Prospective Sellers
If you own property in Van Zandt, Henderson, or Kaufman Counties and wish to sell it, let us show you why United Country, The Country Connection is the best Real Estate Agency to List with.  We specialize in Premier Country Properties.

Most Real Estate Companies charge about the same commission to sell your
property, but United Country offers you much more for your commission
dollars.  The 3 P's in Real Estate Sales are: Put a sign in the yard, Put an ad in
the Paper, and PRAY*.  Sometimes that is enough for a very desirable property
offered at a very reasonable price.  Many other realtors also have web sites thru their
franchise or thru their local agency.   We invite you to visit these websites and compare
them with the web site exposure we offer through our web sites.  If you feel your
property deserves more than the 3P's (and minimal web exposure), call us to put
the wide range of Marketing we have at our disposal to work for you!

United Country began as United Farm Agency in 1925.  In 1928,  United
Farm began publishing a catalog of country properties for sale.  Our
Catalogs have come a long way since then.  Below you will see some of
the National Publications we use today to Market our listings.

Celebrating 82 Years of Connecting
               Buyers and Sellers of Country Property!

"1925    to  2008"

        Then          Now

The full color United Country Catalogs come out twice a year and include a
Premier Properties Section.   These include properties from all over the nation
and are distributed all over the world when picked up free at a local office or
requested from United Country's toll free number or website.  In between the two color
United Country Catalogs, two Real Estate Samplers are issued.  These include properties
for each of two (Eastern & Western) regions, and have black and white pictures of listings
for each office in that region.  Our listings are pictured in the Central and Western US
Sampler which comes out twice a year.  These Samplers are available in racks in our area
and one of these magazines is sent free of charge to every caller to the United Country
Toll-Free Phone number.  This means there are a total of four National Property
catalogs per year, distributed across the nation, so you property can be seen
by Potential Buyers from Coast to Coast.

In addition, all those callers who are looking for property in Texas will go out on
a Potential Buyers List to United Country agencies all over Texas (including
ours).  We receive hundreds of names per week for Buyers seeking property in
Texas.  The Buyer for your property may be on the list this week.  We can contact
these buyers and give them our web address so they can see our current
listings, or mail them info on property that suits their requirements.   If a
buyer is describing a property we have a good match for,
we just pick up the phone and Call them!

Other National Publications include American Treasures which features
Historic Properties; Farm and Ranch Bulletins, Waterfront and Recreational
Property Bulletins, Business Opportunities Bulletins for Commercial
Properties.  Each comes out twice a year, so that there is always something
new throughout the year.  All of these are available through United Country
Offices or the United Country's toll free number.  The American Treasures
Magazine is also sold on newsstands.

United Country maintains a website with links to all the offices in the nation.  We
are linked to that website, but we maintain our own Award Winning Website just
for East Texas Listings.  By maintaining our own website, we can take many
pictures of your property with our digital camera and get it out
on the website quickly, plus we can be free to put as many details and
pictures as desired to help market your property.  Please see examples below:

home, & Investment property) we have an additional website just to feature those listings.

Want to know how much traffic our United Country Internet site generates?
Click here to see the graph of the growth of this dynamic Country Property website
Traffic has increased steadily since 1999 when the site was redesigned and Country property
from all over the nation became "searchable" on our Real time property Inventory system. 
  Other websites like to talk about "hits", as opposed to "visitor sessions".  Don't be fooled
by those statistics.  The 826,000 visitor sessions in March, 2006 represents over 94 million
"hits" to the United Country website.  Visit for yourself and see what all the excitement is about
at this link: www.unitedcountry.com.   To see the searchable database of properties in
NorthEast Texas offered by our offices in Canton and Athens,
The Country Connection,Inc, click this link: www.east-tx-real-estate.com.

United Country has signed an agreement with homeadvisor.com, a Microsoft
Company, to put listings from their database also in the database for
Home Advisor.  We are putting your property in front of more buyers daily!

We are also members of the Greater Dallas MLS (North Texas Regional MLS) 
This MLS association allows Realtors all over North Texas to view your
property and bring clients to see them.  These MLS listings are also
shown on the largest home database in the country, www.realtor.com.

United Country advertises all over the nation in magazines, and metropolitian newspapers,
including the New York Times, Chicago Tribune and the Wall Street Journal.  We have
a list of the 100's of publications in which they advertise listings.  They do not advertise
the United Country name.  They advertise Properties for sale from offices all over the US.

Beyond our national advertising, we advertise regionally in the:
EAST TEXAS PROPERTIES, EAST TEXAS HOMES & FARMS MAGAZINE,
DALLAS MORNING NEWS, & TYLER NEWSPAPER.

Locally, we advertise in the: CANTON HERALD, ATHENS DAILY REVIEW,
CANTON SHOPPER, WILLS POINT CHRONICLE, VAN ZANDT NEWS, and
other publications based on the location of our listings.

*Incidentally, we also put up signs.  We put ads in the paper, and we PRAY for World Peace.
We trust our other Marketing Strategies to bring a Buyer for your property.
