Steve Fox's Story 

​

I was born in Columbus, Ohio. My father was an Air Force officer, so the first few years of my life were spent moving around. 

In Austin, Texas, I found my love for sports at an early age. I recall playing basketball at the neighbor’s house while wearing my dad’s cowboy boots. I guess the advantage there was the high heels to give a five-year-old some extra height! 

My father then retired to a small town in Michigan. It was a great place to grow up and I have fond memories of playing football and baseball with friends in a small lot behind my house.

In school I established some amazing friendships and I keep in touch with those friends today. When I graduated, I was voted the nicest person in our class. Kindness is a core value that I have carried throughout my life. Although I loved growing up there, I had a compelling urge to move on to bigger cities and better things. 

After graduating from Michigan State University, I thought climbing the corporate ladder was the career path for me. I went on to get my MBA at Wayne State University in Detroit while working full time.

I was content with my career, until I realized it wasn’t fulfilling. I started reading as many books as I could on real estate investing and consumed as much information as possible.

My passion for real estate and newfound knowledge led me to purchase my first single-family home that I rented. Eventually, I owned 3 single-family homes and a 14-unit apartment building. 

I also had a passion for fixing up my own house and being my own interior designer. I started thinking more and more about building a career in real estate, and eventually I got my real estate license.

I timed that well, as it was during the subprime mortgage crisis. Getting started in real estate was a struggle at the time, but I was dedicated to mastering the art and science of selling and buying homes at the best price possible.

Eventually, I started seeing success over the years, helping more and more people become homeowners and learning every aspect of real estate transactions. I truly enjoy supporting my clients in every facet of the home buying and home selling process. 

When I started going through the process of my aging mother moving in with us, I started to focus on helping others with not only similar experiences, but also in the process of selling their home to downsize in preparation for being empty nesters and/or retirement.

I want to assist like-minded people and help them through this process because I understand what it’s like. I extend my core values of kindness, strong work ethic, real estate knowledge, and experience to my clients.

Today, I’m grateful to be helping downsizers in Rockwall County and nearby areas sell and transition to a smaller home perfect for their lifestyle.

If you run into me around the Rockwall area, I would love to buy you a coffee and get to know you better!
