longview homes: A dream team in Texas! - 06/16/14 06:18 AM
 
A dream team in Texas! As most everyone knows I love Real Estate and my second love in business is entertainment. Last Year Bob Mauldin of 31 West Productions and I developed Extreme Real Estate for TV and had a blast. Extreme Real Estate got kicked up the line for National consideration, but we still wanted a uniquely Texas show. So Bob and I created “Terry Miller’s Texas”.
 
We’ll today we added Trent Spalding who is one of the best promoters in the country to Terry Miller’s Texas. Trent is amazing and will handle all of the marketing … (0 comments)
