I’m Jim “Coach Solly” Solomon — a lifelong Northeast Texas resident, retired coach and teacher, and now your trusted real estate guide across Mt. Vernon, Lake Cypress, Franklin County, and the surrounding countryside.

For more than 30 years, I coached and mentored young people throughout Northeast Texas, building relationships rooted in trust, hard work, and treating people the right way. Today, I bring those same values to real estate.

Whether you’re buying your first home, searching for lake property, selling family land, or looking for that perfect small-town retreat, I believe real estate should still be personal. Around here, a handshake still means something.

I specialize in:

  • Lake Homes and Waterfront Property

  • Ranchland and Acreage

  • Luxury and Legacy Homes

  • Small-town and Rural Northeast Texas real estate

As someone who has spent a lifetime in this community, I know the land, the people, the schools, and the stories behind these properties. My goal is simple: help clients make wise decisions while making the process feel comfortable, honest, and straightforward.

When you work with Coach Solly, you’re not just getting a REALTOR — you’re getting someone who genuinely cares about your next move. Give me a call!
