We're the husband-and-wife real estate team behind Love My Texoma Home, brokered by Regal Realtors in Texas and B&J Co. in Oklahoma — with real estate expertise on both sides of Lake Texoma.
Our mission is to bring people together so they can grow, love and succeed.

Buying or selling around Lake Texoma is its own kind of real estate experience. Crossing a bridge, a county line, or the Red River can bring a different MLS system, different contract customs, and different disclosure and financing details. When you're dealing with lakefront property, acreage, new construction, investment property, or rural land, having a team who understands those details from the start makes all the difference.
That's where Brian & Jonelle Allen come in. Together we bring more than two decades of combined real estate experience, 1,516+ career closings, and $228 million+ in career sales volume to buyers, sellers, investors, and property owners throughout North Texas and Southern Oklahoma. And the numbers are only part of the story.

Why we built Love My Texoma Home
We built Love My Texoma Home to give this region a real estate team shaped around how it actually works.
Brian and Jonelle have each spent more than 11 years working in real estate, and along the way we noticed something: the Texoma market moves as one connected region. Buyers searching in Grayson County are often just as interested in Bryan or Marshall County. Sellers in Sherman want the same level of attention as sellers in Kingston or Durant.
So we built our own team, on our own terms, under both our names — a team focused on relationships over transaction volume, and built around how this region truly works. We live here. We work here. We invest here. From Sherman, Denison, and Pottsboro to Durant, Kingston, and the communities around Lake Texoma, this isn't just a market we serve. It's home.
The Texoma power couple: two different skill sets, one real estate strategy
Brian: the strategist
Brian is the strategist, marketer, analyst, and problem solver. His background includes residential real estate, land development and marketing, foreclosures, distressed properties, hard-to-sell "ugly houses," Broker Price Opinions (BPOs), market analysis, digital marketing, and complex contract structures.
Give him a straightforward transaction and he'll find ways to improve it. Give him a property that needs a creative approach, and you've probably made his day. His experience matters most with multiple parcels, unusual properties, surveys, valuation challenges, investment considerations, cross-border issues, or financing like tribal loan compliance.
Jonelle: the closer
Jonelle brings the people, property, and transaction sides together. Her specialties include new construction, luxury lake homes, short-term rental properties, localized property sourcing, staging insight, client relations, and transaction coordination.
She has a knack for taking a transaction with dozens of moving parts and turning it into a clear path forward. From contract to inspections, lender requirements, repair negotiations, documentation, escrow, and closing, Jonelle keeps everyone moving toward the same destination.
Together, we create something neither of us could build alone
Strategy plus execution. Marketing plus presentation. Numbers plus relationships. And because we're husband and wife, the collaboration doesn't stop when someone leaves the office — real estate conversations happen over morning coffee, driving around Lake Texoma, and sometimes late at night when a complicated deal needs another set of eyes. For clients, that means two experienced professionals thinking about the transaction together, every step of the way.
The Texas–Oklahoma advantage: because the Red River changes more than the license plate
A buyer searching for a lake house may start in Pottsboro, Texas, then discover the right property is near Kingston, Oklahoma. Someone relocating for work in Sherman or Denison might decide living across the state line near Durant fits their lifestyle better. An investor may compare opportunities in Grayson County, Texas, with properties in Bryan, Marshall, or Choctaw County, Oklahoma.
Each area brings its own contracts, MLS systems, disclosure practices, tax considerations, property records, financing requirements, utilities, permitting, surveys, and closing customs. We understand those differences — and instead of treating Texoma as a collection of separate towns, we treat it as the connected regional market it's become. Compare the two sides in our Texas vs. Oklahoma guide.
Lake Texoma real estate requires local knowledge
Two properties that look similar online can have very different considerations. These are the questions we ask on every lake and rural property:
🌊 Is it actually waterfront?
What sits between the property line and the water? Are there Corps of Engineers considerations?
⚓ Docks & marinas
Where is the nearest marina or boat ramp? Could a dock, shop or addition be restricted?
💧 Water & septic
Municipal water, rural water, a well, or another system? What type of septic is installed?
📐 Surveys & restrictions
Has the land been surveyed? What restrictions apply?
🏡 Short-term rental?
Would the property work as a short-term rental — and do the rules allow it?
Local knowledge helps buyers understand what they're actually buying, and helps sellers anticipate the questions serious buyers are going to ask. More in Living the Lake Life and our land buying guide.
Marketing properties differently
A property deserves more than an MLS listing. It deserves a strategy built around who's most likely to buy it. Before real estate, Brian spent years building a career in digital marketing — brand strategy, content, paid advertising, analytics, and online growth. That experience shapes how we position every listing and where it reaches the right buyer online.
Every property gets its own strategy. A lake house is marketed around the lifestyle it offers. Acreage is presented around its potential. An investment property is positioned around the numbers, and new construction gets messaging built around what makes it different. Jonelle adds presentation, staging insight, and buyer perspective. The goal isn't just views — it's interest from the right buyer. See how we sell homes.
Local relationships matter
A successful closing can involve lenders, inspectors, appraisers, surveyors, contractors, repair specialists, and insurance agents. Over the years we've built relationships with experienced local professionals. Clients are never required to use a particular provider, but having an established network makes it easier when a transaction needs something handled quickly. See our lenders & local pros.

Frequently asked questions about working with us
Do you work in both Texas and Oklahoma?
Yes. Love My Texoma Home focuses on the cross-border Texoma region, with particular emphasis on North Texas and Southern Oklahoma, including communities around Lake Texoma. Our experience lets clients evaluate opportunities across state lines instead of limiting a search just because the paperwork changes at the Red River.
How do you handle cross-border or out-of-state transactions?
We help coordinate the moving pieces among clients, lenders, inspectors, surveyors, contractors, and other parties. Electronic documentation and remote communication handle much of the process from a distance, while our local presence means someone's on the ground when a property needs attention.
What makes your property marketing different?
We start with the property's likely buyer instead of relying solely on MLS exposure. Brian's digital marketing background shapes positioning, pricing, creative presentation, online distribution, and property-specific messaging. The goal is to explain why someone should want this particular property, not just announce that it's for sale.
How does Brian determine a property's value?
Comparable sales, current competition, market activity, condition, location, land characteristics, buyer demand, and years of Broker Price Opinion and valuation experience. For acreage, distressed homes, or multi-parcel deals, valuation takes more than an online estimate. Get your home value.
What exactly is a BPO?
A Broker Price Opinion is a real estate professional's analysis of a property's likely market value. Brian's BPO and foreclosure experience means evaluating properties where condition, repairs, marketability, or limited comparable sales make valuation harder.
How does Jonelle help after we're under contract?
Jonelle keeps the transaction organized and understandable — staying ahead of deadlines and coordinating inspections, lenders, documentation, repairs, escrow, and closing requirements, so you can focus on what's ahead.
Can you help with land and acreage?
Yes. Brian has worked with land development and marketing, multi-parcel transactions, surveys, and valuation issues. See our land buying guide.
Do you work with investors and short-term rental buyers?
Yes. Jonelle's experience helps buyers evaluate short-term rentals from both a guest-experience and ownership perspective. Always verify city, county, HOA, deed, financing, and insurance rules before buying for STR use.
Can you help sell a difficult or unusual property?
Absolutely — those are some of Brian's favorite assignments. Foreclosures, distressed homes, acreage, unusual layouts, and "ugly houses" benefit from finding the property's real market and presenting it to buyers who see its potential.
Do you work with luxury and lakefront homes?
Yes. Luxury lake homes and Lake Texoma properties are among Jonelle's specialties — buyers are often buying a lifestyle as much as a house.
Which areas do you serve?
The greater Lake Texoma region, with a strong focus on Sherman, Denison, Pottsboro, Kingston, Durant, Grayson County, Bryan County, Marshall County, and surrounding Southern Oklahoma and North Texas communities, including Choctaw County. See our service areas.
Your home. Your investment. Your Texoma.
Real estate is rarely just about square footage and sales price. It's where you're going to raise a family. It's the lake house you've been talking about for years. It's the acreage where you're finally going to build, an investment that needs to make financial sense, or the property you've inherited and don't know what to do with. Whatever brought you here, you deserve a team that understands the market, knows the territory, spots problems early, communicates clearly, and has the experience to guide every step.
