United Country Real Estate, The Country Connection™, is your Real
Estate connection in the Buying and Selling of property in North East
Texas.  United Country has been specializing in rural real estate since
1925.  WE ARE THE COUNTRY PROPERTY EXPERTS! Let us help
you buy or sell your farm, ranch, country home, acreage, or country
business thru our national sales and marketing thru United
Country Real Estate.  The Proprietors of this business are Clark
and Linda Scarborough, who have been residents of Van Zandt
County since April, 1997.  Clark is a former Executive of a Major
Real Estate Development Company (Las Colinas) and Linda is a former
teacher. Clark dreamed up the concept of a real estate company which
would connect seekers of country property (from DFW) with the land and
homes available in rural East Texas counties.  That is the year The Country
Connection, Inc.™  was incorporated.  At that time we envisioned providing video
tape tours of rural property shown to city dwellers at their homes or offices to
eliminate the need to make repeated drives to the country to see properties
which might not fit their needs.  By the time we opened our office, the internet
replaced the need to make videos and buyers are able to shop for property
in their bathrobes at home.  The dream became  a reality in 1998 when we
purchased the United Country franchise in Canton, TX.  Clark is the
Broker and Linda does all the Marketing as well as the Web Design for
all company websites.  We try to offer a range of websites which
will help our clients learn more about our area and find property
which will allow them to begin to live the great country life which
all of us out here already enjoy.  Be sure to visit our other
sites to learn even more about life in the country in North
East TX.  "Life is Good...Even better in the Country"™
