About Richard Avery

I spent 28 years in the food sales and marketing industry starting at an entry level position and progressed upward as opportunities allowed. From retail sales to executive VP managing national food clients and corporate grocery customers. In 1995, I partnered with an independent Grocery Sales and Marking Company based in San Antonio Texas. Together we opened an office in Dallas with one national client and grew the business over the next eight years to exceed $300M in annual sales. That combined with the growth in the San Antonio and Houston office the company had a combined annual sales of $900M. During this same time in the year 2000 I and two other executives created ACW Holdings, LLC and later RLGH Holdings, LLC which is the financial arm to 16 successful Sonic Drive-Ins in the metro Atlanta, Georgia area to central Georgia. This partnership continues today. My wife and I have several rental properties from New Mexico to Texas and had bought and sold real estate over the years. In addition to real estate developments in Kalispell Montana with Alan Avery, (Avery Developments) to Candler Park residential sub-divison in Kathleen, Georgia (Part of Avery Concept Properties, LLC) After selling my interest in Advantage Sales and Marketing in 2005 and my wife and I retired to our lake house on Cedar Creek Lake. This afforded the opportunity to fulfill a life time desire to create a second career in Real Estate. Besides my Grandfather owned Avery Real Estate in Oak Cliff, Texas from 1930-1960. After acquiring my Real Estate license in 2009 and teamed up with my son Richard J Avery Jr. (RJ) to create Avery Realty Group. RJ manages the parent office in Forney, Texas while I opened the branch office in Gun Barrel City in 2010 which I manage today.

Richard Avery contacted me from a Zillow request. No knowledge of the property I was inquiring about, and never called me back as promised. I ended up buying the property 3 months later through another agent.

Richard has sold three houses for us in the past and one recently. We highly recommend him and his staff as everything has always gone smoothly at closing and he has been there with us every step of the way.

Richard made the lake house buying experience quick and easy. He did a lot of pre-work to help us find the right home with perfect water depth and dock/lakefront. His local expertise in property, neighborhoods and the buying/closing process made the experience quick and easy. Would definitely recommend Richard to friends, and would use again.

He was very resourceful and professional through the months it took to find the home that was right for us. His knowledge of the area and expertise in all areas of real estate and financing processes was remarkable. He made himself available on short notice on several occasions. We are happy with the purchase of our home and would highly recommend Richard & Avery Realty Group to find your dream home. You will be glad you did!

We can't say enough about you and your work. You stayed with us every step of the way and never let us down. You always kept us in the loop even on your vacation. We would not be in this house were it not for you. You are very professional and provide the customer service and stand behind your clients. You always provided us with the correct direction to help us with the best buying experience and to help us make the right decision on the right house for us. We can never thank you enough..
