Scott Horne

I’ve been an attorney with Horne and Associates PC in Dallas for 35 years.

Additional I’m owner of 1st Option Title and OFN National Escrow with my partner, Susan Tierney. We also own many other businesses all vertically integrated in real estate. My passion is investing in real estate and my only strategy is Owner Financing, I hold over 300 owner finance notes.

Susan Tierney

Before investing in real estate, I spent 30 years in Sales, Marketing and Public Relations working with many of the country’s largest media firms. I started my own Media agency, Tierney Media in 1988 and it still exists today. My specialty was in helping entrepreneurial companies get their products on the shelves of the nation’s largest retailers such as Target, Walmart, and Best Buy. I wholesaled her first property in March of 2016. Today I currently hold 100+ Owner Financed Mortgages and it continues to be my primary investment strategies. I’m also partners with Scott Horne in our real estate investment business as well as other real estate related businesses.

Allyce Olivarez

I love helping people. I have been in this business for 15 years and what keeps me going is the reward of seeing people achieve a large life goal of purchasing a home. Or sellers downgrading or moving somewhere that accommodates their family better. I enjoy being a part of one of the largest purchases my clients will ever make. I love spending time with my 13 and 4 year old and my 6 year old Boston Terrier. They are the reason why I keep going every day. <3 I have a very adventurous, some would say wild, side to me. I love to try new things and enjoy a little thrill. I don’t take life too seriously. Laughing is a daily must and forgiving yourself is a requirement to love life. I try to treat every single person with kindness. You never know what that person faces daily. Love is my biggest goal.

Andrea Langston

What is the favorite part of my job: I love seeing the excitement when people are buying a new home. Whether they are buying their first home, or an investor buying their 10th property, there is always the excitement of something new and creating new memories. I also love that challenges that come with handling difficult transactions and making it all come together in time for closing. When I am not working, I stay busy with my animal rescue. I also enjoy spending time outdoors with family and friends. I love off roading and camping. If you really knew me, you would know that I will probably die petting something I shouldn’t.

Sharon Figueroa

What’s the most favorite part of your job? Seeing how people can benefit from these transactions. Sellers get to avoid foreclosure and sometimes even get to buy or rent their properties back. Buyers can get the opportunity to buy their own home, which for one reason or another reason they couldn’t achieved in the traditional mortgage world. What do you like to do when you are not working? I like Outdoor activities, traveling and enjoy time with the family. If you really knew me….you’d know? That I love to travel and see different cultures, traditions and people.

Jennifer Larkin

What’s the most favorite part of your job? I enjoy helping people through the process of purchasing a home and working with them during what can be a stressful time. It’s very rewarding to see the excitement on their faces at closing. What do you like to do when you are not working? I enjoy spending time with my family and three dogs. We like to spend the weekends traveling and exploring new places in the beautiful state of Arizona. If I’m not out exploring new places, you may find me shopping for antiques or trying out new restaurants. If you really knew me…you’d know? You’d know that I’m funny and have more shoes than any one person should.

Debbie Jones

Debbie is a forward-thinking marketing professional with an impressive track record spanning over 25 years in the multifamily industry. With over two decades of invaluable experience, I am not just a marketing professional; I am a seasoned expert dedicated to consistently delivering positive outcomes and contributing to the success and growth of the company. Authenticity is the cornerstone of my approach—I take pride in owning my values and spirit, reflecting a genuine commitment to integrity in all aspects of my work. Away from the hustle, you can find me indulging in a variety of interests, from the thrill of live concerts to the serenity of lake days. While I’m an avid NFL follower, my favorite team remains a well-guarded secret-perhaps a mystery. I thrive on organizing chaos and relish quality time with my family and friends.

I don’t feel like there is need for improvement. She is so phenomenal, professional, caring, and works extremely hard, and is so attentive to her clients and transactions. I’ve been doing this for almost 15 years and wish I would’ve met her way before now loved and adored working with her.
