Partnerships Leading To Scalability

How A Personal Banking Relationship Helped Laura and Micah Fore Scale Their Real Estate Company Throughout The Texas Hill Country

When Laura and Micah Fore, Owners of Fore Premier Properties in Kerrville, first opened their business in 2008, they were on a mission to become the premier local, independent real estate firm specializing in luxury residential and ranch properties in the Texas Hill Country. Over the past 14 years, they have grown to serve the Hill Country community through their commitment to redefining upscale real estate sales in Kerrville and surrounding areas.

Throughout their growth, their banker Kenneth Early has been their trusted advisor and partner in powering the potential of Fore Premier Properties.

"Being in the real estate industry, we know how important it is to have a good lender, and we feel we’ve found that in Kenneth Early and Texas Hill Country Bank. Kenneth has supported us for over five years in our real estate investments: home equity lines of credit, commercial loans, residential real estate loans...he’s been there any time we need him, phone call or text. He’s been great to work with."

The Fore’s have leaned on Kenneth for various financial solutions for their real estate industry needs, but what they value most is their relationship with him. Having access to Kenneth as a steadfast advisor who they know has their best interest at heart has been a catalyst for their burgeoning business. They appreciate that everyone at Texas Hill Country Bank knows them on a first-name basis, and they value the true sense of community between the bank and its clients.

"We have used Texas Hill Country Bank for many years for various real estate needs, and I have found the staff to be extremely friendly and always attentive. To be on a first-name basis going through the drive-thru or picking up the phone and asking a quick question to our loan officer, they’ve always been available practically 24/7 and weekends too. It’s been a joy to work with them and they have been highly supportive of our company and our company’s growth every step of the way."
