Know the Market

What Makes Orange a Unique Market for Agents?

Orange sits on the Sabine River at the Louisiana line. It is the first Texas city on I-10 and the third corner of the Golden Triangle with Beaumont and Port Arthur.

The plants along Chemical Row, the port, and Lamar State College Orange keep people moving in and out. Storms have shaped many homes here. Agents who know flood history and the state line stand out.
