About Our Team
The year is 2001, and the setting is the “largest small town in Texas,” that is, Waco. Brad Harrell teamed with Keller Williams, the largest real estate company in the world.
Brad’s love for his hometown runs deep, and he saw then what we’re all seeing now: Waco was and is primed for major growth. The time was right to establish a real estate presence in the market.
Fast forward to 2015—Brad’s wife Melissa retired from three decades of shaping and molding students as an educator to join Brad, bringing along her vast network of connections built while serving the community. Brad alone built a strong presence, but with Melissa on the team, our agency took a huge leap forward.
Today, over twenty years from Brad’s initial dream, Onward Real Estate Team is the team to know in Central Texas if you’re looking to be a part of what Waco and beyond are building. Whether your needs are in residential real estate, commercial real estate, or a little of both, we have you covered.
