Between Two Doors: A Conversation with Anita Ice on Real Estate in Aledo, Texas

If you're looking for a knowledgeable and passionate real estate agent in Aledo, Texas, then look no further than Anita Ice. With over 12 years of experience in the industry, Anita has been helping home buyers and sellers navigate the real estate market in Parker County and beyond. On today’s episode of Between Two Doors, we sat down with Anita to talk about her journey into real estate, her love for the Aledo area, and her advice for buyers and sellers alike.

A Passion for Real Estate

Anita’s journey into real estate was fueled by a long-standing passion for helping people find their dream homes. Though she had always wanted to become a real estate agent, concerns about expenses, licensing requirements, and income stability initially held her back. However, in 2012, she decided to take the leap, and she hasn’t looked back since.

“For me, real estate is about more than just transactions,” Anita shares. “It’s about guiding people through some of the biggest decisions of their lives, whether it’s buying their first home, upgrading as their family grows, or downsizing into a more manageable space.”

Why Aledo, Texas?

Aledo and the surrounding Parker County area offer a unique blend of small-town charm and modern convenience. Anita describes the area as a place where open ranches, rolling hills, and tight-knit communities create an inviting atmosphere.

“We have great events like the Parker County Peach Festival, Christmas on the Square, and professional rodeos at the Sheriff Posse Grounds,” Anita explains. “It’s a place where you get the best of both worlds—peaceful country living with easy access to the Fort Worth metroplex.”

New Build Opportunities in Tolar and Rutherford

Anita is currently representing new build developments in Tolar and Rutherford, offering buyers an opportunity to own brand-new homes at affordable prices.

  • Tolar Development: Featuring 98 lots, with homes starting in the low $200,000s. Buyers can purchase a brand-new 4,000-square-foot home for just over $300,000. This community boasts underground utilities, curbed streets, and a picturesque setting surrounded by farmland.

  • Rutherford Development: A growing subdivision with high-quality new builds, ideal for those looking for a modern home in a serene setting.

For buyers interested in new construction, Anita advises planning for a six-month timeline from contract to move-in date.

Advice for Buyers and Sellers

For Buyers:

  • Prepare Early – Many buyers wait until they feel “ready” to purchase, only to discover unexpected credit issues or financial hurdles. Working with a lender early in the process can help eliminate surprises.

  • Understand Your Budget – Factor in not just the mortgage but also property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs.

  • Think Long-Term – Whether it’s a first home or an investment property, consider the future resale value and growth potential of the area.

For Sellers:

  • Price It Right – Overpricing can lead to longer market times, while underpricing may leave money on the table. Anita provides expert market analysis to help sellers list at the optimal price.

  • Make Smart Improvements – Small updates, such as fresh paint or minor repairs, can make a big difference in attracting buyers.

  • Be Ready for Offers – In today’s market, buyers expect fast responses, so being prepared to negotiate and accept offers is crucial.

Certifications & Specializations

Anita believes in lifelong learning and has pursued multiple certifications to better serve her clients, including:

  • Short Sale & Foreclosure Specialist – Helping homeowners navigate financial hardships and avoid foreclosure through strategic sales.

  • Certified Real Estate Negotiator – Ensuring clients receive the best possible deals, whether buying or selling.

What’s Next for Anita?

Anita is currently working on obtaining her broker’s license and plans to become an associate broker by 2025. She also remains committed to serving her clients with integrity, professionalism, and a personal touch.

Beyond Real Estate: Life & Hobbies

When she’s not helping clients, Anita enjoys spending time outdoors. She’s an avid camper, hiker, and kayaker, often venturing into the Smoky Mountains or participating in 5K races. Family and faith are at the center of her life, and she cherishes time spent with her four sons and grandson.
