About Eva Orchard
I'm Eva Orchard, a dual-licensed Texas and Oklahoma Realtor® with Ebby Halliday Real Estate, serving Pottsboro, Denison, Sherman, Gunter, Celina, Prosper, Kingston, Durant, and the lake communities across both states. I've worked in real estate since 2011 and bring extensive experience with relocation, lake homes, new construction, vacation homes, and families moving into or around the Texoma region. My FastExpert transaction list is currently updating and may not reflect all closed sales, especially new-construction homes and Oklahoma lake-area transactions. Once synced, it will provide a complete and accurate history. I hold certifications as a LeadingRE Sales Specialist, LeadingRE Service Expert, and Hometown Heroes Certified agent, and I'm also a Texas CPA. This financial background helps clients understand contracts, tax implications, investment potential, and dual-state differences with clarity. As a Pottsboro resident living minutes from a marina, I love helping clients understand the nuances of lake living--marina access, Corps of Engineers land, water-access differences, neighborhood trends, and the unique lifestyle that comes with it. I stay current on Texas and Oklahoma contracts, foundations, market trends, and development across the Sherman-Denison corridor. Whether you're buying, selling, relocating, or exploring lake life, I combine financial expertise with genuine care and strong market insight to make the process feel comfortable and confident at every step.

Community Involvement
Eva is deeply committed to giving back to the Lake Texoma community. She has proudly planned a Toys for Tots drive for 11 years, including hosting a yearly Santa photo event for local families at the Ebby Halliday office. She supports the Locust Volunteer Fire Department, participates in the Boot Scootin' Ball fundraiser, and contributes to community-centered efforts through Habitat for Humanity, her church, and various local events. As a long-time resident, she believes in supporting the organizations that make Texoma a warm and connected place to live.
HOBBIES/INTEREST
When she's not helping clients, Eva is usually enjoying the lake lifestyle that inspired her to make Texoma home. She loves boating, fishing, paddleboarding, and catching sunrises and sunsets on the water; especially near her favorite marinas. Eva and her husband enjoy trying every new local restaurant and bar around the lake, finding new places with great views and even better food. She's also passionate about photography, writing, and creating content that captures the beauty of Lake Texoma. Pilates is her workout of choice, with everything else designed to support her Pilates habit. Family time often means traveling to visit her grown children and grandson -- or relaxing somewhere warm like Cabo San Lucas. She's an avid reader, a lover of musicals and opera, and always up for a concert or a little two-stepping. Holiday markets, sunset cruises, and simple lake moments are her favorite way to unwind.
FAMILY
Eva is married and a proud mom of three adult children--one is a veteran currently in law school, one is serving in the U.S. Air Force, and one is a professional harpist. Two of her children are married, and she has one grandson with another grandchild on the way. With her kids living in different states, Eva understands firsthand the realities of relocation and long-distance moves, and she brings that empathy into her work with clients.

FAQ
When buying around Lake Texoma, I always recommend looking beyond the home itself and understanding the lifestyle the location provides. Marina proximity, lake access, and Corps of Engineers restrictions play a major role in how you’ll use and enjoy the property. Always get a full inspection — our area has unique soil, moisture, and foundation considerations. For out-of-state and relocation buyers, I also take time to explain neighborhoods, schools, commutes, nearby amenities, and the differences between the Texas and Oklahoma sides of the lake so you can make confident, informed decisions.
Pricing strategy matters more than anything else. I use local market data, seasonal patterns, and lake-specific comps to position your home correctly. Presentation is equally important — staging and quality photography can dramatically increase interest. As a dual-licensed Realtor, I market your home across both Texas and Oklahoma, reaching relocation buyers, lake-home seekers, and out-of-state families exploring the Texoma region. Clear communication, smart marketing, and strategic positioning lead to strong results.
I work with a wide range of clients including relocation families, veterans, out-of-state buyers, vacation home buyers, first-time buyers, move-up buyers, new construction clients, and investors. I also work extensively with buyers searching for lake-access and lake-view homes near Highport, Catfish Bay, Tanglewood, Alberta Creek, and other marinas. On the seller side, I assist homeowners throughout Pottsboro, Denison, Sherman, and the surrounding Oklahoma communities. Every client receives personalized guidance tailored to their needs and lifestyle goals.
One of my favorite recent experiences involved a relocation family moving to Sherman. They were leaving all their support systems behind, had four children needing to start school, and had been declined by several lenders due to complex financials and multiple rental properties. I connected them with a lender willing to dig deeper and understand their full situation. We found a path forward, and during the process the builder lowered their pricing. I negotiated the reduced price for the family, and they were able to close in time for school to start. Helping them feel supported and settled in a new community was incredibly meaningful.
Before real estate, I worked as a Controller for an internet-based education company. As the company grew, I traveled more and realized my family needed me home in a deeper way. A local broker recognized that my CPA background was a strong match for relocation and investment clients and encouraged me to pursue real estate. It turned out to be the perfect blend of numbers and heart. Real estate gave me the flexibility to be present for my family and allowed me to help people navigate major life transitions — something I find deeply fulfilling.
Yes. I’m a Texas CPA with a strong financial background, a dual-licensed Realtor in Texas and Oklahoma, a LeadingRE Sales Specialist, a LeadingRE Service Expert, and Hometown Heroes Certified. I’m also relocation trained through the Ebby Halliday Relocation & Referral Team. I stay current on Texas and Oklahoma contracts, new construction standards, foundation and soil issues, and development trends throughout the Texoma region. This combination of financial insight, local knowledge, lake expertise, and ongoing education allows me to guide clients with clarity and confidence.
