How we got here.

John and Grace started as the property manager and accountant in the property management business with Columbia Property Management (Columbia) in 2013.  Columbia evolved into Trova Real Estate Services in 2021 to expand the business through Arkansas with short term rental management services.  By December 2022 after more than a year of expansion throughout Arkansas, Trova sold the short term rental management business, and in April 2023 John and Grace finalized the purchase of the long-term property management portion of the business.  We have focusing on providing exceptional property management services to owners and tenants in the Texarkana area, in addition to providing real estate services for home buyers and sellers.   

John graduated from Pleasant Grove in 2005 and attended Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia where he earned a Bachelors Degree in Accounting.    Upon graduation in 2009 he moved to Austin, Texas where he worked in accounting for small publicly traded companies.  He moved back to Texarkana in 2012 working from home before joining Columbia. 

Grace is from Nashville, Arkansas, where she spent most of her childhood.   She moved to Dallas, Texas her senior year of high school and worked in the Dallas area for six years before moving back to Texarkana, getting her real estate license and working for Columbia.
