Real Estate agent April Stroud is proud to call Lexington home and enjoys helping others find their special place to call home as well.
“I love Lexington’s small-town feel. There is just so much to do, and I love to showcase the lake,” Stroud said.
“There are always events happening in the area and with local businesses. It’s really awesome the way this town includes the community and has things for people to do.”
In her spare time, Stroud enjoys spending time with her husband Joe and twin boys Ethan and Ryan. The family enjoys trips to the beach or mountains, and they especially enjoy attending concerts. “Ever since they could walk, we’ve taken them to concerts. Our family enjoys music,” Stroud said.
Stroud was born and raised in South Carolina and lived in the Gilbert/Lexington area for most of her life. Her interest as a realtor began in high school when she job shadowed at a real estate company. After working in the medical field, Stroud decided to pursue real estate again in 2016. Because her husband was working in North Carolina during the week, Ethan and Ryan accompanied her when she started selling homes.
“I had to get back into the classroom to take real estate classes, and I just kind of grinded. I took the boys with me everywhere – to listing appointments, showing homes to buyers, inspections – they were there with me through it all.” Stroud said of her sons, who are now teenagers.
Stroud’s years of hard work have paid off as she has been voted as Lexington Life’s Best Real Estate Agent for the past seven years. “I enjoy showing newcomers around that are coming in from other areas and states. It’s exciting showing your hometown.” Stroud said also noting how much Lexington has grown.
Stroud said she has learned in her ten years in real estate to focus on her clients. “Finding the best house depends on what the client is looking for and determining what the best fit for them is. I consider if they are a first-time home buyer, if they have a family, if they are older … those are important factors. It has to fit into what they think is best.”
Stroud places priority on being accessible to her clients and enjoys her work helping them to buy or sell their home. For those who are first responders, healthcare workers, active military, veterans, law enforcement, or teachers, Stroud offers the “My Hero Reward Program.”
“It’s fun getting to know different people,” said Stroud.
