Keith Burrhus
A Brief History – Personal and
Otherwise
I was raised in a small town called
Edna, TX, the youngest of seven kids.
 We
all still gather at my sweet mom’s home almost every
holiday, and truly enjoy each other and all of Grandma’s
“grands” and “great-grands”. My mother continues to
show me the endless capacity of her love and God’s
love.
I lost my daddy to cancer when I
was 13 years old. He was a drilling superintendent for
a small oil and gas company called Howell Drilling,
Inc. During the period I knew him, he gave me the
profound love of a father. He also taught me how to
drive 80 mph down narrow country roads, and most
importantly, he showed me a work ethic that still drives
me today.
I attended the University of Texas
and graduated with BS and MA degrees in Health Promotion
and Exercise Physiology. During the time of my master’s
program, I learned more about a strong work ethic, more
about communication, and more about being a Christian
from my advisor Dr. Jack Wilmore. He was very much like
a father to me during that time. My first boy Jack
Richard Burrhus is named after his Granddaddy (Paul
Richard Burrhus) and Dr. Wilmore.
 My
wife Melanie came into my life during the UT years, and
in 1992 we moved to Sugar Land, TX, where I became
manager of a sports medicine and training clinic. So,
where in the world does real estate fit into this life?
Well, my second boy is Joseph Francis Burrhus, and he is
named in honor of a man by the name of Frank DeCicco.
Frank used to come into our sports center and I would
help him with his rehab exercise for his heart
condition. He sort of quit coming around for a time,
then one day came by and asked if I could help him with
his exercise routine at his home. I said yes, and
quickly became good friends with him and his lovely wife
Jean.
Frank happened to be the owner of
the statewide franchise of RE/MAX, but he knew my
passion for my field of work, and so we really focused
on his health improvements for the first 4 years of our
relationship. Well along comes our first child Jack,
and boy did that change our life! Melanie and I both
wanted Melanie to be able to stay at home to raise Jack,
so a better job was the plan for Keith. In the fall of
1996 I indicated to Frank that I would not be able to
continue meeting with him because a new job would not
likely have the schedule flexibility I currently had.
Frank said I needed to become a real estate agent, and
since I loved and trusted him like a father, I listened
to him.
It turned out to be the BEST career move I had ever
made, and I have not looked back with any regret. Frank
showed me the results of an unbelievably focused work
ethic and long-term vision.
In the summer of 2000 I purchased
my own RE/MAX franchise, and am currently broker/owner
of RE/MAX Town & Country. My greatest accomplishments
have been marrying my wife Melanie, and having Jack and
Joseph, who I have mentioned already, and Leah Ashley,
my one and only daughter who of course is the apple of
my eye.
The pinnacle of my professional
life, the times when I am happiest are when I get to be
in front of folks like you, represent you, know you, and
serve you throughout the sale of your home and beyond.
Today my love, passion, struggles, and victories are for
God, my family, my friends, my clients, and my agents.
Often I get to wear boots and jeans to work. I am one
lucky guy. |
