Things to Do in Wichita Falls
There seems to always be something to do in Wichita Falls. A great source to find upcoming events is the Choose Wichita Falls website. Wichita Falls is the smallest city in the United states which has both a symphony and ballet. The annual Hotter ‘N Hell bicycle race is one of the largest and oldest cycling events in the country attracting riders from all over the world. We also have regional rodeos, the annual Texas Ranch Roundup, concerts, and more. The Wichita Falls Chamber of Commerce is very supportive of the small business community. All this has increased interest in Wichita Falls homes for sale resulting in a rise in prices and higher demand from buyers.
The last few years have seen a rise in recreational activities. The city has been constructing a circle trail, which when complete will provide a 23 mile trail around the city for biking, walking and jogging. This trail has many rest stops and informational signs along the way. This trail goes by Lake Wichita which is another exciting development. The City of Wichita Falls has been on a journey to revitalize the Lake Wichita area. The plans are for this to include new boat ramps, new underwater habitat for fish to improve fishing, a pavilion for concerts and events, restaurants, possibly a wake park and canoe areas with ADA compliant loading docs. The circle trail is also planned to extend out over the water from Barnett Road and connect with the existing trail at Lake Wichita Park. This is going to be a great quality of life addition to the city which is sure to boost Wichita Falls real estate values in the area in WFMLS, especially anywhere along this trail.

Tim did a wonderful job for us! He showed us a variety of homes that were in our style and price range. We found a home the first day. He was very supportive, answered all our questions, and even gave us contact information for different resources we needed. This has been my best experience in home buying. Thank you Tim for all of your hard work. I highly recommend Tim as your real estate agent. �

July 25, 2017Tim did a fabulous job with selling my Mother's home for us after she passed away. We had another realtor that had the property listed for 6 months and he did nothing. He only called two times to discuss activity with the property and the second time was 2 weeks before the contract was to expire. So glad I found Tim. He stayed in contact with me and got busy and sold it. He knows what he is doing and on top of that he really is a nice guy.

June 27, 2017Tim has been such a great help to us as first time home buyers! He walked us through each step and has made the process of buying a house a lot less overwhelming. He is an outstanding realtor who is extremely knowledgeable about the market. We highly recommend him to anybody looking to buy a house!

Tim did a great job selling our house. I recommend hi highly.

October 12, 2016Tim Lockhart is an outstanding Realtor. What is most impressive is his work ethic which was evident the first day we met. Tim was walking neighborhood to neighborhood, on foot prospecting homes. We had our home listed for sale by owner and at the time we did not receive the attention we had hoped. We figured a Realtor committed enough to walk a neighborhood looking for business is the type of person we want committed towards helping us sell our home. Im happy to say our intuition was correct Tim is a VERY hard working and dedicated Realtor. He will do everything he can to get your home sold, I highly recommend Tim Lockhart.

July 29, 2016We attempted to sell our house for sale by owner, but we did not get very many showings. Then we met Tim and listed our house under him. He was very professional and did a great job marketing our house. We had a lot more showings and sold our house. I highly recommend Tim Lockhart.
