Share News:
There is some serious momentum building in the North Texas real estate scene. Ebby Halliday Realtors has just announced two sales leadership appointments that are set to bring fresh energy, deep local expertise, and top-tier agent support to our communities.
A High-Profile Homecoming: Kris Jones Takes the Reins at Prosper | Celina
If you’ve been keeping an eye on the booming Prosper-Celina market, you know it takes a special kind of leader to navigate all that hyper-growth. Enter Kris Jones.
Returning to the Ebby Halliday family after five highly successful years owning and operating his own independent brokerage, Kris brings over 12 years of market expertise and a proven track record as a top-producing agent. Known as a “Realtor’s Realtor,” Kris’ executive vantage point makes him uniquely equipped to scale office production and elevate agent development.
“Returning to Ebby Halliday to lead the Prosper | Celina office feels like coming home, but with an exciting new mission,” Kris said. “My focus is entirely on empowering our agents, protecting the high standards of integrity this brand was built on, and ensuring our office remains the undisputed destination for luxury and residential excellence.”
Kris is fiercely agent-centered, focusing on hands-on coaching, strategic business planning, and keeping office energy high. Off the clock, Kris is deeply embedded in the community. He was recently voted Star Local Media’s No. 1 Best Realtor alongside his wife and business partner, Karis, and named the 2024 Allen Sports Association Coach of the Year. He lives locally with Karis and their two sons, Hank and Mack.
Cultivating Excellence: Lacy Deckard Named Sales Leader of Rockwall
Over in Rockwall, the office is getting a powerhouse leader who is all about education, marketing, and agent advocacy. Lacy Deckard is stepping into the sales leader role, bringing more than 13 years of diverse North Texas real estate experience spanning residential listings, land properties, and lease opportunities.
As a former top-producing agent in both transaction count and dollar volume, Lacy understands the day-to-day realities of today’s evolving market. What truly sets her apart is her unique background: she holds a bachelor’s degree in business marketing from Texas A&M University and a master’s degree in education from the University of North Texas. It’s the ultimate combo of marketing savvy and master-level coaching.
Lacy’s leadership philosophy is rooted in her signature “Before, During, and After” approach — a promise that agents and clients alike receive consistent support and advocacy at every stage of the game. Her focus is all about fostering a collaborative, empowered culture where Rockwall agents have every resource they need to see their clients through.
Executive Confidence From the Top
The executive team at Ebby Halliday couldn’t be more thrilled about the future of these offices under this new leadership powerhouse.
“We are absolutely delighted to have both of these dynamic individuals leading key offices,” said Betsy Cameron, president of Ebby Halliday Companies. “Their combined wealth of experience, dedication to the real estate profession, and deep alignment with our company values will ensure our agents are positioned for unprecedented success in today’s evolving market.”
Malinda Howell, senior vice president of brokerage at EHC, echoed that enthusiasm:
“The Prosper, Celina, and Rockwall markets require agile leaders who understand the nuances of fast-paced, highly competitive communities. Both Kris and Lacy combine sophisticated business acumen with a servant-leadership mindset, making them the ideal mentors to guide our seasoned professionals and newly licensed agents into their next chapters of business growth.”
