Rooted in Faith and Family

“It’s all about my faith and my family.”

2005. After raising two healthy, vibrant young boys, Ginger Weeks assumed she was done having children, but God had other plans for her and her future. Thankfully, Ginger had the faith and the openness to listen.

“Life was great, but something was missing,” she reflects. “My boys were in junior high and high school, so we thought we were done having children, but the Lord put it on my heart that we were going to adopt. My husband said we were done as well, but I said we needed to pray about this. I knew this was something the Lord was calling us to do.”

After many prayers, Ginger and her husband received confirmation in their hearts: They were going to adopt a little girl from China. Five and a half years later, their prayers were answered when they brought their baby girl, Gracie Lou Weeks, home.

“She’s a delight and blessing from the Lord,” Ginger smiles.

The story of Ginger adopting her daughter exemplifies Ginger’s deep commitment to her faith and her family. Faith and family drive her daily.

“My faith is the core of my life, personally and in business. When you meet me, you know exactly who I am, what I stand for, and what I believe. My faith is a huge part of who I am,” Ginger says. “And my family — my family is everything to me.”

Country Roots

Ginger was born and raised in Texarkana, Texas. She grew up in the country, riding horses with friends and visiting her extended family’s dairy farm.

“I’m so much a country girl and love the beauty and peacefulness I am blessed to experience. That’s who I am,” she says.

Ginger eventually met her husband, Robert, who is from Texarkana, AR. The couple both worked full-time jobs for the local school district before relocating to McKinney to start a homebuilding business in 2002.

All For Family

Faith and family remain at the center of Ginger’s world. She and her husband, Robert, live on a ranch in Whitesboro, where they raise quarter horses for the discipline of reining. Their sons, Drew and Dustin, are now 33 and 30 with families of their own and have blessed Ginger with five (soon to be six) grandchildren. Ginger’s daughter, Gracie, is now 13. She shows their reining horses, a monthly part of family time. Ginger still enjoys riding horses and is training to show herself. She is active at her church, Prestonwood Baptist Church Prosper campus, and sits on the school board at Prestonwood Christian Academy North, where Gracie attends school.

“We worked for the school system for many years, but we’ve always been entrepreneurial,” Ginger says. “We wanted to venture out on our own, so we partnered with some guys here in the Metroplex to form a small residential construction company, building residential homes in DFW.”

A year later, Ginger got her real estate license so she could sit in model homes for builders. Three years later, she decided to go full time in real estate.

The Arc of Success

Over the next decade, Ginger steadily built her real estate business. She survived the Great Recession in 2008 and thrived in the years following. In 2016, she and husband Robert partnered with RE/MAX and purchased two franchises — one in McKinney and one in Anna. They owned, managed, and led those two franchises for seven years.

In 2022, Ginger took the next step in the evolution of her career, merging with RE/MAX DFW Associates and stepping down from an ownership position. She intends to continue mentoring agents while devoting more time to growing her personal sales business.

Fun fact

Growing up in Texarkana, Texas, Ginger’s parents often told her, “Nothing good comes from Texarkana, AR.” Ironically, Ginger’s husband, Robert, was born and raised on the Arkansas side of town. “Clearly, something good does come from Arkansas,” Ginger laughs.

“It was time to focus more on my real estate business,” Ginger says. “It’s a broader network. It gives us more opportunity.”

As an owner, Ginger loved guiding new agents to success. She believes that to maintain quality service throughout the industry, a seasoned agent like herself has the responsibility to help develop agents. Watching her agents succeed was her greatest pleasure in business.

Still, Ginger understands the time has come for her next transition. In a shifting market and with her business again in transition, she’s excited about the new challenge ahead.

“I’m really excited about being able to grow my business more. I’m all about personal care and attention. I meet people at their point of real estate needs and walk them through that season of their life. For me, it’s not about the deal; it’s about the people.”
