Who we are · Fort Worth, since 2016
Creating homes. Building community. Real estate with soul.
6th Ave Homes is Fort Worth’s one-stop-shop: real estate, interior design, in-house drafting, construction, and pool & outdoor, all under one roof. We buy, sell, design, and build the home that feels like you.
Why we exist
We’re on a mission to make real estate easier, more accessible, and more enjoyable than ever: a true one-stop-shop, and a curated team of experts who provide real quality, value, and service.
What we do
Everything a home needs, under one roof
We created the one-stop-shop for buying, selling, designing, and building, so you don’t have to stitch together a separate agent, designer, draftsman, and builder to bring one vision to life. Use the whole journey, or just the step you need.
Buying & Selling
Full-service real estate agents for buyers and sellers: first-time buyers, move-up sellers, listings, and luxury & historic homes across Fort Worth and North Texas.
Interior Design & Floor Plans
In-house interior design and permit-ready architectural floor plans: renovation design, space planning, finishes, and 3D renderings.
Renovations & New Builds
Kitchen and bath remodels, whole-home renovations, additions, garage apartments, and custom homes built from the ground up.
Pool & Outdoor
Pools, outdoor kitchens, covered patios, and outdoor living that finishes the home.

Design & construction
The crew that builds it
Our designers, our drafting team, and our construction crew are all in-house, from the first sketch to the final walk-through. These are the people who will be in your house.
Why we do it
A home is the backdrop for a whole life. We don’t take that lightly.
From the first showing to the cork-popping moment on the front porch, we get to be part of the biggest decisions a family makes. That’s the soul behind the work.
How it started
It started by a happy accident
Two best friends and neighbors bought an abandoned foreclosure on their street in Fairmount and brought it back to life. They shared every step online, the house sold fast, so they bought another. And another.
What started as two neighbors fixing up one old house grew into a brokerage, a design studio, a drafting table, and a construction crew: the one-stop-shop they wished existed when they were figuring it out themselves. Thousands of families later, the whole story is worth the read.

The founders
A former country-rock musician and a former Fort Worth detective: two best friends who think a home is worth doing right.
Jamey Ice and Jimmy Williams: lifelong best friends, neighbors, and business partners. They started 6th Ave Homes because they believe buying, building, and selling a home should be relational, not stuffy.
What we believe
The values we actually run on
Not a poster in the break room: the lines we hire by, build by, and answer the phone by.
What we’re about
We are faithful to the idea of restoration. It is the heart behind all we do.
We are deeply committed to the peace and prosperity of our city.
We value people and principles over profits, but caring for people only happens with profit.
We believe faith and family come first, and we will always create margin for both.
How we work
We take “Extreme Ownership” for both the success and failure of any project we’re tasked with.
We practice the art of “Prioritize and Execute”: all things are not of equal importance.
We are a team of leaders and problem solvers, never bringing a problem without solutions.
We believe being clear is kind, and communicate with “Radical Candor”.
A lack of communication is a lack of performance.
We reject the status quo and encourage innovation.
How we grow
We are fanatical about having fun while we work, and don’t take ourselves too seriously.
We are fans of feedback. Mistakes are opportunities to grow.
We keep our team small and curated, always partnering with and rewarding the right people.
We are passionate about daily growing stronger, smarter, and more selfless.
Homes are sacred. From the houses we restore to the people we get to know, we try to leave everything better than we found it.
That’s what we mean by real estate with soul
Don’t take our word for it
