Small Business Feature:
Delacy Howell Realty
As Batesville celebrates Small Business Month, it’s important to recognize the businesses that are helping shape the future of our community—one relationship at a time. A newer addition to the historic square, Delacy Howell Realty, is already making a meaningful impact across North Mississippi through its people-first approach to real estate.
More Than Real Estate—A Commitment to Community
Owned by Delacy Howell, the business may be just barely five months into its downtown Batesville presence, but its reach and vision extend far beyond the square.
“At Delacy Howell Realty, we proudly serve buyers and sellers across North Mississippi, including Batesville, Oxford, Sardis, Panola County, Tate County, and surrounding areas,” Howell shared. “Our passion is helping people through one of the biggest decisions of their lives while building lasting relationships along the way.”
That perspective shapes every interaction. “We believe real estate is more than buying and selling homes—it’s about serving our community, supporting local families, and helping people find a place to call home.”
Growing with Purpose
Even in its early stages, Delacy Howell Realty is experiencing exciting growth—while staying grounded in its core values.
“One of the most exciting things happening at Delacy Howell Realty is the continued growth of our team and the vision we have for serving North Mississippi in a bigger way,” Howell explained. “We’ve recently expanded our office presence in downtown Batesville and are continuing to build a strong team of agents who truly care about people and our community.”
The company is also embracing innovative strategies to better serve clients. “We’re focusing heavily on modern marketing strategies, social media exposure, video content, and local SEO to better showcase our listings and connect with buyers moving into the area.”
Despite this growth, their mission remains clear: “It’s exciting to see our company growing while still keeping the small-town relationships and personal service that matter most to us.”
A Personalized Experience Clients Appreciate
Clients consistently point to the personal touch as what sets Delacy Howell Realty apart.
“Customers love that Delacy Howell Realty offers a personal, relationship-focused experience rather than making clients feel like just another transaction,” Howell said. “Our clients know we genuinely care about their families, goals, and future—not just closing a deal.”
This approach is backed by strong communication and local expertise. “They also value our deep knowledge of the North Mississippi market, creative marketing strategies, and the way our team works hard to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.”
“Most importantly,” Howell added, “people love that they feel welcomed, supported, and treated like family from start to finish.”
Behind the Scenes: Dedication and Detail
While many see the final result—a “sold” sign or closing photo—the real work often happens out of sight.
“At Delacy Howell Realty, there is so much happening behind the scenes to make sure every client receives the best experience possible,” Howell explained. “From carefully marketing each listing and staying on top of contracts, deadlines, and communication… we work hard to provide a high level of professionalism and service.”
“Every phone call, showing, document, social media post, and late-night conversation is handled with dedication and attention to detail,” she said. “We understand that buying or selling a home is one of the biggest moments in a person’s life.”
There’s also a strong sense of teamwork and heart behind the business. “While most people see the closing photos and ‘sold’ signs, they don’t always see the countless hours spent helping clients navigate tough decisions… and being a source of encouragement during stressful moments.”
Building Relationships That Last
At its core, Delacy Howell Realty is built on connection.
“Our business is built on relationships, community involvement, and genuinely caring for people—not just real estate transactions,” Howell shared. “We truly celebrate with our clients during the exciting moments and walk alongside them through the challenging ones too.”
