Building the Future Since 2002

From our roots in Decatur, Wise County, Texas, to clients across 31 states and 3 countries—this is the story of building what hasn't been built and dominating local search for 14+ years.

Where It All Began

In 2002, Corey Spicer was working in real estate when he had a simple question:

"What if someone could tour a house without ever leaving their couch?"

This was years before smartphones. Years before virtual reality headsets. Years before anyone was talking about "immersive experiences."

But Corey didn't wait for the technology to catch up. He built it himself.

That first virtual home tour wasn't just a cool experiment. It was the first of its kind—ever. And it was just the beginning of a journey that would eventually reach clients across 31+ states and 3 countries.

"I don't wait for someone else to build what I need. I build it myself." — Corey Spicer, Founder

A History of Industry Firsts

Over 20 years of innovation and pioneering

The Beginning (2002)

Started pioneering digital experiences while still in real estate. Began asking "what if?" and building the answers.

The Verizon Era (2004-2008)

Joined 2020 Companies and helped build the infrastructure for Verizon FiOS's national rollout. The company grew to over $500 million in valuation.

First Virtual Home Tour (2008)

Created the first-ever virtual real estate tour. But that wasn't enough—also built a rudimentary chatbot that could answer questions about the house, and used NFC stickers so in-person visitors could scan and learn about unique features. This was cutting-edge technology that wouldn't become mainstream for another decade.

"Corey's knowledge of all things IT is incredible and he is always willing to give me guidance when I need help." — Verified Google Review

First Arena Seat Preview (2010)

Partnered with the American Airlines Center in Dallas to create the first arena seat preview system. Fans could see their exact view before buying tickets. Yes, that project involved Mark Cuban.

First Museum Virtual Tour (2011)

Created one of the first interactive museum virtual tours, pioneering how cultural institutions could share their collections with the world.

First Virtual E-Commerce Store (2012)

Built a virtual storefront where customers could walk through a store, click on products, watch videos about them, and purchase—all from a virtual tour. This was 7 years before COVID made virtual shopping mainstream, and 11 years before Apple Vision Pro.

First Cloud Real Estate Brokerage (2014)

Helped create Ready Real Estate, the first virtual cloud-based real estate brokerage.

From Small Town Texas to the World

ThinkMents planted its roots in Decatur, Wise County, Texas over 14 years ago—a small town where handshakes still mean something and your word is your bond. We are the authentic experts of local search.

We never planned to go national. We just kept solving problems and delivering results. Word spread. Referrals came. Before we knew it, we were serving clients across the country and beyond.

Today, we work with businesses in:

  • 77 cities across Texas
  • 31+ states across the U.S.
  • 3 countries worldwide

Most marketing agencies will tell you: "Don't work with people in your own city. It causes conflicts." We completely disagree. We love being the guys you can find locally. When we sit across the desk from a client in our Decatur office, we tell them:

"You always know where to find us if we do something wrong."

We don't hide behind anonymous support tickets. We are accountable to our community. No matter how many states or countries we serve, we still answer our phones and we still believe that a handshake in a small town means something.

Our Core Beliefs

The principles that drive everything we do

Results Over Activity

We don't measure success by how busy we are. We measure it by the impact we create for your business.
