We Love Referrals in Denton County and all of North Texas

This is a question I get far too often, and I should have addressed here publicly long ago. I make no bones about it1 I concentrate on the buying and selling real estate in Denton County. Concentrating on Highland Village, Lewisville, Corinth, Little Elm, and all points in between within Denton County. I even work on the fringes of Grapevine and Saginaw which are in Tarrant County Texas. I believe this best allows me to provide superior service to those I represent.

How some agents waste your time and theirs with Open Houses

September 10, 2009
Keller Williams Open House Direction

Now if that headline got your attention let me say I am a fan of the open house / broker’s open when done properly. My issue is how a lot of real estate agents go about preparing for an open house. It it is a common belief among sellers and many real estate agents that a open house is really just another way for the agent holding it open to get new buyer prospects or customers more than an opportunity to actually sell the house they are sitting open. It does not have to be this way.

Staging a Home with Silk Flowers Adds Color

Preparing for a first date is unlike anything else. For first dates, we shave, iron, do our hair, put on cologne or perfume, and dress to the nines. On a first date, we do everything we can to make sure that the relationship isn’t doomed before it begins.

Selling a home is like that. When you sell your home, you should dress it so that it looks its best and so that buyers fall in love with it.

Monetizing the Tax Credit for a Down Payment: Clear as Mud

June 1, 2009
Government Down Payment Assistance

Ever since the May 12th announcement from HUD1 that the $8000 First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit was going to be able to be used as a down payment I believe there has been more misconceptions, ill conceived speculation, and just down-right misinformed banter from those in the real estate industry and future home buyers alike.
