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.

September 4, 2009
Texas Home Interest Rates Below 5%

Below is a commentary from CNBC on September 3, 2009 pointing at that historically speaking when the interest rates fall below 5% the Home Buyers comes out to play, and in a big way. The Fall selling season we are entering needs this; but as this story also points out when rates drop as they did last Spring it shows an increase in mortgage applications, not necessarily people buying homes.

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.

Buyer Beware: When Considering a Short-Sale and your Tax Credit

June 29, 2009
