There is an alarming trend among many buyers of real estate these days. We're seeing more and more people who want to "place bids" rather than to "make offers" on a home. Real estate is not eBay. While some real estate is sold in an auction format, the vast majority of sales are not. I realize that in some markets buyers are in full control given the volume of short sales and foreclosures, but in many places the markets are balanced and in some places there are seller's markets. In the north Dallas suburbs, there is a severe shortage of good properties under $150k. Last weekend I was out with some first time homebuyers who had been looking for weeks. We found a home the first day it was on the market. By day 3 there were multiple offers and my clients actually had to offer more than li...

Welcome to Tranquility Farms This custom home community in Fairvew was designed with more than a piece of paper, a pen and a bunch of capital.  It was built with heart.  While every home is gorgeous and provides all the amenities you could think of, it’s the small details that make all the difference; the green spaces that encourage you to venture outdoors, the lights out policy that enables you to gaze at the starry sky, the friendly facades that make it more likely that you’d know your neighbors… Read more at our blog...

If you currently live in the Town of Fairview Texas, (or if you live nearby in Allen, Parker, or Lucas) you may already be aware of the signs of growth that are coming your way with the widening of Stacy Road from Highway 5 to FM 1378/Country Club Road.  The Texas Department of Transportation has completed the environmental clearance and is beginning to buy the rights-of-way to complete the road.  You can see the current plan schematic to see where the proposed changes will be. For more details you can view the progress here or contact TXDOT’s area office in McKinney, TX.

I'm so excited to have seen the awesome talent of the Lovejoy Lady Leopards Volleyball team last night!  They won 3 straight sets to move on to the Regional Finals today.  I just heard that their victory today was just as impressive. Next step?  They will return next weekend for their 4th straight Championship Finals.  It's important to note that they have won 3 State Titles in the 3-A Division in a row.  If they win next weekend, they will be setting a State Record by winning 4 in a row!  Oh....and did I mention that they have won those Championships each year of their Varsity eligibility?  That makes it even more impressive!       GO, LADY LEOPARDS, GO!!!!!!!!!!!

I was just about to share an ad from the Village shopping center in Allen/Fairview promoting the arrival of Santa when I noticed that the entire ad omitted the mention of Christmas.  You know....the holiday that puts the MOST MONEY in their pocket during the entire year!  They can say "holiday" all they want.  It's free speech, right?  However, Santa is ONLY associated with Christmas!  If you want to profit from the Big Guy, get his story straight, retailers! The older I get, the more it has begun to bother me that not only are retailers advertising gift giving earlier and earlier this year. (what happened to Thanksgiving?!!) But, they are also attempting to take a very important holiday (their biggest money maker, remember) away from me.  I resent that!  And you know what? I am exercis...

To get organized for back to school rule number one is do not wait until the last minute. Organization for this time of year is a process. Kids not only need the school supplies and the clothes to return to school in but they also need the return of any structure that has been permitted to slip. Most grown ups need this too in order to get the kids off to school on time.   Waiting until the last possible moment may seem like it's allowing your kids as much freedom as the can handle. In reality, the opposite effect often happens. Instead of enjoying the extra time in the summer the sudden halt and return to school schedules can become immediately ground shaking. Start at the beginning of the previous month and school time becomes an easier transition.   Bed time is one of the areas where...

  A short sale sounds like it should be an easy, quick fix to your mortgage problems. However, that's not necessarily how it works. The idea is to offer you an alternative to the process of bankruptcy and foreclosure. Neither of those options is very suitable for most people so the arrangements that create things like short sales might be a better alternative to such drastic actions.   Basically, this type of sale has nothing to do with how long it takes to sell your home or property. It is called a short sale because the sale produces funds that falls short of the actual value of the home. This is a method of paying off the lender in a time efficient manner. Of course, this also means that the lender has to be willing to make a legal arrangement that releases you from the remainder of ...

  The use of technology in selling homes has allowed for faster home sales and often higher first offers. First and foremost, technology speeds up the process. It allows buyers to enter search criteria into a focused search engine that outlines their requirements. This brings the relevant homes for sale right to the buyers' computers. Once they have their criteria narrowed down they can then move forth with the selection process.   If a buyer wishes to see only 4 bedroom homes within a certain price range, the use of technology in selling homes means that they no longer have to take the time to flip through marketing papers or call a realtor and take a single tour at a time. This naturally helps the seller because there are more qualified and interested buyers taking up their showing ti...
