arlington tx real estate: Does every member of your family know what to do in a home emergency? - 04/15/12 05:45 AM
 
Does every member of your family know what to do in a home emergency?
 
Early this month when a tornado narrowly missed my home by a quarter mile to the south and east, it got me to thinking about my family’s plan during an even such as this.  In this particular case it was about lunch time on a week day.  My wife was at work, my son was at school, about a half mile down the road, and my infant daughter was at daycare on the other side of the city.  I was in my home office working … (0 comments)

arlington tx real estate: Want to buy a perfect home with zero repairs needed? - 03/30/12 02:42 PM
 
Want to buy a perfect home with zero repairs needed?  Especially with first time homebuyers I find that an inspection report can be overwhelming.  They find a great house, possibly the perfect house for them, and then they see a 15 page inspection report with a 3 page summary of the imperfections.  All of the sudden they realize it’s not the “perfect” house.
 
Sometimes it’s difficult to get across to buyers that every house has it’s imperfections, even new construction.  The inspector, who works for you, is obligated to point out anything that could be improved upon or is … (7 comments)

arlington tx real estate: You accepted an offer while a showing was in progress? - 03/15/12 01:34 PM
 
You accepted an offer while a showing was in progress?  I suppose there are so many variables to consider that it’s hard to criticize.
 
I was showing a property today and my clients knew pretty quickly that this was “the one”.  We stood out in the front yard for a few moments discussing our offer and then I headed back to the office to contact the other agent.  I pulled up the property in the MLS to get some information on the property, and then pulled up a nearby property that had just recently sold.  When I went back … (13 comments)

arlington tx real estate: Hummingbirds feel the drought too. - 08/30/11 03:02 AM
 
Yeah, everybody has heard about the heat and the drought in Texas.  Being a resident of Arlington, I personally can’t wait to move on and it not be the topic of discussion on the news everyday.  But one interesting fact that I saw on the news yesterday concerning the heat and drought was concerning hummingbirds.  There are so many things you don’t think about being affected by drought.  Apparently the hummingbird population here in north Texas is being affected by the shorter supply of flowering plants due to drought.  The news encouraged people to put out their hummingbird feeders and … (2 comments)

arlington tx real estate: Cities of Fort Worth and Arlington now under watering restrictions. - 08/29/11 05:04 AM
 
After 60+ days of 100+ degree temperatures, the Cities of Fort Worth and Arlington have finally implemented lawn watering restrictions.  This is considered Stage 1 restrictions.  There are several restrictions including watering only 2 days a week, restrictions on watering days based on even or odd number street address, and also there is no watering at all on Monday.  We all knew this would be coming since it has been so ridiculously hot for so long now, but it’s just amazing that it is coming so late in the summer.
 

 

 
Luckily, the weather forecast is … (1 comments)

arlington tx real estate: Brighten someone's day today! - 08/25/11 06:13 AM
 
As I’m sitting here with the power having just went off in my house…no TV, no sound at all really, no A/C (in Texas, ugh), I’m thinking back to the conversation I just had with the customer service rep at the power company.  I wanted to report the outage of course, so I gave them a call.  The rep proceeded to tell me she was sorry for the inconvenience and they are working on the problem.  She also said it was due to the severe storms we had last night in our area and it would be several hours until … (0 comments)

arlington tx real estate: What to do in the scorching heat in DFW? - 08/24/11 04:17 AM
 
Call me crazy, but here’s my suggestion.  Go to the Fort Worth Zoo!  Yes, the zoo… in this heat!  My son and I love going to the zoo when it’s this hot.  But you have to do it right… it’s all about strategy.


 
 
 
Go when they open, at 10am.  There are very few people there and it’s not scorching hot yet.  But that’s not it.  For the first hour or so, walk around and see what you want to see.  Go to Texas Wild first because nobody ever goes that direction first.  Everyone goes toward … (4 comments)

arlington tx real estate: Water your lawn more effectively and efficiently - 08/20/11 04:16 PM
 
If your lawn is anything like mine and has a bit of a slope to it, you may see water spilling off the grass and onto the sidewalk or driveway after a period of watering.  As dry as it is here in Texas and many other parts of the country right now, my yard tends to still start to repel water after only 6-7 minutes of watering.  So here is the tip to make sure you are watering effectively and efficiently.


 
 
 
If you water, for example, for 15 minutes at each station, split the time … (5 comments)

arlington tx real estate: IN-N-OUT...not so easy to get in and out in Texas. - 08/13/11 07:53 AM
 
IN-N-OUT Burger has come to Texas.  I’ve yet to try it myself but in the next couple of months a restaurant will be opening in my town here in Arlington, TX.



There are several around me that have opened already but I have no problem being patient.  So this brings me to my question.  When our hometown location opens, do I join all the other crazies and wait in the lines for hours only after battling the police directed traffic, just for another burger.  Is it just another burger?  It seems like any new place that receives … (5 comments)

arlington tx real estate: Sometimes even flood insurance can't save your home. - 08/10/11 10:12 AM
Homes in Arlington, TX which were damaged or destroyed by Tropical Storm Hermine in 2010, and eventually bought out by the city are now being demolished.  What was once a denseneighborhood will now be greenbelt and park area with scattered homes remaining which were originally built with the finished floor elevations at a level which is above the base flood elevation.  We can only wish those remaining home owners luck in the future.
The lesson we learned here and from similar cases across the

country is that flood insurance is a necessity for many properties, however in the end, … (4 comments)
