about us: Confession of a Collin County Housewife | Home Schooling in Texas - 02/15/11 10:51 PM
For those of you reading this that do not know... not only do I call myself a proud McKinney Realtor and Broker, but I also wear several other "hats" that I'm VERY proud of as well. Like : Wife, Sister, Friend and MOM!! I'm mom to Mason (9) and Gavin (3) - the two best gifts God has ever given me....well, of course other than my husband Kevin - OF COURSE! I LOVE those boys more than anything. Seriously...anything. But you know...as MUCH as I love those little dudes, there are those days that I would rather be ANYWHERE but in … (9 comments)

about us: Proud Parent Moment #531 : The Baptism of my Son! - 01/24/11 12:18 AM
As a parent, is there a certain moment in your child's life where you feel like "if they do X then I'll be success"?
For some it may be that you want your child to graduate from college and get a good job. For others maybe it's to be the first in your family to attend college. Or maybe it's as simple as your child staying off of drugs and alcohol. I don't know about you, but for me that moment is when my children accept Christ as their Savior. As a Christian, that moment really defines your life and … (9 comments)

about us: Sell Your Collin County TX Home and SAVE | New 2011 Client Loyalty Programs from d + b real estate! - 01/20/11 09:03 PM
d + b real estate prides itself on being a full-service real estate boutique. We even brand ourselves as a "boutique" because we feel the level of customer service we provide our clients, in addition to our expertise in the markets our agents serve goes beyond the standard "big box" feel of the the larger "chains". However, just because we are a full service brokerage - helping our customers buy, sell or lease real estate - doesn't mean we don't offer a form of savings to our clients. In fact, there are two instances where the Barron-Daugherty team at d + … (1 comments)

about us: Giving Thanks During the Hard Times - Mom Would be Proud - 01/20/11 12:18 AM
Your mom always told you, "If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all." Or maybe that was Bambi...or both? Well, whoever it was, I'm following that advice! It's not always easy for me. Real estate in it's very nature is a complex and stressful animal. If you've ever been involved in a real estate transaction or come within 10 feet of one, you can often times feel the tension radiating from it. I know some really like to get out their frustrations in the form of a long, graphic, verbal rant or blog post. … (11 comments)

It's the first Friday of 2011! How did your first week go?
Mine was the most action-packed, optimistic, productive week of the year. *wink, wink*
No, but seriously...it was the BEST first week EVER. Let's just say, I'm exhausted!

As a proud member of the class of 1999, I never forget to root for my team through thick and thin. Given the fact that … (2 comments)

about us: Today's Blog Post is Brought to you by the Letter "R" - How to Say "REALTOR"! - 01/02/11 04:28 PM
I know I've been writing quite a bit about New Years resolutions lately. After yesterday's post, I thought I was over the subject matter. Until today.
Today I came across this video too funny NOT to share. This video touched on a pet peeve of mine, and was the inspiration behind this very post!
It's not life changing. It won't teach you how to make a million dollars. If you forward this blog to 7 of your friends I can't promise you 7 years of good luck. But it just might help some of you accomplish one of your OWN New Year's … (12 comments)

about us: Dog Parks in McKinney TX | Why I'll Be Seeing YOU at a Dog Park Nearby in 2011! - 12/27/10 04:51 PM
I'll becoming MUCH more acquainted with the dog parks in and around McKinney TX in 2011 all because of THIS GUY...
Meet RANGER!
Santa brought the Daugherty Family a 12-week old British Creme Golden Retriever for Christmas this year! He's soft, cuddly and has TONS of energy (when not sleeping all day like a newborn).
Ranger is not our first dog. In fact, on my 29th birthday, I got THIS guy...
This is Senor Paco. We got this festive Chihuahua when he was just 6 weeks old. Right now he's 5 years old, and weighs just 6 pounds. He also … (6 comments)

about us: A Kodak Moment - The Moment our Nation Changed Forever - 12/17/10 02:56 PM
Active Rain is GREAT at encouraging members to write excellent blog content. One successful way is to offer contests. Yes, most of us in the real estate community are quite competitive. I'm no different. So when I saw the Kodak Moment contest, I knew I had to share the most poignant photo I've ever captured on film. Here is my contest submission:
By itself, this image may not convey a lot of emotion.
By itself, you can't tell that the world as we know it has just changed forever.
But, if you knew that this photo was taken from the top of … (7 comments)

about us: McKinney Spotlight On: McKinney TX Home Inspector Gene South, Texas Property Inspection - 08/10/09 03:00 PM
McKinney Spotlight On McKinney, TX Home Inspector, Gene South
Ask any real estate agent how important it is to have a good home inspector on their team, and they'd agree that a great inspector was worth their weight in GOLD!
When I first encountered Gene South on a home inspection for one of my buyers, I remember thinking as I left,
"Why don't ALL inspectors do as thorough of a job as Gene?
Why aren't ALL inspectors as nice as Gene?
As knowledgeable?
As COMPETENT? etc, etc..."
From that moment on, I have recommended Gene South with Texas … (10 comments)

about us: Your Company's Name & Logo - What's it Mean? (And...Announcing the newest McKinney,TX Real Estate Office...) - 01/05/09 11:25 PM
What's in a logo?
What's in a name?
I'd like to be the first to introduce : d + b real estate! We are McKinney's newest Boutique Real Estate Firm. In starting a new company, the very first thing the owner must address is the company's branding. It's the logo. The look. The feel. It sets the tone of your business. It's permanent. It's significant. And I love mine.
Now I don't know if anyone has ever given a thorough analysis of their company's logo before. Maybe you've never thought about yours before. Maybe you're in the process of creating your own. … (14 comments)
