dallas realtor: Dallas Real Estate is HOT again: A Drive-By Showing Story - 06/21/09 11:42 PM
I've been saying the Real Estate market is HOT here in Dallas for weeks now... and I am not talking about the temperature in the high 90's here today! Indications like the return of multiple offers and decreasing property inventories have led me to make such a bold statement with very little hesitation. In fact, my only hesitation would be fear of jinxing it by mentioning the noticeable improvement.
Well today I got another sign of just how nicely things are improving. I took a new listing this weekend (Immaculate Highland Park West Townhouse: 3809 S. Versailles, Dallas 75209 ) and … (7 comments)

dallas realtor: I Lost a Listing After Only a Week... So Why Don't I Feel Bad? - 04/04/09 06:10 PM
Sometimes things happen for a reason. Sometimes the system works against us. And sometimes the system creates the potential for future opportunities.
I lost a listing this week. Someone referred the seller to me. It was a listing that was outside of my "convenience zone" geographically, but it was a Short Sale situation and the person who referred the client to me (and is a source of other business) told him that "Steve is the best Short Sale agent... Don't use anyone else." So, of course, I drove 40 minutes out and took the listing. I also told the sellers that … (15 comments)

dallas realtor: Better late than never! Outlook 2009 & My 15 Minutes of Fame. - 02/21/09 04:43 PM
Back in December, I commented to a client that I was quoted in the Residential Real Estate Outlook for 2009 article in the Dallas Business Journal. I promised that I would post a link from my Blog, but the Dallas Business Journal has a policy of keeping these articles accessible online for “subscribers only” for several weeks. Well, I got caught up in the holidays and a busy January and forgot to go back and post the article once it was publicly available… another tick on the clock of my “15 Minutes of Fame”.
This week my client called me up … (2 comments)

dallas realtor: Good Karma or Good Frozen Yogurt??? I say, “Why decide?” It’s a yummy "WIN-WIN"! - 08/30/08 11:17 PM
Has anyone else been to Orange Cup?
Orange Cup is a new concept frozen yogurt store with what has to be the best, delicious and healthy frozen yogurt my taste buds have ever encountered. Their only current location is on the 2ndlevel of Northpark Mall near Neiman Marcus, but according to their website they have plans to open several more stores this year in the DFW area and Texas.
Besides their incredible all natural nonfat yogurt that has live and active cultures (and their incredible fruit and crunchy toppings), Orange Cup also makes you feel good about their product because they … (4 comments)

dallas realtor: Transit Oriented Developments: A way of life for North Texas and our changing times - 06/12/08 01:23 AM
I'm a big believer in "The Ripple Effect" and I see it all around me.
In fact, my AR blog post was about the Ripple Effect of Foreclosure. Later, I wrote on the Ripple Effect of declining property tax appraisal growth. I have also written posts on the effects of light rail mass transit and Transit Oriented Developments (TOD's) in the Dallas area including Word-a-palooza - Part Deux: A TOD Update and Dallas and Garland - Those TODdling Towns! I see the growing popularity of TOD's as sort of a Ripple Effect of rising gas prices and the more general trend toward a more … (6 comments)

dallas realtor: Is now the time to Buy in Dallas? - 04/30/08 11:46 PM
This is the question I hear more and more frequently. With the national news reporting on real estate crises across the nation it becomes more and more confusing to prospective home buyers in Dallas. The simple fact is that the Dallas housing market, while affected by many of the same factors that are impacting people nationally, is not being impacted anywhere near as significantly.
All real estate markets are LOCAL markets, and basing decisions on NATIONAL information just isn't the smartest way to make a housing related decision, so to help, visit www.dfwhousingfacts.org. See what the experts are saying about our local … (0 comments)

dallas realtor: How tall is your REALTOR? - 01/19/08 11:53 AM
There are some days that I manage to find humor in silly things...
I should begin by specifying that my website has a web statistics feature that allows me to see how people found my website, and if they used a search engine, which keywords or search terms they used to find me.
One of the interesting search trends that I have seen lately is people finding my website using the term "Short Realtor". Now I will admit, I am a Short Sale Specialist, so this is not so far fetched, but I remember thinking when I started seeing this in my … (20 comments)

dallas realtor: What goes up must come down - 01/16/08 09:57 PM
An article in today's newspaper confirms what many local Realtors have long been preaching... that Dallas area home prices are least likely of any nationally to see a decrease in home value. Why is this? Simple actually, because Dallas never saw the double digit home value increases that many other large cities saw in the first part of the decade, we are now not seeing the decreases that many other areas are experiencing.
For several years I was quite jealous of my Dad. He's a Broker in South Florida and has been for nearly 30 years. I have heard him talk about … (4 comments)
