I heard a rumor....so I went straight to the source!

Stacy Long (Keller-Williams) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 11:09:29 -0700

In this ever-so-kind industry between realtors and builders I hear rumors, rumors, rumors.

Stacy Long (being a bold realtor) had lunch with an executive of Sotherby Homes in the Dallas area. Now being ever-so bold, I went straight to the point.

I shared with her that the realtor community hears rumors that Sotherby is NOT doing well in the industry and that some realtors are NOT bringing their clients to Sotherby in fear they will shut down.

Brazen? I looked her straight in the eye. In turn, SHE looked at ME straight in the eye (That's rare for a builder to look you straight in the eye these days). I truly believe she was telling the truth!

She assured me that Sotherby is NOT bankrupt and is not filing bankruptcy.

She stated that the recent changes in the Sotherby organization are simply a good business move as the new construction industry is so volatile. This change assures them a place in the future of the Dallas market. This family business has been in business for decades and will continue to be in business for many more.

In FACT, the Shaddock family of builders is adding ANOTHER company to the already successful business...Saxony Homes. They will be building green in Frisco off of Teel between Main and Lebanon. The homes will start in the mid 300's. OH MY GOD! An affordable home!

I suggested that the Shaddock Family tell the realtor community and the buyers community that they are doing well. Don't you think this would give this statement more credibility?

I just thought you would find it interesting!

Stacy Long Keller Williams Real Estate Thanks Barb Copeland!

Stacy Long (Keller-Williams) — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 14:33:22 -0700

I want to post a HUGE thank you to Barb Copeland of Drees Homes (972-877-5354 bcopeland@dreeshomes.com)! Long story short...I have been working with these clients for about a year. With the economy and home sales taking a dive they were apprehensive. In January, we finally started moving forward. After meeting and negotiating with several builders, Barb was able to make us the best deal for a new build. She is quite a lady! Very professional, kind...all around lovely person. My clients are building a spectactular home in Waterstone in Frisco, Texas. Spectacular! The negotiations took a while as my clients wanted everything...everything...and Barb was a trooper. Never impatient.

I wish all real estate professionals had this kind of interaction with new home consultants. ADVICE: Build the relationships with the builders, see if they have what your client needs....THEN ask for concessions. Don't walk in asking for the BEST PRICE until you know if they ACTUALLY have what you want. It will save you time, aggravation and MONEY.

Stacy Long (Keller-Williams) — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 14:19:43 -0700

In this market it is hard to give positive feedback...but here is my chance. As a real estate professional we sometimes experience friction when it comes to working with new construction. NOT THIS TIME! I had the pleasure of working with Henry Morales of DRHorton in Frisco, Texas (972-731-0030 hmorales@drhorton.com). What a great experience! We were able make a great deal on a property and acquire financing through DHI for my clients. Smooth, professional, no hard sale. My clients and I left the experience feeling good about the interaction. He is a great sales person with integrity. I appreciate you Henry!

Now that the holidays are coming to a halt it's time to think about our real estate goals for 2008. Part of my action plan is to attend the Keller-Williams Family Reunion in Atlanta.

The Hottest Realtor in Town

Stacy Long (Keller-Williams) — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 17:58:01 -0700

So I have been teased and teased by my peers....ruthlessly....but I am laughing all the way to the bank. I have my own hot sauce (I'm known as "Hot Sauce Girl") and I hand it out instead of my business card. Guess what! It works! People remember me. I must give all of the credit to my friend Richard Segui with Metropolis Lending who came up with the idea. Think outside the box....enough already with Recipe Cards!
