DFWAshley - Ashley Cox, Dallas Realtor | Dallas Metroplex Real Estate

Do you find yourself as the new kid on the block? Hopefully, you found an opportunity to speak with your potential neighbors before purchasing your new home, but now that you’re moved in it’s time to branch out and meet people. Even extroverts might find this unappealing, but it’s not as overwhel...

Moving. A word that still invokes dread in me. You don't realize how much stuff you have amassed until it's time to pack it all up and hit the road to your new space. But if you’ve moved a time or two, you get your systems down, and once you know how to handle each portion of the moving process, ...

It's surely not another Snowmageddon (a la 2013), but some chilly temps are here in the Metroplex. You should take care that during freezing weather unfurnished homes need a little extra TLC. Make sure you are lightly running taps, opening cabinets on outside walls and covering outside faucets, i...

I'm not much of a resolution girl. So, I think this is going to be my promise for next year — to be resolute. The definition of the word is “admirably purposeful, determined, unwavering.” That’s something I can get behind! I feel like with a lot of the stress of this last year, it was incredibly ...

Thanksgiving came and went. Christmas is kaput. You've decided to list your Dallas area home for sale, but you aren't quite sold on the idea of doing it in Winter. Well, no need to wait! This time of year is one of the best times to list. Want to know why? Money Matters So why should you list you...

Last night, I had the opportunity to meet with another individual that was interested in starting the home buying process. I love these coffee meet-ups, since so many people have misunderstandings, reservations and questions about how to get started and what to look for.  I really take pride in w...
