Here are five powerful buying strategies for Dallas real estate buyers! 1. Don't Get "Pre-Qualified!" Get "Pre-Approved" Do you want to get the best house you can for the least amount of money when buying Dallas real estate? Then make sure you are in the strongest negotiating position possible. Price is only one bargaining chip in the negotiations, and not necessarily the most important one. Often other terms, such as the strength of the buyer or the length of escrow, are critical to a seller. In years past, we always recommended that buyers get "pre-qualified" by a lender. This means that you spend a few minutes on the phone with a lender who asks you a few questions. Based on the answers, the lender pronounces you "pre-qualified" and issues a certificate that you can show to a seller....

I wanted to follow up our blog post, Downsizing Your Dallas Home with a reprint on a Money Magazine article from CNNMoney.com, When It's Wise to Downsize. The article discusses the pro and cons of downsizing, pricing in today's market, carrying costs involved and lesions learned from other empty nesters.  Here is the article in its entirety (but don't hesitate to visit the link to the original article to see the interesting graphs):  "(Money Magazine) - Last year Rick and Suzanne Pepin moved from the four-bedroom 3,400-square-foot house in Minneapolis where they lived with their three (now grown) kids to a luxury condo that's a third smaller and offers only a Murphy bed for guests. Still, the couple couldn't be happier. "The location of our old home dictated that we drive to the grocery...

I suppose families in every town across America make a conscious effort to look for activities that they can do together.   Our family has for generations. <<===DALLAS WIND SYMPHONY And one of the first things that quickly moves to the top of the list when trying to choose is what the total cost will be.  This is especially a consideration when the event could be a fine arts performance or series. Big bands and orchestras have been dribbling away a bit at a time since the end of World War II, and classical orchestras, ballets and the like have followed right along.  It all has to do with the cost of salaries for the performers.  Fortunately, this one has some strong sponsors, and that keeps the price of tickets down. So here's a special way to have fun as a family and to experience supe...

Wow! What a game!  Cowboys do it again and look good doing it.  The Rookie, Jones, had some great runs.  Barber drove the game for the boys.  Austin had some great catches.  And, Whitten was there when we needed him.  The Cowboys stayed strong on both offense and defense and really did a great job. Go Cowboys!!!

When you make a mistake handling with integrity or deceit I made a $1,099 mistake completing a contract   NOTE:  One of those days in my office phone is ring 10,000 times, people calling my name every other minute I never could stay focused completing the contract.  Contract executed with my error.     Buyer called questioning the contract after execution, THEN I REALIZED my mistake My buyer were depending on me for the correct figures posted. NOTE:  How I made the error seller concessions,  $45K down payment, determine total sum of loan amount.

Ever since my visit to Ephesus in Plano last month I have been craving more Turkish Food.  The flavors were so wonderful and vibrant that anytime someone says "What are you in the mood for?" my immediate response is Turkish!  Well, time does not always allow for the drive to Plano, so a friend recently suggested that we try Café Istanbul.  And I'm glad he did. Café Istanbul is located in the Inwood Village shopping center at Lovers Lane and Inwood Road in Dallas.  Before we even sat down, I was excited because Café Istanbul has outside patio seating and the day I went there was an unusually cool day, so despite offering an inviting and comfortable dining room, al fresco dining was just the ticket that day! The food at Café Istanbul was delicious.  We began our meal with the Meze Tabagi ...

My very favorite part of the State Fair has always been the food.  I love the rides and being a car nut I always spend time in the Automobile exhibit hall, but first and foremost, when I think of the fair, I think of the food... especially the fried varieties. I wait all year for a Fletcher's Corny Dog (or two) and to find out what new fried concoctions they will come up with.  The Big Tex Choice awards were announced last month and my friend Linda Box Taylor even gave a great run down of this year's new fired food menu additions in her post State Fair of Texas and its list of crazy new fried food!. One of the hardest parts of navigating the Fair is locating all the new fried goodies, so now, for all you State Fairgoers, here's where you can find them... Texas Fried Jelly Beans:   Get ...

This has got to be one of my favorite times of the year in Dallas... from  September 26 through October 19, The 2008 State Fair of Texas will take place at Dallas' Fair Park. Always a ton of fun (and a ton of calories), there's lots to do and see at the fair, and when you are done riding the rides, playing the games, choosing your next car at the auto show and checking out all the agricultural and crafts exhibits, be sure to check out the Chevrolet Main Stage for some great musical entertainment.  Some of this year's featured performers include Rodney Atkins, Kellie Pickler and Jessica Simpson. General admission for the fair is $14 (Children and Seniors are $10) and Self Parking in the official lots is $10. For more details be sure to check out the official Texas State Fair website at w...

I am proud to feature one of Dallas's most creative and prominent wedding photographer, Suki Lee. Suki is a free-lance photographer for the greater Dallas area. Suki's photography really capture the essence of her passion. Each photo that she delivers shows the passion she has for the business. Her style is creative and photo-journalistic. If you are looking for a competitive priced photographer, you NEED to consider Suki. (Just so you know, Suki is my best friend and almost like my sister). My relationship with Suki goes back in our college days. In fact, my husband knows Suki and her assistant (also her husband) over 15 years ago. Hence, we know how Suki works - under-promise and always over-deliver. Suki has a film making major from the University of Oklahoma. Not long after she grad...
