In today's Dallas City council meeting it was proposed to have your dog or cat spade or neutered. In recent years there have been lots and lots of dogs and cats rooming the streets and starving to death. They do what they can to survive but some don't make it. It is a sad world we live in especially when it is too late to provide a nice home and good food to these animals. There are not alot of people that can provide for these animals so the unthinkable has to take place. There was a good turn out in favor of passing this new ordinance. It will limit the number of pets you have and it also states you would have to neuter or spay your pet. If you are a breeder then you would have to pay a fee every year. I don't recall the amount. This is the only solution that was proposed to help alle... 06/25/2008

THE GALEN JETER JAZZ ORCHESTRA As the sun was going down Sunday, Patty and I met our friends (our minister and his wife) Clif and Gig Gardner and (famed radio man) Bud Buschardt at the Village Country Club on Southwestern near Skillman, for the barbeque buffet and three hours of music by the famous twenty piece Galen Jeter Orchestra. Galen is a retired biology teacher from the Garland ISD, but he's had one big jazz orchestra or another for thirty-five years.  And while he won't tell you this I will: He was with the famed Woody Herman Band along the way. And he and his guys have played at the Village Country Club most Sunday nights for more than ten years. Galen Jeter, 2nd from left This is the real McCoy.  It's a Kenton-style orchestra -- 5 saxes, 5 trumpets, 5 trombones and 5 rhythm p... 06/23/2008

If you or someone you know are building a new home or replacing an older central A/C unit, one of the key items you need to look at on the replacement unit is the SEER number.SEER is Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. Like gas mileage for a car, the higher the SEER number, the better.Good Morning Texas, a local Dallas morning TV show, reported that 19 SEER A/C units are the most efficient that are available today. The City of Dallas only requires 13 SEER currently, but replacing older units with a 19 SEER unit, proper sizing, checking ducts for leaks, insulating ducts, can reduce the A/C-related PORTION of your electric bill by up to 56%.A/C usage and associated energy in Texas is a HUGE component in electric cost, pollution and ozone.Efficient A/C is a good item to add value if selling ... 06/19/2008

Lake Highlands in Dallas is really a wonderful place to live.  Because I have spent the majority of my life living in large Victorian homes, moving into a neighborhood that has houses that are primarily 25 to 30 years old is a new experience for me.  But I'm growing to like it very much.  Pretty much the late beginning of an Ozzie and Harriet life-style. The other day the doorbell rang.  I was here and getting ready to leave to meet a client at the title company.  I went to the door, and there stood a small fellow -- a grown-up --- but an urchin of a man in a khaki uniform that was a bit on the too large side.  He had a huge smile on his face.  I mean huge and sincere.  It makes me smile just thinking about it. I answered the door, and he told me that he was Charles Dangprasert.  He was... 06/18/2008

Why are Buyers still settling for substandard services when they don't have to?  I'm all about educating and letting people know how things could and should be done.  I got a lead in on my website a couple of days ago.  He marked that he already had a realtor, so I sent back a message asking what kind of services his Realtor offers if he's needing to use another Realtor's site for information.  Part of his response was, "Your updates have been more help than any Realtor in the Dallas area. Thanks again!"  He went on to tell me exactly what he was looking for and asked for my help, so I pulled up a search and let him know he's not going to find anything in our immediate metroplex area that's over an acre that allows horses for under $100k.  By telling me this, I "assumed" this meant that... 06/17/2008

There is a mini-drama playing out here in North Texas.  And before it's over it could get both ugly and costly for drivers. One of the main thoroughfares in the Dallas area is Mockingbird Lane.  Mockingbird Lane (which is named after the state bird of Texas, not after the street that Darrin and Samantha lived on in the TV show Bewitched) is an East-West surface road ranging from 2 to 6 lanes depending on the location. According to news reports, more than 18,000 drivers a day use Mockingbird Lane to cut from East Dallas, through Highland Park to get out to the West side of Dallas.  Well, now Highland Park officials have floated the idea of turning a portion of Mockingbird Lane (the part that runs through their jurisdiction) into a toll road... the first surface street toll road in Americ... 06/14/2008

Thursday, May 22, 2008 How to Make your Home Stand Out in a Stale Market  How to make a seller's home stand outThe biggest problem sellers face is simply a bigger than normal inventory. That means a seller's big challenge today is figuring out how to stand out amidst all those other homes buyers can look at. Sellers need to act like they're in competition with every other home for sale in the area. Because they are. As always, what matters are location, condition and price.A seller can't do anything about improving the appeal of a location-it is what it is.They can, however, put price in their favor. Sellers need to focus on what comparable homes in their area have actually sold for (not listed at). If they're under pressure from a job transfer or expanding family, they should probably ... 06/13/2008
