                                                                        By Dallas Realtor Bill Cherry For me it was like old home week as a good representation of my past and present filtered through Charley's Beauty Salon last Wednesday. Barbara was under one of those bullet-shaped dryers that I thought had gone the way of Alice Faye. Sophie came in under the pretext of arranging her next appointment, but I'm fairly sure that higher on her priority list was stopping in to say, hi. She still has the wonderful head of hair she had when she taught in a junior high school at least 45 years ago. And Dick was trying to convince anyone who'd listen that, although he'd just come from a vigorous workout at the gym, he couldn't possibly smell bad.  After all, he'd changed shirts and that should ...

           Next Sunday, September 16, the famous Galen Jeter Jazz Orchestra will resume its weekly concerts at Dallas' Village Country Club.  This is very definitely big band music at its best.  I've been a fan for years, even though I've never once been asked to sit in on piano.          Galen, a retired high school biology teacher, has been running a big band for thirty years.  He was the founder of the Dallas Jazz Orchestra, and led it for many years before he formed his own.Along with Marvin Stamm and Sparky Koerner, Galen is one of Leon Breeden's most noted former trumpet students.  Mr. Breeden is, without argument from anyone, the most famous professor of jazz music who has ever lived.Now as an aside, every jazz horn lover on the planet reveres the trumpet of Maynard Ferguson, who...

This is hilarious... there is no copyright information on where it came from, so if someone reads this and claims, I will more than happily recognize you.Driving in Dallas,TexasFirst you must learn to pronounce the city name. It is DAL-LUS, or DAA-LIS depending on if you live inside or outside LBJ Freeway.Next, if your Mapsco is more than a few weeks old, throw it out and buy a new one. If in Denton County and your Mapsco is one-day-old, then it is already obsolete. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere.  (Frisco has screwed everything up.)Dallas has its own version of traffic rules...   "Hold on and pray." There is no such thing as a dangerous high-speed chase in Dallas . We all drive like that.All directions start with, "Get on Beltline," which has no beginning and no end. (I...

                                                                         INTRODUCTION You don't need to tell me that this is an over-worked subject.  What's interesting, though, is that most of what's been written has been by youngsters who have only been in the business for a short time or journalist who dream up a list so they'll have a story.Go through my list.  You will, no doubt, find redundancies, but you will also probably find some things you haven't heard or read before.  So here we go!Be Sure It Has Curb CharismaI've found that the majority of buyers would fit my mother's definition of impatient. They think they need to make a decision fast. If their first view of the outside of your house doesn't impress them, more often than not, they won't want to see the inside. Make sure ...

I don't think I've told you the interesting story of Hyman Goldman.Before he became Hyman Goldman, he was a sheva boy living in Russia. I don't know as I ever heard what his Russian name was.Sheva is the Hebrew word that means seven. "Sitting sheva" is a Jewish custom whereby the family and friends take turns thanking God for the life of the recently departed, and they do it continually for seven days. So sometimes young men from the nearby Hebrew school are hired to sit sheva for a family when, for some reason, the family and friends can't fit the whole regimen into their schedules. Other than go to school to study his religion, that's what Hyman did.When he was 20, Hyman fell in love with Annie, they married and they fled Russia in a hay wagon for Poland. Soon they were immigrated to ...

Seller Flat fee Dallas Real Estate Contact our office further info.  visit our website Lynn911.com Dallas Flat fee MLS (sometimes referred to as "flat rate mls" or "fixed fee mls") refers to the practice in the Dallas real estate industry of placing pertinent information about a property for sale into the database of the local Multiple Listing Service (Dallas MLS) for a set fee or dollar amount as opposed to a commission based on the sales price of the property. In this instance, the Listing contract between the Dallas real estate broker and the property owner typically requires the broker to enter the property into the Dallas MLS and calls for the seller to pay the broker a flat fee for the service. The net effect is to make the real estate industry's standard MLS available as a market...

Why is everyone so Sue-Happy?  When did our society turn into a society where you can sue someone just because you're unhappy with something?  I think it started with the hot coffee spilling in the lap and the massive reward outcome that came with it.  Since then, it's lawsuit after lawsuit.This blog is inspired by all the Q&A questions with people asking if they can sue the Seller for this and can they sue the Seller for that and can they also sue the Inspector for this and that.We all know that with home ownership, comes responsibility... at least every home owner should understand that.  With home ownership, comes maintenance.  When something goes wrong, you fix it.  You don't search for someone to blame so you can sue them because something went wrong under your ownership.Take a car...
