DENTAL SPECIALIST IN FRISCO TEXAS

DENTAL SPECIALIST IN FRISCO TEXAS
I had the unfortunate need of a dental specialist in Frisco, Texas, this week. I don't wish this on anyone else, but most of us will have such a need at some time in our lives.
Frisco Texas DentistMy dental adventure started with a visit to my regular family dentist, Dr. Dominic Nuosce at Frisco Family Dentistry. I had been having some pain in a tooth. Dr. Nuosce had warned me on a previous visit that I would eventually need a crown on that tooth. and that the tooth would "talk to me" when it had gone as far as it could.
The tooth started talking to me loud and clear a few days ago. I got in to see Dr. Nuosce, and he said I needed a ROOT CANAL. I have never had a ROOT CANAL before, but have heard awful things about them. Phrases like "I would rather have a root canal than ...(enter something unpleasant) entered my mind."
Dr. Nuosce referred me to a dental specialist in Frisco, Texas, for the root canal.
I saw the specialist, Dr. Micah L. Porter, D.D.S. of The Endodonic Group, Inc. yesterday. I told Dr. Porter I had never had a root canal before, but had always heard it was one of the most painful experiences possible for mankind. He laughed, and told me I would hardly feel any pain at all.
An hour later, Dr. Porter had finished the root canal, and sent me on my way with a packet of prescription strength Motrin to take every 6 hours for 24 hours. I was surprised that the worst part of the procedure was the injections to numb the area, and those were not bad at all. Dr. Porter told me if I experienced any unusual pain to call him anytime, day or night. That was comforting.
A couple of hours later, after the numbing agent had worn off, there was NO PAIN. I even accepted a dinner invitation from friends, and was able to enjoy the evening.
Now, a day later, there is still no pain. I have conquered a major fear in my life - the once dreaded root canal.
Although I hope I will never need to see a dental specialist in Frisco, Texas, again, if I do, I know an endodontist who will take great care of me - Dr. Micah L. Porter, D.D.S., of The Endodonic Group, Inc. in Frisco, Texas.

TOWNHOUSE FOR LEASE IN PLANO TEXAS

TOWNHOUSE FOR LEASE IN PLANO TEXAS
I have been talking by email to a potential new client for the past month. His apartment lease expires soon, and he wants to lease a two bedroom townhouse in Plano, Texas. His budget is $1200 a month for rent. I have him on a prospect gateway that automatically sends him new listings.
Why do I want this new client who is looking for a $1200 a month townhouse for lease in Plano Texas?
Plano, TX TownhouseHe asked me yesterday if I would show him one of the townhomes that is available in Plano. Although the one he asked to see has 3 bedrooms and is listed for $1350 a month, I decided to show it to him since it is vacant and is similar to what we could expect to find in a typical townhouse for lease in Plano, Texas. It would give him an idea of what the market is like in the area.
The showing went well. The Plano townhouse was in great condition.
I told this young man that there were two bedroom townhouses in Plano, Texas that come on the market from time-to-time, and can be leased for $1200-$1400 a month. He said he would call me when one pops up on his prospect gateway. I will keep in touch with him.
I fully expect I will eventually lease him a townhouse in Plano, Texas. and my commission from the transaction will be about $350.
Is this client worth the effort for a potential commission of $350?
Yes! I will give him the same great level of service he would get if he was buying a home.
My experience tells me that some lease clients turn into purchase clients.
Plus, I'm sure this young man has friends and family. If I give him outstanding service, maybe, just maybe, he will tell them about me. I want to serve him, his friends, and his family for the next several years, and I will tell him that.
So that is why I want this lease client, and will work hard to find him just the right townhouse for lease in Plano, Texas.

THE MARINE AND THE CHRISTMAS TREE

THE MARINE AND THE CHRISTMAS TREE
Christmas Tree
A few months ago I had the honor of serving Mike, a man in his mid-twenties who recently had been discharged from the Marines. He was an Iraq War veteran. His wife was quiet and left the talking and decision making to him. Their two young daughters were with them. They had been living in an apartment in San Diego, and he had accepted a job here in the Frisco, Texas area.
My mission was to find these first-time buyers a Frisco, Texas home.
The first item on the agenda was to find out what they were looking for in a home. Over the course of a conversation in my office their wants and needs emerged: 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a game room suitable for a pool table. A location close to an elementary school was also important. Nothing unusual for a young family.
I did a quick mls search and found three homes in Frisco to show them that afternoon. The homes showed well. All were in great neighborhoods, and each was close to one of Frisco's exemplary rated schools. Mike and his wife looked closely at all three homes, but none of them were "just right." Mike spent a lot of time checking out the front part of each house - looking out the front windows. We made plans to go looking again 3 days later.
The next time out, Mike again spent time at the first house checking out the area by the front windows, so I asked him, "what are you looking for?"
His answer surprised me. "I want a good place for a Christmas Tree-a big Christmas Tree!" Wow. I had not expected that answer from this young Marine, but it was powerful knowledge for me to have.
Later, we came upon a home that had a front dining room with a bay window. Mike and I visually measured the bay-area for a Christmas tree. It would work, we both concluded. The rest of the house met their needs, and it is now their home.
The lesson for me? Pay close attention to my clients when showing them homes. All of their wants and needs may not be spoken during the initial meeting, but they will be communicated in some way as we spend time together. And even battle-hardened Marines have soft spots in their hearts.
I look forward to driving by Mike's home this holiday season to see his Christmas tree lights shining brightly in the front window of his family's Frisco home. Semper Fi, Mike.

FRISCO TEXAS BABY BOOMER'S RETIREMENT PLANS

Gary Williams Frisco Texas Homes For Sale
FRISCO, TEXAS BABY BOOMERS RETIREMENT PLANS
Retired CoupleThe baby boomer generation, born between 1946 and 1964, revealed some of their retirement plans in a recent article published in the Dallas Morning News. The article presents information from an AP-LifeGoesStrong poll conducted October 5-12, 2011.
The poll found that boomers listed as extremely important or very important the followng :
  • Living in a home that is all on one level-46%.
  • Living close to their children-50%.
  • Being close to medical care-39% of poll respondents.
  • Being close to shops and services-38%.

How can the baby boomers' needs be met in Frisco, Texas?

As a Realtor, I can use the resources available to me to locate one story homes, including those at Frisco Lakes by Del Webb, an age 55+ community.
There are two medical centers in Frisco - Baylor Medical Center Frisco and Centennial Medical Center. Minutes away in Plano, TX are three medical centers, including the Baylor Heart Hospital. Several major medical centers are located in nearby Dallas, including Baylor University Medical Center.
The needs of just about anyone, regardless of age, can be met by the shops and services available in the Frisco area.
What about living close to your children? If your adult children are like mine they may be drawn to relocate to the Frisco/North Texas area by our strong economy, just as mine did when I moved here after completing my first career a few years ago. If not, the area is well-served by DFW International Airport, and Dallas Love Field.
Frisco, Texas is a great place for baby boomers to enjoy the second half of their lives.
