Sometimes it pays to listen to the recorded messages that sometimes come to your phones. I happen to be home this morning on the first day of school-I thought that would be the most important thing that happened today but, perhaps not. I learned by listening today that our town has an emergency dialing program and they were verifying it this morning.

If you happen to live in Plano, TX or Collin county and didn't get a phone message today about the Code RED program you can get your number or any other numbers on the list by going to the website:

http://www.colincountytx.gov Go to the bottom of the page and look to the right for a button that says CODE RED. Follow the instructions from there.

Happy First day of school and stay safe!

Home Page? My Page Check it? We are very excited to announce the release of the new company website. Everything you can hope for or need to use to find a property in North Texas is all right here. Plus we added some cool links- Check the map searches, (I personally love the map searches) the "for kids" link is fun and the calculators are right on the pages. So we are now very customer friendly and having a lot of fun on the back creating some extra pages for the public to enjoy.

If you are a North Texas agent, please check out the "NEWS" link where you will find updates on the power networking lunches held on Wednesday's. If you see something you like just call and speak with our Managing Broker, Ivy Boland. 972-208-9200 She likes to invite our friend's to lunch and learn at the Wednesday Power lunches.

I am bubbling just a little bit, some of the photos on the home page came right out of my camera! I think half of the fun of a new website is the anticipation of all of the great tools we can offer to new customers, plus hopefully all of the new leads from people starting to get serious about finding a home in the Dallas Suburbs. The "Hot Market" falls in the summer here, which is the exact opporsite of my time in Florida when more homes were sold in "season" November to April-ish. We might have counted ourselves unlucky in Real Estate in Texas, awhile back when everyone else's markets were going great guns but, our time has come around-we are now one of two "top selling markets in the country. Dallas area and Houston are the "good deal areas". Now I'm glad I got that license here, too!

So if you are in a buying frame of mind-c'mon give me a call and let's make a deal for you.

What a blessing came to Plano early in April. We are lucky to have Children's Medical center open right at Hedgecoxe and Preston Road on the SW corner. They have had offices on the SE corner for quite awhile and those will be occupied by some of the doctors practicing at Children's.

Our children may very well be safer because of this step. So we want to say welcome to the neighborhood!

There are currently as of today 61 properties that are available with a foreclosure classification. These Properties range from 72,000 to 3,442,900.

The 72,000 is a 3/2 with a 2 car gar square ftg is 1335

The 3,442,900 is a 5/5 with a 2 car gar sq ftg is 12,278

While we're seeing a slight increase in foreclosures it has not dramatically affected sales prices. I just thought it might be fun to see the two extremes in this market. Please call if you would like to walk either property or the others.
