Arbor Manors Neighborhood in Coppell, TX

02-28-12
Bruce Lynn

Arbor Manors is a David Weekley built neighborhood located near the center of Coppell, TX and the corner of Sandy Lake Road and Denton Tap Road. This neighborhood has approximately 80 homes ranging from approximately $500,000 to $800,000 in sales price and building taking place mostly from 2009 to 2012. Lot sizes vary from about 1/5 to 1/2 acre on winding streets lined with old growth trees.

One of my favorite things about this neighborhood is the location, close to shopping, Town Center, the YMCA, the library and all three excellent schools in Coppell ISD. It is also one of the newer neighborhoods in Coppell, where residential construction is nearly finished.

Coppell is still a small town to me. It's easy to drive from one city in the Metroplex to another and not really be able to tell the difference. I think Coppell is different as there are only about 40,000 residents. You see the same people at the post office, school events, charity events, and the grocery store. There's still a 4th of July parade. I also like that in this small town, people still care. They care about their kids, their schools, their churches, and their city government. The town is friendly and clean with very limited commercial development near neighborhoods and no manufacturing. Building codes are strict and enforced. Nearly every neighborhood has a Home Owner's Association which helps keep yards, homes, and fences looking tidy.

If you can't find the right home for sale in Arbor Manors, you might also consider Alexander Court, Magnolia Park, Georgian Place, or Copperstone among others.

If you have questions about this neighborhood or any neighborhood in Coppell, please give Bruce Lynn a call at 214-675-6992. We would love to help you buy the right home here.

We offer full service, worldwide relocation services to corporate, government, and individuals moving to or from the DFW Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex Texas area. Click here to get your relocation move started now.
Overview:
Having made several corporate moves with my family both domestically and internationally, I know how stressful relocation can be. My team and I strive to make the experience as smooth, seemless, and faster than possible. We are also finding that corporate moves are often providing less benefits than in the past and that we have to work harder to make the move successful for all the stakeholders. Most of all we know your benefits are a valuable resource to you and your family and we do everything we can to protect and maximize the benefits for which you are eligible. Some people wait for the relocation company or counselor to assign an agent, but why wait for the bureaucracy. Call Bruce Lynn first at 214-675-6992, drop me an email at rb@teamlynn.com, or fill out our priority form and we will get working on your move immediately. Nearly all relocation companies will allow YOU to control the agent you choose. You do not need to use the one buyer agent they assign to you or one of the two assigned to list your home. Take action and tell your counselor that Bruce Lynn at Keller Williams Realty is your choice of agent. They will normally allow you to choose any agent, even if we were not initially signed to your move.

Top Ten Cool & Unique Buys in DFW for December 2011

Bruce Lynn

Each month we post the Top Ten Cool and Unique Buys we've found for sale in the DFW Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex.  There are normally a variety of styles, ages, sizes, and prices.  Some have unique locations, some are historic renovations, some are contemporary, some are just down right cool homes.  Sometimes they're great investment properties.  Sometimes they're great family homes.  Sometimes they have acreage.  They often move very fast due to being a top find, so if you are interested in one of these properties, please call us immediately.  The phones are often busy, so if we don't answer, leave us a voicemail and we'll call you back.

Check back each month for our latest finds .  If what you need isn't listed here, send me an email at rb@@@@teamlynn.com or call me at 214-675-6992 and we will set up a search specifically to meet your needs.  That way you can beat other buyers to the best properties. You might notice at times there are more than TEN best buys.  That's just one way we add value for our clients.  We always try to meet, but beat your expectations.  Most realtors hate unique homes, I thrive on them, so if you are looking for a unique home, call me first and we'll do our best to find you the right home for your needs.

If you have a unique home and need to sell and your favorite realtor is walking your home saying "Oh my", give them the Donald Trump "You're fired" and hire me.  You want to hear "WOW", "Cool", and "Awesome" from the realtor who will sell your home.  Plus you home can be featured here and exposed to buyers who don't want a tract home.

2011 Property Tax Rates for the DFW Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex Area

12-09-11
Bruce Lynn

Many buyers ask me about tax rates for different cities and counties. Now at my teamlynn.com website you can find a link to many of the city and county tax rates for the DFW Metroplex area. Just click on DFW Property Tax Rates to download this .pdf courtesy of Republic Title.

My advice is don't always focus on the cities with the lowest tax rates. That may not be the best pick for appreciation, quality of schools, quality of services, etc. You should factor into your home buying decision much more than tax rates.

One thing to consider is transfer fees and HOA fees. Some master planned communities now have transfer fees when you sell a home. I've never seen a list of HOA fees that different communities charge, but if you come across one for the North Texas area please drop me an email.

While some people from other states think our property tax rates are high, remember our home values may be lower and we are one of two states with no state income tax. Checkout the artcle in Tierre Grande -"High Tax Anxiety" We raise our taxes through property taxes here in Texas. The lowest property tax rates in the DFW area are approximately 2% of the appraised value of your home, while the highest are approximately 3%. There are exemptions discounts in some areas if you use the home as your personal residence and is your homestead, if you are over 65, or a disable veteran.

As always if you are thinking of moving to the DFW Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex are, please give me a call and feel free to search the North Texas MLS by clicking one the the links.
