Cindy O'Gorman Shows Off Tony Soprano-style Homes On CNBC.COM, Says Plano is 20 Minutes from DFW?

Is it faster to get to DFW now from Plano over Dallas?
Last Thursday Ebby Halliday agent extraordinaire Cindy O’Gorman was in the national spotlight on CNBC talking about our uber hot real estate market, focusing on Plano, though the spot was teased “we are going to go to Dallas.” Cindy is a mega producing agent — number 33 nationally on the Wall Street Journal’s list, and her group closed $143 million last year, mostly in the Plano/Bent Tree area. She’s got 105 plus listings on her site, mostly in Plano and Frisco, but a good bit on Flower Mound, Southlake, and Preston Hollow. Cindy told The Power House peeps you can get a pretty decent home in Plano for under $100 a square foot, with great schools to boot. Oh, don’t we know it?
The only thing I disagree with Cindy on is her estimate of how far Plano is from downtown Dallas, or even, let’s say, Preston Center. Cindy said Plano is 20 minutes from BOTH DFW and downtown Dallas. We just got back from the airport and right now, it’s a good 30 minutes to/from DFW from north Dallas traveling the mess that is LBJ. That is barring any traffic!
And I disagree that Plano is just 20 minutes from downtown Dallas, again because of the traffic. But Cindy may be right about getting to DFW in 20 minutes from Plano. I mean, I think you can get to Amarillo now faster than you can get to DFW from North Dallas on LBJ.
Here are the three listings Cindy chatted up on CNBC: 2800 Longtown Drive for $374,900, 5737 River Rock Lane at $549,900 and 6901 Crystal Falls at $750,000. I don’t know why she didn’t show this $1.299 million deal at 5108 Silver Lake Drive: they said everything’s bigger in Texas, and have you ever seen such a huge master shower? And do those front windows look like photos in an album to you, too?
Maybe I'm just extremely picky, but it's crazy seeing a listing for $1.299 Million with a burned out ceiling light. I wish folks would put a little more effort behind getting their homes ready for the market.
[Psst: The link in the last paragraph should read 5108 Silver Lake Drive (not 5101).]
Lance, what great eyes you have I did not notice that! You are 110% right, that light bulb should have been replaced prior to taking the photo. Meantime, I fixed up my little mishap, too — thanks for your observations, send more you eagle eyed agent!
She meant 20 minutes by air lol fudge as needed. I'm trying to figure out what the exterior of that white thing looks like. The best I can come up with is a cross between a funeral home and a bank

Candy, Cnbc picked the listings not me. I was surprised they did not showcase the "wow" home on one more expensive homes but they chose them. You can get to downtown in 20 min on the tollway the airport ok your right 25 min.
Well that's a deal!All your listings are wow!
Cindy you were fabulous! What's 10 minutes? If it's like Atlanta, as you know, it depends on the day! Keep it up!

What? 20 minutes no way! Maybe Sunday morning before 5 am. Come on traffic is always a huge factor coming from the North end Plano or Frisco they are the same. Try driving the tollway at 7 am or 5 pm weekdays. 20 minutes is just not the norm during the day. But if I was trying to sell a millon dollar house it would be 15 to 20 minutes.

Yes….if you live in West Plano near the tollway…Dallas is only 20 min. Our house is in Lakeside which is just East of the tollway off of Parker.
