HAVE YOU NOTICED? WE GOT GUSSIED UP! Blogs are just like houses because they can be remodeled and redecorated as often as you like. Well, or as long as your wallet holds out. We have not just been redecorating here, we took CandysDirt.com down to the studs, blew the bank, and found a new partner! Then we went out and bought some shoes to match!

It is with great pleasure that we present a new look for CandysDirt.com– cleaner, bolder, transitional. Same great content, of course, only more of it. Like always, we tell you all about Dallas the Dallas Real Estate world with behind the scenes reporting, profiles, who’s buying, who’s selling, and of course, how much.

Changes you will notice:  we have positioned the blog posts back to the traditional “downward scroll” because we think it’s just easier to read. The site is now optimized for mobile and tablets as well as desktops. Hot Builders and Neighborhoods are off to the right and in direct eye sight. We are now pulling recent comments so you can see what everyone’s saying and totally eavesdrop!

We still have the same page categories to cover everything of quality you need to know  when it comes to Dallas Real Estate.

To do this, we partnered up with a Brooklyn-based company called BlankSlate who specializes in all things media + real estate: brand-building, media, websites, content development, and digital campaigns. BlankSlate is a technology and creative team that forges local connections between brands, businesses, publishers, and audiences. These folks are state-of-the-art:

“In an environment where businesses are now publishing alongside traditional publishers, the need for content creation and ways to deliver it has expanded greatly… but feeding the ‘content beast’ and delivering it well is easier said than done.”

Oh, we have no problem creating content over here at CandysDirt.com. There are a million great real estate stories in the Naked City, and we find every one of them. BlankSlate has partnerships with a number of hyperlocal real estate blogs across the country: they know their stuff and deliver it creatively. One of their partner blogs should sound familiar: Swamplot, out of Houston.

CandysDirt.com is BlankSlate’s first venture into the Dallas residential real estate market.

Bear with us as we tweak the new site and get everything working like clockwork. Today we are getting our ads back up. Let us know if you see any problems. We have so great things to come from this partnership, be sure to sign up to get CandysDirt.com in your mailbox each and every day so you can get the latest DIRT on Dallas real estate news.

    Thanks for bringing back the scroll-down look. You are right, it is much easier to read than the previous format. Keep up the good work.

      You are welcome! I hate sites where you have to jump all over for info, I like to keep it simple!

    The addition of Hagerty, the uber classic car insurer to your sponsors speaks volumes as to the market you serve.

    Wayne Carini’s Chasing Classic Cars on Velocity has good company in this prime sponsor,
