So Is Texas Ranger Derek Holland’s House Really On The Market or What? How About Candie Evans?

By Candy Evans / February 20, 2013 /

Few months ago, I wrote up 11040 Tibbs, right down the street from me, gorgeous 5696 square foot home built in 2009. The property started as a lot attached to the home next door, who then sold and parceled off the .70 acres. It has five bedrooms, five and a half baths, four living areas, a beautiful outdoor living area with waterfall and pool, 21 foot ceilings, hand-scraped wood flooring, travertine tile, granite counters, chef’s kitchen with abundance of storage, master with sitting area with walk in closet that wraps around to a study with shelves.. I said that Holland picked up this number for $935,000 — a home run!

I expect more great things from Clay Stapp & Associates in the coming year.

Tuesday Two Hundred: At The Intersection of Location and Value, You’ll Find This Adorable Ross Ave. Townhome

By Joanna England / November 20, 2012 /

The Ross Avenue area is on its way up, at least that’s what all of the developers investing in mid-rises and empty lots think about the long stretch that takes folks out of downtown and into East Dallas. It wasn’t too long ago that the stretch of Ross that borders North Central Expressway and the…

Do Dallas Realtors Need a Reality Check on Their Ads? (And Are Ads Worth It When It’s All About Bargains?)

By Candy Evans / September 5, 2012 /

I about died when I saw this Realtor ad on AOL Real Estate — of course it’s from a Canadian firm. The Canuks can just get away with more than we can when it comes to billboard advertising. Or can they? So I started thinking back to local ads I’ve seen from our Dallas agents.…
