Listen, I’m going to be straight with you because that’s what you deserve. The North Texas housing market just shifted in a way we haven’t seen since 2013, and if you’re not paying attention, you’re missing the play. While everyone else is still talking about last year’s market, I’m watching something extraordinary unfold right now: record price cuts, inventory climbing steadily, and...

Listen, while everyone else is watching headlines about park expansions, I’m tracking something bigger: a $121 million catalyst that’s about to create serious wealth-building opportunities in Dallas real estate. And the clock is ticking. The Klyde Warren Park expansion launching in late 2026 isn’t just another civic improvement project, it’s a strategic inflection point. The $121 Million...
Here’s what most agents won’t tell you about Ross Perot Jr.‘s Landmark development in Denton: this isn’t just another master-planned community, it’s a $10 billion chess move that will fundamentally reshape North Texas real estate dynamics over the next three decades. Let me break down what Landmark by Hillwood actually represents and more importantly, whether this is the right strategic move...
If you’ve been hearing noise about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac lately and wondering “what does this mean for my mortgage?”, you’re asking the right question. Let me cut through the confusion and give you the strategic intelligence that actually matters. What Are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and Why Should You Care? First, the foundation: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the two companies...
The Intelligence You Need Before You Buy Here’s the thing about Texas property taxes that trips up almost every buyer relocating from out of state: no income tax doesn’t mean no taxes. It means the tax burden shifts to property, and in North Texas, we’re talking about some of the highest effective rates in the country. According to the Texas Comptroller, there’s no state property tax, so local...
Here’s the reality most agents won’t tell you: choosing the right neighborhood in North Texas isn’t just about square footage and school districts. The HOA governing your property can determine whether you’re building a dream life or fighting bureaucratic battles for the next decade. I’ve watched buyers stumble into HOA nightmares that could’ve been avoided with proper intelligence...
Most families moving to North Texas make the same mistake: they look at test scores and call it due diligence. When they should be looking at programs that actually prepare kids for careers. In North Texas, a region that’s balancing explosive suburban growth with deep agricultural roots, that means looking at FFA programs. Why This Matters More Than You Think FFA isn’t what it was when your...
Let me hit you with a number that should stop you in your tracks. Dallas County sees approximately 40,000 eviction filings per year, roughly 110 cases per day hitting the Justice of the Peace courts. And while Dallas has seen a slight moderation from recent peaks, Houston and Fort Worth continue to exceed pre-pandemic levels. The underlying affordability crisis driving these numbers hasn’t...
Let me be direct with you: while everyone’s panicking about falling home values across Dallas-Fort Worth, I’m seeing something completely different. I’m seeing opportunity. Zillow’s latest study shows 87% of DFW homes have declined in value over the past year. Dallas down 4.6%. Fort Worth down 3.7%. The typical home in the metroplex now sits at $370,384, the weakest performance since...
Most agents will show you pretty properties. I’ll show you which acreage actually supports what you want to DO. Listen, I have this conversation weekly. Someone calls me and says “We want some land.” I ask “What do you want to do on it?” and they give me a vague answer about “space” and “freedom” and “getting out of the suburbs.” That’s fine. That’s great, actually. But...
