I'm obsessed with my new drone

OK Y'all,
I'm going to be obsessed with the drone for a while. It lets me get the angles I've always wanted. That's how sunsets should look!

I love that the police were patrolling the neighborhood at the perfect time to be in the photo.

Testimonial - McKinney


I'm honored that you chose me to help acquire your beautiful home. I knew expectations were high, and I’m happy beyond words that everything moved quickly and smoothly to secure the house you really wanted.

“Mark came highly recommended, and he didn’t disappoint. His expertise coupled with a fast turnaround time in DFW's competitive rental market, allowed me to secure a home that I "really" wanted! I didn’t have to settle!

He was available during the entire process and I appreciated that! I will definitely use Mark again should the need arise.”

Condo Shopping in Big D


A client and I shopped for condos in Downtown Dallas yesterday. If a VA guaranteed loan is an option, ensure the condo property is approved by the VA before looking at it. Otherwise, you’re wasting time (and possibly money). Anyone can verify if the complex is approved or “Not Found” on the VA’s website at no cost.

The first property was The Metropolitan on Main Street. It has excellent views of the Civic Garden and sunset from the west side and an unobstructed view of Main Street on the north side - perfect for people watching. South facing condos can watch the Christmas parade on Commerce St. East facing condos overlook the pool and have a wrap-around view of the Big D skyline from the inside.


The lobby of The Metropolitan is contemporary and has a front desk concierge on duty at all times. The pet-friendly building provides a “lock and leave lifestyle” for residents who want or need the convenience of a property that is managed for extended periods by the staff. No lawn to mow. Security is on duty. Mail and deliveries are accepted by the concierge.

Other amenities include engineering and housekeeping staff, board room, guest suite, theater room, hobby workshop, community lounge, fitness center, laundry, restaurants, nail spa and convenience store.


The Beat Lofts at Southside Station by VSM Development is literally across the street from the DART station and the Dallas Police Administrative headquarters. The north side of the building provides spectacular views of the Dallas Skyline. It has an industrial vibe with exposed duct work, concrete floors and more. The dog-and cat friendly building features a saltwater pool, outdoor kitchen and lounge with a firepit and hot tub. There’s also a fenced dog park next door.

Both of the properties visited were “Approved without conditions” by VA. Others on my clients' short list were “Not Found.” A veteran can choose to get a conventional loan if the property isn’t approved by Veterans Administration (VA). However, it should be the client’s choice rather than a surprise alternative. Details like these are why home buyers who are military veterans should want a REALTOR, who is also a Military Relocation Professional (MRP certified).

Lux Market Watch – July 2022


The luxury market saw all indicators decreased. New Listings have dropped off yet remain higher than closed properties. This means inventory increased in the luxury market. The highest closed property was listed at $9.825 million for an 8 bed, 10.3 bath home with a media room, game room and gym on 4.828 acres in Southlake.

The highest listed price on the MLS remains $43 million for an exquisite 6 bed, 8.3 bath estate with a 10-car garage on 1.84 acres in University Park. It entered the market on 23 May 2022; however, there has been no price improvement.

The Fed raised interest rates .75% again in July. Meanwhile, mortgage rates went from 5.7% at the end of June to 5.3% by the end of July.

There are currently 39 Active luxury lease properties in North Texas with list prices of $10,000 or more per month. The highest listing price for a lease is still a 6 bed, 5.2 bath with a 6-car garage and pool on 2 acres in Flower Mound for $30,000 monthly.
