Dallas, Texas. No. 17 worldwide, No. 8 among U.S. cities, and No. 6 globally for Economics in Oxford Economics’ 2026 Global Cities Index.

The numbers offer perspective. Choosing where to build your life takes a closer look.

On Dallas Curated, I explore how Dallas compares with other U.S. cities and the global top 25—and what those rankings mean when you’re considering a move.

Dallas, Texas. Consider this your weekend game plan. 🏈

Texas–OU weekend is here, and Dallas is ready to play host. From Friday pep rallies to Saturday watch parties and postgame celebrations, there’s plenty of rivalry to go around.

No ticket to the Cotton Bowl? You can still get in on the State Fair fun—and Fletcher’s Corny Dog stand is the place to be at halftime.

Swipe to find your spot, send this to your game-day crew, and pick your side.

A Dallas tradition…worth sharing.

Dallas, Texas has options this weekend.

Four private homes open their doors along Turtle Creek, classical music refuses to behave, and one w**e dinner comes with a little more purpose than usual.

Or pack a bag—we found a reason to break our two-hour rule.

You’ve seen glimpses. I’ve shared pieces. Now I’m ready to properly introduce you. 🤎

Dallas Curated.

Part neighborhood guide, part market intelligence, part love letter to Dallas—and a more thoughtful way to understand where and how to live here.

I created Dallas Curated to bring together the things I’m constantly talking about with clients, friends, and anyone trying to make sense of this city: neighborhoods, homes, market perspective, restaurants, things to do, places worth knowing, and the changes shaping Dallas.

It’s for people moving to Dallas, making a move within Dallas, or simply wanting to know their city a little better.

And it’s only the beginning. More neighborhoods, more local intelligence, more guides, and plenty more Dallas are already on the way.

Discover. Decide. Live Dallas.

A little pink for the first day of October. 🩷

Sharing a few pink houses that caught my eye as we begin Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Thinking of everyone facing breast cancer, celebrating survivors, remembering those we’ve lost, and honoring the people who walk beside them.

Beautiful homes, with a little extra meaning this month.

One acre in Preston Hollow, with room for every part of life: a renovated main house, a guest cottage, and a pool house built for entertaining. The sweeping lawn ties it all together.

Offered at $7,500,000. DM me for details or a private tour.

In case we haven’t properly met, I’m Shay.

I’m a real estate advisor, the founder of Dallas Curated, and someone who has never encountered a detail she considered entirely insignificant.

I notice the awkward floor plan, the generic wording, the slightly wrong shade of ivory, and the restaurant everyone recommends but no one can explain.

Consider this your fair warning.

I ask a lot of questions because I genuinely want to understand what makes something distinct.

“Luxury,” “prestigious,” and “timeless” will not satisfy me. I want to know why this house, this neighborhood, this restaurant, this sentence, or this choice works better than the alternatives.

I’m endlessly curious about how people make decisions—and how the places around us influence the way we live.

Before real estate, I spent nearly 30 years producing executive meetings, global events, conferences, and incentive travel experiences.

It was a career built around logistics, creativity, judgment, and the understanding that the smallest overlooked detail can affect an entire experience.

It taught me to anticipate problems, manage complicated moving parts, and remain calm when the stakes are high.

Today, I advise Dallas buyers and sellers with the same combination of preparation, attention to detail, and calm leadership.

The setting changed. The way I work did not.

SMU brought me to Dallas in 1991—and Dallas became home.

I earned a B.B.A. in Marketing with a minor in Anthropology, an academic combination that makes considerably more sense to me now than it did then.

Marketing taught me to think about why people choose. Anthropology taught me to consider how people, culture, and place shape one another.

That intersection runs through nearly everything I do today: real estate, Dallas Curated, neighborhood storytelling, and my endless desire to understand what makes one place feel different from another.

SMU also gave me an enduring love of college football—even though we could barely win a game during my college years. Now, SMU has arrived, and away games are officially a thing.

Dallas, Texas has officially entered fall-event season—even if the weather is still negotiating.

Big Tex is back, opera turns into a fiesta, and one very familiar Broadway voice is spending Saturday night with the DSO.

Let’s go upstairs.

The bedrooms and parlors at Château de Crémat are furnished with pieces from the Ritz Paris, including furnishings associated with Coco Chanel’s former suite. Walking through them was the part of my June 2023 visit that stayed with me most.

Some places are even more interesting once you step inside.
