I grew up in Plano and think of myself as a "Local Real Estate Economist" who is eager to help answer questions regarding your specific needs about the area. I was a cheerleader and LOVED the energy of our amazing Panther fans (and all over Plano-ites) during all sporting events but nothing compared to the "East vs. West" football games where the city was divided in support of each team. I current
ly live here and have such passion and love for this city. Plano has easily become the center of the Dallas area with all the retail and employment opportunities that some of the biggest name companies have brought to this city. Plano is more accessible to commute about and be a home-owner than Dallas which is why we have reached a record high of more than 222,030 full-time residents. Our growing town now offers almost the same experiences of the big city without the same hustle and bustle. We have a dedicated performing arts commission, historical district, ranches, and major industrial complexes that enliven this much more relaxed town. If you are relocating to the area, wanting a change scenery, have a question regarding the area, or have real estate needs, let me know as I would love to be your personal tour guide from one of Plano's very own veterans and residents.
