Clear to close came a few days before closing!

The absolute smoothest transaction I've ever had and the agent was a joy to work with.

May every future transaction be this smooth!

Imagine decorating YOUR house for Christmas this year.

If buying a home has been on your mind, now is the time to start the conversation. You may be closer than you think and there’s still time to make a move before the holidays.

Let’s talk about what buying could look like for you.

Tarrant County has been out here quietly making history.

- Stadium nachos in Arlington.
- A baking mix created by a Fort Worth woman.
- Early commercial chili powder.
- Mrs. Baird's Bread.
- And the first nonstop flight around the world taking off from Fort Worth.

Somehow I've lived in DFW all this time and didn't know any of this.

Which one surprised you the most?

Save this for your next DFW trivia night.

Just because you're approved for $500K doesn't mean you should buy a $500K house.

Your approval tells you what you may qualify for.

But before we start looking at homes, I want to know something else: What monthly payment actually feels comfortable for YOUR life?

Because the payment isn't just about the sales price.

Property taxes.
Homeowners insurance.
HOA fees.
MUD/PID assessments, if applicable.
Maintenance and repairs.

And then there is everything outside of the house.

Daycare. Cars. Travel. Savings. Debt. Eating out. Kids' activities. LIFE.

There is nothing wrong with buying at the top of your approval if the numbers truly work for you. But you shouldn't feel like you HAVE to spend it just because you qualified for it.

The goal is not to buy the most expensive house the lender will approve.

The goal is to buy a home you love with a payment you can comfortably live with.

The countdown is finally over.

Hudson House is officially open in Southlake and I’m happy to have one so close!

If you’re planning to go, make those reservations early. You can book through OpenTable and the prime times are already filling up.

They’re known for the World’s Coldest Martini, Frozen Peach Bellini, signature cheeseburger, East Coast oysters and lobster roll. And yes, the salads too.

The kitchen is beautiful. The backyard is perfect. You can already see your furniture in it.

Now check these 5 things before you fall in love with the house:

1. Property taxes + insurance Know what the home may actually cost you every month.

2. Schools If schools matter to you, research the assigned schools, district and boundaries for yourself.

3. Crime and safety information Review current public data from local law enforcement or other reliable sources and decide what matters to you.

4. Shopping, commute and your daily routine How far are you from work, school, daycare, groceries, restaurants and the places you actually use every week?

5. The neighborhood and HOA Review the rules and fees if there is an HOA, and drive the neighborhood at different times of day.

It is easy to get attached to a house. My job is to help you slow down long enough to make sure the home works for your life too.

Cajun food is back in Colleyville! We went last night and the food was pretty good, but the service was great. They have new owners, more menu options and it’s still BYOB. I love me some seafood, so I’m glad to see this familiar spot get a fresh start.

Colleyville, TX 76034

Monday through Saturday: 11 AM to 8 PM

If I had ONE Saturday in Southlake, this is exactly how I’d spend it.

Start with a layered doughnut at Parlor Doughnuts, let the kids play at Bicentennial Park, grab lunch at Whistle Britches, spend the afternoon shopping Southlake Town Square and finish with something sweet at D’Caramel Patisserie.

A little something for the kids and a little something for Mom.

Save this for your next Saturday in Southlake.

The house is $400K. That does NOT mean the only number you need to think about is the down payment.

Depending on your loan and contract, you may also need to plan for:

1. Down payment
3% = $12,000
3.5% = $14,000
5% = $20,000
20% = $80,000

2. Earnest money
Negotiated in the contract and generally credited toward the transaction at closing.

3. Option fee
In Texas, the fee and number of option days are negotiated.

4. Inspection
The cost depends on the home and what inspections you order.

+ Appraisal
The fee varies by lender and loan.

5. Closing costs + prepaids
This can include lender fees, title-related charges, insurance, prepaid interest and escrow funding depending on your transaction.

6. And one people forget: MONEY LEFT AFTER CLOSING. Moving, utilities, repairs and life do not stop because you bought a house.

You do not necessarily need 20% down and every buyer's numbers will look different. Before you start shopping, let's look at the whole picture so you know what to expect.
