Southlake Real Estate Blog

As many of you know, I often co-hosted a real estate segment on KVCE am 1160 with regular host Willie Lambright.

During our hour-long segment on Mondays, we usually address topics affecting the Dallas-Fort Worth, Keller and Southlake real estate markets.

For instance, during one of our most recent segments, we discussed the 100 down program for HUD foreclosures, investment opportunities versus the stock market and the dangers of selling a home For Sale By Owner.

But recently we got together to discuss a different cause: keeping the homeless warm during the holiday season.

Continue reading to learn more about this worthy cause and how you can help as a Southlake Texas home owner.

Unless you’re a young family with small children, it behooves you to invest in a Keller area home with a master bedroom downstairs.

This modern layout makes for an easier resale because of all the benefits it provides to interested home buyers down the road:

• Separation from teenage children who may make a lot of noise
• Avoidance of the need to walk up and down stairs everyday, especially as residents get older and start having more health problems.
• And more!

Check out the video below to learn more about the added benefits of having a downstairs master bedroom.

Finding a cure for Breast Cancer is dear to my heart, not only because I am a woman, but because so many strong, brave women have had to face the horrible disease-one that IF caught early enough, has a strong possibility of being beaten. Part of the fund-raising I enjoy getting my Southlake Texas real estate team involved with is encouraging knowledge, awareness, and confidence in men and women world wide to step up and BEAT Breast Cancer.

This event  started with Happy Hour at The Dinghy Bar & Grill, newly opened by nationally recognized restaurateur,  Dee Lincoln.  The sunset cruise took place aboard the Chamonix II Catamaran, with Captain Mike McMahon at the stern.  This all-inclusive affair encouraged great fun and all enjoyed a beautiful evening among business leaders in the greater Keller area.  Admission fee was $25 per person which included cruise, 2 drink tickets and catering by Sonny Bryan’s Smokehouse.  Approximately 100 guest attended the sunset cruise.

We set sail about 7:15 on Thursday,  June 24th.  We returned promptly at 10:00 pm. Laughter, singing and dancing were enjoyed by all. I spent a good portion of the evening getting to know Suzanne and Steve Johnson. Suzanne is the hamber president. We discussed upcoming events that will be sponsored by the Chamber of Keller.   Rhonda Seyfreid is the events and activities specialist at Keller Chamber of Commerce.  She did a fabulous job as well.

All are encouraged to attend one of the Keller Chamber Events! I had a great time and made some wonderful contacts there. I may even sell one of my waterfronts as a result of this event!
