Southlake Real Estate Blog

We here at Team Hodnett are thrilled to announce that we will be featured on an upcoming episode of House Hunters, the popular HGTV television show.

This show follows home buyers who search for their dream home with the help of a local Realtor.

In our episode, which will air May 26, we help Southlake area home buyers Trish and Ryan Valley find a home for their family of four.

The family, who’s originally from Ottawa, Canada, has some tough decisions to make. While Trish wants to settle in beautiful Keller, Texas, Ryan wants to live closer to the Dallas, Texas area because that’s where his new job is.

In which Texas community will they end up finding their dream home? Tune in to House Hunters at 10 p.m. on May 26 to find out!

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.

A Texas Winter Wonderland!

We had a winter wonderland at my house last Thursday! I have not seen a blizzard in Texas since I was a young child. As the huge snowflakes began to fall about noon, I let all the office staff go home. We are not set up with the proper equipment to drive on ice and snow. It was treacherous by the time I reached the red light in front of my subdivision where I slid right through the intersection. Thankfully there was very little traffic so no damage was done.

A Texas Snowman

I decided to take the rest of the day off to enjoy the weather. When I looked out my dining room window, I had second thoughts. I was not sure I wanted to brave the cold. I am so glad I did. It felt good to get out and act like a kid. After all, it may never snow like that again. A neighbor and her little girl came over to take pictures of the snowman Mike and I built. An avocado skin made great eyes and a friendly smiling mouth. The cowboy hat was the perfect touch for a Texas Snowman! He even had a mustache!

Acting Like Kids

I made about 15 snowballs in anticipation of a fast and furious snowball fight. I lined them up on top of the bushes. Mike and I had a great time dodging snowballs and giggling like kids. It really helped to have my arsenal ready. We even had an avalanche off the roof. The snow was so heavy, my lovely backyard awning collapsed.

Making Memories

What a wonderful afternoon! I have some great memories and I got better acquainted with my neighbors. In this busy world we live in, it is hard to take time to smell the roses. I am one of the worst examples of achieving balance in life. I love my work and it takes priority over my own health, nutrition and exercise not to mention just plain fun like last Thursday.

New Found Priorities!

My mom always told me “If you don’t take care of yourself, no one else will”. It is good to be reminded of that. With renewed motivation I am seeing a nutritionist and a new physician who claims I can feel like a young woman again. I am holding them to that! I know I have to do my part. It will be interesting to see in the next six months how my new commitment plays out! Life is too short. Have some fun and take care of yourselves.
