DFW Real Estate Weekly

Should you buy first… or sell first? It sounds like a simple question, but if you get it wrong, it can lead to serious stress, financial strain, or even a total nightmare scenario.

In this episode, Todd breaks down one of the most common (and most important) questions in real estate: How do you successfully buy and sell a home at the same time?

Because the reality is, this isn’t just a transaction. It’s your home, your finances, yo...

Did the recent Texas elections actually do anything to lower property taxes?

Short answer: not yet.

Todd breaks down what just happened in the latest elections and what it really means for homeowners in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. There’s been a lot of conversation (and frustration) around rising property taxes across Texas, especially as home values have increased over the past several years.

So naturally, a lot of people are...

Spring is almost here and that means the real estate market is about to get busy.

Todd is off enjoying vacation with his family, so the rest of the crew jumps in to talk about what home buyers and sellers need to be thinking about as we head into the spring and summer market. A lot of people believe the old rule: “You buy and sell homes in the spring.”

But while spring and summer are busy seasons, the reality is a lot more nuanced ...

Todd’s out on vacation this week, but the show must go on.

Ian is stepping in to host DFW Real Estate Weekly, and the crew is diving into something most people don’t realize has a big impact on the housing market: Daylight Saving Time.

It might sound like a small thing, but the shift in daylight actually changes how buyers shop for homes and how sellers experience the market, especially here in DFW.

When the clocks move forward and...

Where exactly is Lake Highlands… and why do so many people love living there?

Lake Highlands has a personality all its own. It’s technically in the city of Dallas, but it’s served by Richardson Independent School District, which surprises a lot of buyers. It also sits on higher ground just north of White Rock Lake, giving the area rolling terrain, big mature trees, and some of the most interesting landscapes you’ll find inside the D...

Today’s topic: the scullery.

If you’ve never heard that word before, you’re not alone. Is it a prep kitchen? A butler’s pantry? A catering kitchen? Maybe a little bit of all of the above.

Today we are breaking down why this feature is trending in larger homes and creative ways homeowners can add one without building a massive custom home.

We also talk about something we believe strongly about when it comes to real estate:

Your home sho...

Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on something people don’t usually say out loud: RELOCATION COMPANIES.

If you’re moving to Dallas-Fort Worth because your company is relocating you, or if you know someone who is, this is a must-watch episode.

On paper, relocation packages look amazing. Movers paid for. Temporary housing covered. Extra cash incentives. It feels like your company is rolling out the red carpet. But here’s the hard...

With spring break right around the corner, we’re answering a big question:

We’re talking about the most frustrating, costly, and surprisingly common mistakes real estate agents make and how those mistakes can seriously harm their own clients.

We cover lots of issues but the biggest issue of all: agents who treat real estate like a side hustle instead of a profession. The truth is, small mistakes can have massive financial consequences when you’re buying or selling a home.

Our goal is to help you understand ...

Grapevine, Texas is one of the most overlooked, and most surprising, places to live in the entire Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.

We are breaking down what makes Grapevine such a unique spot. From the historic downtown, wineries, and food hall… to Grapevine Lake, incredible parks, and easy access to DFW Airport, this city offers a lifestyle that a lot of people don’t fully appreciate until they experience it.

We also talk about what i...

What’s the biggest mistake people make when buying homes on land?

They treat them like normal neighborhood houses.

We are breaking down the massive, consequential mistakes buyers make when purchasing acreage, small land properties, or big backyard homes, mistakes that don’t show up… until six months later. Or until the next monsoon hits.

This conversation was sparked by a massive Texas downpour.

Watching water pour across roads, to...

What if the biggest thing standing between you and your real estate goals… is you?

In this episode, we dive into the mindset mistakes, bad assumptions, and “popular thinking” that quietly sabotage buyers and sellers every day.

We’re not talking about interest rates.

We’re not talking about bad weather.

We’re talking about the dangerous thinking that costs people thousands or keeps them from moving at all.

We're talking:

• “I want t...

Today we’re talking about something that really matters if you love land, own land, or dream about owning a big backyard property: Seasonality for homes on small acreage (½ acre to 5+ acres) in DFW.

Most people assume real estate seasonality is simple - spring and summer are hot, fall and winter are slow. But does that hold true for homes on land?

The truth? Homes on land follow a similar seasonal bell curve as traditional home, bu...

This week we’re tackling what sounds like a boring topic… but could make or save you a LOT of money: seasonality in the residential real estate market.

Most people think real estate = spring and summer. Buy when school’s out. Sell when the flowers bloom. Wait until the weather’s nice.

But is that actually the smartest move?

Here’s the big takeaway: There’s nothing wrong with buying or selling in peak season… unless you’re doing it ...
