My philosophy of life is to embrace each day with optimism without doom and gloom. The sky is not falling. Children fall down, get up, and they are always on the move, crawling, walking, dancing, and learning to reach for the sky! Kids may play with toys, dolls, and build with blocks. When they grow up many want to buy a home.Denton County currently has a population of 1,036,720 and is projected to grow by 149,497 or 14.7 percent by 2028. The Civilian Labor Force in Denton County grew from 491,799 in January 2019 to the current level over a five year period. Almost 90 people move to Denton County every day! Source: Bobby J. Mitchell, Denton County Commissioner on 9/11/2024  There are a total of four counties in North Texas: Denton, Tarrant, Collin, and Dallas.  A few of the Cities and T...

It's truly incredible to think that twelve years have passed since the day Handsome Hudson was born! I can still vividly recall how he patiently waited to make his entrance into the world until Geno and I returned from our Mediterranean vacation. It was an exhilarating and unforgettable time for our family!I have to credit Sharon Tara for inspiring me to create collages for my grandchildren. I cherished her collages so much that I began crafting them for Hudson when he turned four. I took the time to go back to earlier photos and created a collage for the first three years so we would have one for every year!It's a delightful experience to revisit these memories each year. Witnessing the incredible changes over the years has been nothing short of amazing, and I know many of you have joi...

Never forget the souls we lost in NY or the Soldiers we lost as a result of the tragedy that occurred on American soil on September 11, 2001. This photo I took in Las Colinas, Texas a few years ago. I was on my way to the dentist when this memorial took my breath away. On the actual day the Towers were hit, I was working at Abbott Laboratories in Las Colinas. I saw the second plane crash into the second Tower.T hat was the day figuratively speaking the day the world stopped.  My daughter is working with former Marines who recommended this book to her and she to me. It's a painful story to read but I focus on the good the soldiers learned while serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom 1, Sadr City, Baghdad, April 2003.Words of remembrance from reading the book: We needed to overcome the langua...

Photo Journalism by Patricia Feager Do you ever take the time to look back at the photos you took on your cell phone and wonder what inspired you to take the picture?The feature photo for this blog post was taken at the Texas REALTOR® Conference at Gaylord Texas in Grapevine last month in August. I was on my way to purchase a cup of coffee wondering which direction am I going to get to the coffee shop? So, I paused to look around and other thoughts collied with my wishes for coffee:  Am I on the right path? Am I like a fish swimming upstream or downstream?  Do I need to be refreshed with a cup of coffee?   When I found the center outside of where coffee could be purchased, I found myself on a balcony looked down over the iron railings. Today is Sunday, September 8, 2024. It's funny how ...

Photo Journalism on 9/7/2024 by Patricia Feager It is Saturday morning. Still dark. Waiting for the sun to rise. Yesterday afternoon it rained. We needed the rain in Flower Mound, TX. The grass, trees, and leaves are still green but change is coming. My feature photo was taken at the red stoplight on Fairway Drive waiting to turn to go across the Grapevine Lake bridge and dam. In the distant dark thunderstorms Flower Mound skies a storm was in plain view. It wasn't raining in Grapevine. Not yet... By the time I got to Flower Mound it was raining. The big, long yellow school bus was driving kids home from school. The bus was waiting for the traffic light to change. I was already at the Title Company. It's funny how you don't notice things until you stop and think and see and observe thin...

When I work with homebuyers, I always start with a consultation where we dive into everything—your needs and wants, the current market, the home buying process, and the importance of understanding how brokerage services work including the buyer’s representation agreement.Recently, the National Association of Realtors introduced a new requirement that a buyer’s representation agreement must be signed before I can show you any homes. I understand this might feel a bit daunting.I completely get why some homebuyers might hesitate at this step. It’s important to me that you feel comfortable and confident working with someone you trust to prioritize your best interests. That’s why there’s a short-form Buyer’s Representation Agreement available if you’re not ready to commit to full service jus...
