Everywhere you read the headlines are about the struggling economy or the rising in foreclosures and the dip in home prices, but here in the Dallas area luckily we haven't really been hit that hard (Stung is the best word that comes to mind for the Dallas Economy).BUT home buyers are reading these same headlines and they are thinking that our local real estate economy here stinks...So, what that means to you as a seller is that they (the Buyer) is taking their time on making decisions.  My job as Realtor is to help you (The Seller) to get these Buyers to make their mind of on your home (That means a Sold Sign in your yard!)....I live and sell homes in the Richardson area and this is what I've experienced first hand in how sellers can get their home sold quickly and typically for more mo...

Today I met with Saundra Honea, a member of the Richardson BPW, a group I've spoken to about home staging in the past. We had a wonderful lunch at the Chocolate Angel Tea Room & Cafe in Richardson, TX.  If you haven't been there you must. Saundra introduced me to it and it's wonderful!

  Article from The Richardson Today February 2009.   Beginning March 5, the Richardson Fire Department will conduct its 14th Citizens Fire Academy (CFA) class.  The purpose of the CFA class is to make citizens aware of the services and operations of the Richardson Fire Department; to increase fire and life safety awareness and promote a positive image of the department to the community. The intent of the CFA classes is not to train citizen to become firefighters, rather, it's an opportunity to experience first hand what duties and responsibilities firefighters have.    The Citizen Fire Academy is a 10-week program open to persons 18 and older who either live or work in the City of Richardson.  The 10-week class meets one night a week for three hours at the Fire Department Training Cent...

With the inclement weather we had last week, the annual HOA meeting for the Woods of SpringCreek community in Richardson, TX was canceled.  The meeting has been rescheduled for February 12, 2009 at 7-8:30pm. If you cannot come, you must resign a proxy as the previous proxies are now out of date.  Let me know if you need a proxy form, or you can get one from your block captain. I will not be able to attend as I will be out of town on that date, but if you can't make it and have any issues you want to discuss, let me know as I have the direct line to the HOA president. As before, it's being held at Canyon Creek Presbyterian Church at 3901 North Star Rd, Richardson, TX 75082.

Richardson, TX finally put into place a smoking ban that has been a long time in the making.  It started January 1, 2009.  It's a typical smoking ban, not like Plano's complete smoking ban. Something interesting is that the ban specifically says it does not include residential properties, which makes sense since people can do what they want in their home.  However, it bans smoking in homes if you run any type of child or adult daycare or healthy care facility.  That makes sense as others will be constantly in and out of the home. No more smoking at public parks or any city events.  Awesome!  I always end up right in front of or right behind the person smoking and it makes for a miserable time. Places that can have smoking are restaurants and bars who can show more than 70% of their reve...

Starting Wednesday, January 7, the city of Richardson, TX will test their outdoor warning system the first Wednesday of each month at high noon for approximately 30 seconds. This test was running weekly on Wednesdays, and there is no information as to why this was changed to a monthly test, but I'm sure it has something to do with budgets as most things that are cut back these days have to do with money. The system is set to go off whenever there is a Tornado Warning or severe storms with 70+ mph winds.  ALso, if hail is seen at 1.75-2 inches in diameter, the sirens will sound. However, the City of Richardson wants to make it very clear, as well as I do so you don't depend on my blog for warnings, that you might not be able to hear the sirens during an actual event and to make sure you ...

We volunteered at the North Texas Food Bank today!  It was GREAT!  This was our first time to volunteer at the North Texas Food Bank and we sorted and boxed food this morning.  It was a great time and a great cause.  This organization does so much to support 260 agencies. It really makes you appreciate what you have and how just one person can give back and make a difference.  There were about 30 volunteer this morning and we boxed 57,000 pounds of food.  AMAZING! We plan to volunteer on a regular basis to help the North Texas Food Bank reach their goals. Please see their website for volunteer opportunities. http://www.northtexasfoodbank.com/ Mindy & Jay Robbins Robbins Real Estate Group www.TeamRobbins.com 214-563-4584 direct
