Dear Homeowner,

Occasionally, I am asked "Why would someone want to use a Realtor who is also a Professional Builder?"  It is a good question; one that deserves an answer. 

Here are five good  reasons to let us work for you, if you are a Seller:

     1.  First, Paul Billingsly and Randy Loving comprise two of the most capable agents in this area.  Listing and Selling homes in the Lucas, Fairview, Parker and surrounding areas are two things they do very well.

     2. We are getting more of our listings SOLD than any other Realtor in this area. And they are SELLING for a fair market price.  It's a fact...in the last year, we have SOLD the highest priced house (the only house $1M+ in Oakwood Estates, Fairview) in more than 2 years.  Incidentally, it is also a home that we built 8 years ago! AND, we have produced the SALE of the highest priced lot in Oakwood Estates, Fairview) during that same time period.

Instead of making an issue out of how many listings we have, we want you to focus on how many listings we have SOLD!

     3.  In addition to our builder/developer hats, we are well qualified as "stand alone" Realtors.  With more than 35 years experience in the "home" industry, we bring a unique perspective to the prospect of house buying/selling.   Our combined experience, this web site, our listings on REALTOR.com, our membership in the Collin County Association of Realtors, The Texas Association of Realtors, and the National Association of Realtors makes us a good choice.

     4.  Other Realtors recognize and trust us in this market niche.  Having worked over 30 years developing working relationships with many of the top agents in Plano, Allen, McKinney, Fairview, Lucas, and Parker, they automatically think of us when they have a client looking for something in the Lovejoy ISD (Lucas & Fairview), or Parker. Sometimes they call us just to get advice, sometimes they ask us to help them find what they are looking for.  Either way, we are in touch with the other agents that are getting the job done in our market.

    5.  Being developers and homebuilders give us an insight into "what else is going on" in this market (i.e. new subdivisions, land prices, and other variables) that might dramatically affect the value of the listing or purchase that you are contemplating.  A complete understanding of the "big picture" might alter the way you go about making your move.

Here are five good  reasons to let us work for you, if you are a Buyer:

     1.  As professional Realtors® we insist on working with Buyers who sign a Residential Buyer/Tenant Representation Agreement.  This form accomplishes several things including:  For you the Buyer, it allows us to legally and ethically put our knowledge to work for you, represent you, and look out for your best interest-...all the while insisting that the Sellers pay the commissions involved in the transaction-which is standard and customary.  So, instead of both brokers working for the Seller (which they are obligated by law to do unless the Rep Agreement is in place) you actually have an advocate in the market place looking out for you, the Buyer, yet it costs you nothing!  Another reason, we stay plenty busy devoting our time to those who are sincerely looking to buy, and we can't afford to spend our time with those who can't make that commitment.  To do so would diminish the quality of service we give to those who do.  It makes for a win/win.

     2.   We have been working the Lovejoy ISD market longer than anyone else.  We KNOW it!

      3.    All of our agents are professional, knowledgeable of this market, and recognize trends when they develop.  We encourage "digging" in, and knowing what is going on-and it shows in their performance.  Further, we insist on the highest ethical standards.  Also, we promote further continuing education.  If we don't know an answer to your question, we will always go find out what you need to know.  It might cause us to lose a deal, but we will never knowingly mislead, or omit pertinent facts just to make a sale.  You have our promise on this.

     4.    We are qualified to help you with issues that might arise during the purchasing process.  Many times, other real estate practitioners contact us with issues that need addressing concerning the inspection process after a home is contracted for.  Having been home specialists in this market for 30 years, many times, in reference to a home that we have built, in a subdivision that we have developed, we are called in to explain, identify, and answer questions for Buyers.  That being said, we are keenly aware of any construction issues, Restrictive Covenants, City Codes, or other issues that only a builder/developer might know.  Again, this works to the Buyer's benefit.

     5.   Finally, and maybe most importantly, being homebuilders and  developers give us a keen insight into "what else is going on" in this market (i.e. new subdivisions, land prices, and other variables) that might dramatically affect the value of the listing or purchase that you are contemplating.  We are connected to the other builders and developers-and are able to communicate to them in their language.  A complete understanding of the "big picture" might alter the way you go about making your move.  Again, this works to the Buyer's benefit.

We're convinced that no one can help you better to either find that "right" property, or to sell an existing property.  And you will be, too!

You can trust us to be your Realtors!
