Hi Chris,

Would love to work with you in building out your new team in DFW. I'm the broker of New Option Realty (www.newoption.com). Check out our web site, and if you're interested, please let me know if there's a good time for us to sit down and chat.

Regards,

J. is correct. In TX, if a broker does dual representation, s/he has to appoint another agent to help with the buyer to avoid conflict of interest. I can see that a busy broker wouldn't want to bother.

LOL - You're too clever!
Very nice meeting everyone last night as well. Thanks to Greg B. for putting this together. Great to see the old faces and meet new ones too!

Hey Jerry Puckett - Thanks!! Hope to see you soon too!

I'll try to be there :). Might bring my husband too since he's running the business side of the brokerage now.

Look forward to it!

Yeah, it's just a bunch of CSV files zipped together. I would email it to you, but it's too big :). I downloaded the 2012 data file from the 1st link: 2012 Data Files without Values (Comma Delimited). You can download any of the other ones.

Then just open them in Excel. Might want to save them as XLS format so you can do more things with it.

Have fun!

Hey Jerry,

Perhaps this might work...

I went here: http://www.dcad.org/DataProducts.aspx, then download their data files. These files are HUGE, but they're in CSV format with all the properties' addresses, legal descriptions, and appraised values etc. You can then find the address based on the legal description from there. If you want to be able to match automatically, you have to write some Excel formula to make the formatting of the legal description you have match what DCAD puts in these files. Hopefully that's doable.

I think most of the districts provides raw data. If not, you can call them and ask for it.

Good luck,
Angie

Usually the Seller is the one that has to provide disclosures on their home, not the buyer's agent. If you're the Seller and need the disclosures, you can just ask your agent. He/she has all of the necessary disclosures (either provided by the state or their association).

We are a flat-fee, a-la-carte brokerage and we provide all the necessary forms to our clients.

Hope that helps.

#36 as well even though I think it can be improved a bit to make the JS2 part easier to spot.

5-6 years is a long time for the buyer to rebuild their credit if that's the reason he wasn't qualified the first time (which is usually the case)...
