"My husband and I have known Larry for several years and have used his service on 2 occassions, both as a seller and a buyer. I cannot see us ever using anyone else; his years of experiance, knowledge of real estate and of the Metroplex Market Area are only surpassed by his committment to meet the goals of his client.
Between the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new home; Larry has probably saved us well over $15,000 through his knowledge and expertise.
Next on our list... selling our rent house; and yes, we will be using Larry once again.
Thanks for your help!! "
Response: "I throughly enjoyed working with Eddy & Ashie in the selection of their new home; and, I appreciate being a part of their purchase transaction. I look forward to working with them in the future when it's time to sell their rent house." This review has been confirmed by the reviewer.

What year did you become a real estate agent?
1986
How many years have you been in Real Estate?
23 years in real estate, 8 years as a Real Estate Broker. I hold a BBA in Real Estate/Finance and 4
What is the average home price in your market?
$175,000
Are there any new developments or trends in your area?
Currently, foreclosures tend to be the big seller due to pricing and very motivated seller's. Many buyer's are capitalizing with Huge Savings, significant Tax Benefits and immediate Front-End Equity.
Why do you enjoy being a real estate agent?
1st Time Home Buyer's. Being etched in the memory of that 1st home, being apart of the emotions and memories that transform a house into a home.
What is the most challenging issue you face as a Real Estate Professional?
Mortgage Lending. During a "Boom" market loan underwriters cannot keep up with the demand, during a "Bust" market....they run and hide. Regardless of the economic market, lending is always the major challenge.
Tell us one of your client success stories or an interesting moment in your profession.
Recently, a young couple with 2 small children and years of being apartment dweller's contracted to buy a bank foreclosure at a price of $88,000. As 1st Time Homebuyer's, strapped for cash, full nervous energy, questions and concerns; they were ecstatic when the lender's appraiser valued the property at $143,000 in the current market... some $55,000 below current appraised value (a 40% Savings).
This young couple bought a 2200 Sq. Ft. home with an in-ground pool and picked up $55,000 in Front-End Equity.
What is your best characteristic?
Patience and Understanding. Remember, what is just another piece of paper to the professionals involved in completing the real estate transaction may represent the largest single purchase expenditure or the largest single asset sale to a buyer or seller.
Who or what inspires you the most?
1st Time Homebuyers. Being a part of the memory that turns a house into a home.
What is the best advice you ever received?
It's not what you make, but rather what you save that makes you rich.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
The DFW Metroplex... home of the Dallas Cowboys "America's Team"... the Dallas Marvericks (Go Derk!!)... the Fort Worth Stockyards... great Employment Opportunities and Salaries... a Low Cost of Living... Warm Weather... and an International Airport. Who could ask for anything more??
