The #1 Realtor in Fairview, Lucas, and

Parker, for the past 25 consecutive years!

We hope you'll take a look at all of our listings below. We normally don't carry this much inventory this late into the year, but it's the result of the slowdown we all experienced after the February 28th Iran conflict. Some of those homes haven't sold yet; then add to that all of our new listings, and our inventory swells. The first quarter took everyone by surprise, but sales have recovered nicely in this sub-area of the MLS. Surprisingly, our fourth quarter is historically strong, even though we have several holidays in there, so hopefully we'll start to see some of these homes moving.

I want to emphasize this: sellers in this area (FLP) tend to be patient and don't panic when the market slows down. They might tweak their listing price with periodic reductions, but in all the years I've been out here, I've never seen any type of panic selling. This is a very niche area of the MLS, and people know what they have.

State Of Our Real Estate Market

The Conundrum of Pocket Listings

Every year, we sell at least one or two off-market homes, also called "pocket listings". That means we had a signed listing agreement with the seller, but the home never appeared on the MLS, our website, social media, newsletters, postcards, etc. Those are the rules agents are expected to follow for pocket listings.

We can share our pocket listings with other agents in our KW Allen Office because we are all licensed under the same broker. We can also tell our clients or anyone else who reaches out to us about the home, but that's it.

Listing services across the country are hotly debating how pocket listings should be handled as this is being written. Until it's all sorted out, we will continue to adhere to the rules of our MLS.

Since we can't tell you what we have in the way of pocket listings, it's a good idea if you let us know your needs. Then, we might be able to make a match when we get a new one.

Now that I've explained the ground rules about pocket listings, I can tell you we have just listed a fabulous pocket listing home in Fairview. I just saw the pictures, and it's stunning. I'd put it right up there with the finest of homes we've ever sold or seen out here. It's priced in the $4 million range.

We'd love to show the home to you once we have verification of your financial ability to purchase it. Just call our office and let us know you are interested in the new Fairview pocket listing, and we'll take it from there.

Introducing Logan Ford Ranch in Lucas

Chances are, you've never seen Logan Ford Ranch because it's in far East Lucas. Any further east, and you'd be in Lake Lavon, and that's one of the beauties of this development. Nights are dark and quiet; you can look up and see the stars, and traffic is almost non-existent.

Many of the homes in this development are on large tracts and set well back from the roads. Because of that and the large acreage tracts in crop production surrounding the development, you really feel like you're in the country. But you're not; the development is only 5 miles as the crow flies from several million SF of dining, shopping, and entertainment in both Fairview and Allen.

There's nothing else like Logan Ford Ranch in Fairview, Lucas, or Parker, and there never will be again. Living here is leaving the city behind, but it's easy and fast to get to if you desire.

If you'd like to see an aerial video of this wonderful development, click on the picture below or follow This Link. We have just listed a very nice, well-cared-for home in Logan Field Ranch on Ford Rd. It's at the end of a small, two-lane country road with other beautiful homes and zero traffic. You can see the home below or follow This Link.

Winningkoff Rd, Lucas

There are two streets in Lucas known for their big, true estate homes. Winningkoff Rd, shown in This Video is one of them. I'm proud to say we sold most of the properties you see here over the past 25 years.

Like Logan Ford Ranch, these homes are only 5 miles as the crow flies from millions of square feet of dining, shopping, and entertainment in both Allen and Fairview.

Edgewood Estates and Cimarron, Lucas

I'm working my way through Lucas shooting aerial videos of the major developments. Most of these homeowners have probably never seen their neighborhood from the air and have to rely on Google Maps, which is outdated and low-quality.

The remaining neighborhood videos are the only things left before our Lucas page is completed. When we receive an inquiry about a home we have listed in these towns from someone who doesn't know a thing about this lifestyle we enjoy, we like to be able to send them someplace where they can get a little flavor of the town, a short history, and lifestyle. Why people enjoy living here. I'll be starting on our Fairview page when this is completed, and then Parker.

The video below is of Edgewood and Cimarron, located at the corner of Country Club. To see it, you can click This Link or on the picture itself.
