#Frisco

Back in 2018, we finally made it to the most-famous site of #sanfranciscocity and although the #goldengatebridge is located a litte bit outside, a walk to this place is one of the best things you can do when being there. Every single step was worth this view!

Golden Gate Bridge spans across a calm blue bay, supported by two red towers under a clear sky. Hills are visible in the background beyond the bridge.

#sanfranciscocity and its bay are also the gate to the famous prison island of #Alcatraz, also known as #TheRock. Not active anymore in today’s times (at least not yet but there's Alligator Alcatraz in Florida though), there are lots of myths around this famous place that are worth listening to!

Buyer Advice – How To Choose An Agent

 

The first rule of choosing an agent when buying a new home is to use an agent that is an expert on the neighborhood in which you are interested in buying.

What makes Ebby agents experts is their knowledge of current and past trends on the sale and purchase of all different types of homes in a given community (e.g. Plano townhomesDallas single-family homesFort Worth condos, etc.), in addition to knowing all the local facts relevant to your home selection. That means they are aware of community information, schools, taxes, how to check about local crime and happenings.

They also have knowledge of the home market in the community. What is the typical sales price for a home? How much does the type of home you are looking for typically cost? Your Ebby agent will be able to give you a breakdown of homes in your price range and where they are located.

The key to an expert agent being able to service you well is his or her communications skills. They will do a lot of listening and ask a few key questions. An effective agent needs to understand your current financial situation, and your needs for purchasing a home.

It is important to remember that good communication is a two-way street. You need to be open and honest with an agent to save both you and them time and effort. If you aren’t looking to buy for an extended period of time (3 months or longer), be upfront about that. Also be upfront about your financial situation. If you are a first-time home buyer and can only get 3% down for a home, let your agent know. You will be surprised at how innovative an agent can be in helping you find solutions to your problems.

The final criteria for an expert agent is their ability to use technology to help you with your home search. An expert agent will be able to utilize electronic multiple listing services to gather information on housing trends for you. They can advise you on how to best use our website to find all the information you need. They will be able to provide you with information on your options in a timely fashion.

A key piece to having an expert agent work for you is integrity. How honest is an agent in dealing with you?

So how do you determine if an agent is an expert, and how do you know if they are honest? It’s a good idea to ask friends or family members for recommendations of an agent.

Here are a few points we recommend you consider when making your choice:

  • Is the agent an expert in the geographical area you are looking to buy?
  • How long have they been in the real estate business and how long with their current company?
  • Find out how many homes they have listed in the area in which you are seeking to buy and find out how long it took for each of those homes to sell and close.
  • Ask for references of clients they have serviced in the last 6 months and then actually call those references (get at least three references). Ask those references how effective was the agent at servicing them. Would they use the agent again?
  • The agent should also be able to produce a list of online and community resources to help you profile a community.
  • Meet the agent in his or her office to see if you feel comfortable and ask them why you should have them represent you with your purchase. If you get any feelings that you aren’t comfortable with then choose another agent.

Dallas Area Residential Sales Report – Town Homes Carrollton, Texas

As an experienced Realtor, I can tell you that the townhome market in Carrollton, TX during October 2025 continued to appeal strongly to buyers who want the convenience of low-maintenance living without sacrificing the feel of a residential neighborhood. Townhomes in Carrollton offer a blend of modern design, functional layouts, and community amenities that attract both first-time buyers and those looking to downsize. Buyers this fall found a market shaped by steady builder activity, thoughtful neighborhood planning, and a demand for homes that provide an easier lifestyle with quick access to major employers, shopping, parks, and entertainment. For you as a potential buyer, this means options that balance comfort, style, and value—while still giving you the sense of “home” that many seek beyond traditional condo living. The atmosphere of the market this season felt confident and balanced, making it a strong time to explore opportunities and secure a property that fits both your lifestyle and long-term goals.

Buyer Advice – Why You Need A Real Estate Agent

I know that you have a lot of decisions coming up now that you’re in the hunt for a new house. This post is just aimed to arm you with some super helpful information to help you make the right decision, no matter what direction you want to go. An agent’s prime function is to help guide you through all of your decisions and processes. We help with not just finding the right home for you but also: – Setting appropriate budgets – Finding hidden details on homes (both good and bad) – Helping out with locating hidden costs (taxes, utilities, etc.) – Negotiations – Closing – Paperwork – Help you find the best mortgage lenders, movers, home inspectors and more And, of course, all the emotional support needed when making such a big purchase. If you want to go solo that’s great, and I wish you the best! But, if you think you do want to hire an agent, make sure to interview them first. Be sure to ask questions about their career like “How long have you been an agent?” “How many homes have you sold in the last year?” and “What kind of homes do you specialize in?” That’s it! I really do hope this information serves you well in finding the right agent, and if you’d like to talk further about it then feel free to let me know. I am happy to help you get started and answer any questions you may have about myself!

Don’t miss this spot here when you are in #sanfrancisco.city (although this has gotten quite complicated these days thanks to the orange guy and his fellow thugs) - those guys here definitely know how to relax (and make some noise, too!) 😉 !

Sea lions resting densely on wooden docks with some swimming in surrounding water, under clear blue skies. Several piers and an urban waterfront visible in the background.

#pier39 is one of the famous spots in #sanfranciscocity and it looks quite amazing even before the crowds gather here and fill it with life and voices! Don't know how it feels these days but in 2018 the world was a better place in the USA!

Clear blue sky over a bustling outdoor shopping area at Pier 39, featuring multiple two-story wooden buildings with variety of shops and blue signs. A significant blue circular structure marked “Aquarium of the Bay” stands on the right, and various informational signs and trash bins populate the brick-paved foreground.

This one is from 2018 were the world was somehow a better place - and the spirit from Silicon Valley a different one, even during the orange guy's first presidency. Not the bridge you expect when looking around in #sanfranciscocity for the first time but hey… it isn’t painted in red, is it?

View of a bridge spanning a body of water with a ferry boat in motion on the right side. The bridge supports are clearly visible against a partly cloudy sky. Sunlight is reflecting off the water. In the foreground, a metal railing alongside a concrete structure frames the left side of the view.
