Dallas City Center Snags Stovall, Preps for Big Night on Thursday
Dallas City Center has been keeping us on our toes with news lately. Word came in today that the fabulously talented Andra Stovall will take up the reins as Assistant Director /Director of Career Development on August 27th! She has a massive background of real estate experience including TREPAC Chairman for the Arlington Board of Realtors, Southwest Dallas County WCR President and so many “Affiliates of the Year” for various real estate organizations that we can’t count them all! Stovall was part of my MetroTex Leadership Academy Class 21 last year, so I know her capabilities up close and personal.

Anatomy of a Real, Vetted Castle Keeper: I Would Totally Let This Family Babysit My Home
All the publicity about that poor Murphy homeowner who had three nutcakes in her home as Castle Keepers may give you the heebee jeebies about letting strangers into your home to stage/babysit it. But as we said the first time, most Castle Keepers are extremely responsible people who would never dream of — well, pooping in the yard!

Castle Keepers Eviction Fiasco Ends In Murphy: Shocker, Someone Was Shown the Door
Recall last week’s drama up in Murphy (Collin County) where a homeowner named Aji Philip hired Castle Keepers and CK put tenants — named the Burgess brothers, 27 year old Drew, and 23-year old Shaun, into the home. Though youngsters, these fellows had been “home managers” before in three different Castle Keepers homes and had references. We were told by Kenny Raupple, owner of Castle Keepers, that one of the brothers Burgess sort of pulled a fast one on him by changing the contract he signed to give themselves more time in the casa before vacating, and more guests. Like their Papa. And a pet pit bull. The whole ordeal was very messy for the homeowner. Philip, who tried going to police but because it was a civil matter, had to wait for the court system to do its thing, after she got tasered. Ouch. Sometimes waiting for the court system can be very frustrating, I know.

Dallas Heartthrob Jessie Metcalfe Needs This Under $500K McKinney Condo STAT!
Dallas, the smart and sexy continuation of the iconic prime time hit over on TNT, has been renewed for 2013 and we’re ecstatic. Not only do we love the show, (the original was the first ever television series to be distributed globally), we love what it means for Dallas real estate. Hey JR and the gang need somewhere to stay and really, even the Mansion can get old after a few weeks. Even Dallas oil magnates need some personal space!
A new listing just hit the market and we think it would be perfect for one of the young Ewing clan, Christopher to be specific. Christopher Ewing, the adopted son of Bobby and Pam is also the biological son of Sue Ellen’s long dead sister Kristen and remember SHE shot JR. For those of you living under a rock, Christopher is portrayed by the hunky Jesse Metcalfe, whom we lusted after on Desperate Housewives and will continue to lust after ‘till the next real estate boom.

Friday Five Hundred: Walkable Dallas? It Exists in Preston Hollow
“Location, location, location! This is one of the few places in Dallas with so much within walking distance!” said Jim Olvera, photographer extraordinaire.
Say what?
Olvera is a gentleman who has only lived in the most tasteful neighborhoods in Dallas and calls it like it is. He now lives one block south of our Friday $500K, 6414 Northwood. I mean, this IS Preston Hollow, known for those leafy, patrician acreages and lawns, and a certain former President. Who walks here unless the Jag has sprouted legs? Still, maybe there’s a pocket even Candy hasn’t uncovered?

Friday Four Hundred Is Best Stocking Stuffer Ever: A Hutsell for the Holidays! Dallas Real Estate News
Best. Christmas gift. Ever: a Hutsell for under $450,000!
If you don’t know what a Hutsell is, shame on you. Architect Clifford Hutsell built homes that make Lakewood, well, Lakewood. When you see tile roofs, arches, eclectic detail and exterior stairs leading to second floor colorful balconies, you know you’re gazing at Dallas history. A lot of these homes are fairly large and fairly expensive, but this one is neither. All are memorable.
