I have known Laurie Mah forever, and now I will get to see way more of her! Laurie has left the Greenville Ave. office of ReMax and joined the Ben Jones Group at Allie Beth Allman & Associates. I can hardly wait to give her a glass of wine and get her going on homes in Ennis and Corsicana… just getting my fingertips warmed up!

Several Dallas Realtors attended yesterday’s remarkable dedication for the George W. Bush Presidential Center, including independent agent Mickey Stuart and Dave Perry-Miller’s Steve Collins. I have not heard from her yet, but am certain Allie Beth Allman and Pierce were included, and Kari Schlegel may have accompanied her parents. Mickey, a Dartmouth buddy, gave me a full report, and shared some fabulous photos:
Have you noticed how the homes in Dallas are getting pricier? Maybe it has something to do with all the VIPs in town today, but a million dollar home now seems to be almost, well, commonplace. We know it takes almost a million to gain entry to Park Cities. But yowsers, now we are seeing a flurry of serious double digit listings, and I am not just talking about Tom Hick’s triple digit Crespi Estate. Dallas real estate seems to be on a roll as hot as the city itself. Talking to Phillip Day, vice president of residential sales at BahaMar, in Nassau, The Bahamas the other day at a SecondShelters event. By the way, Dallas was Phillip’s first stop in the United States for U.S. sales of this $3.5 billion dollar development. Phillip has been away from Dallas for a bit, having sold off luxury second home residences at The Residences Viceroy Anguilla. He drove around Dallas a bit before our soiree, and told me this: “You know how it is with your kiddos, when you see them every day and don’t realize how big they are getting? Then one day you measure them and see how they have just shot up. Well, that’s what has happened to Dallas.”
In my neck of the woods, it seems like just a few days, if not hours, after a sign goes up in front of a home, a “Contract Pending” topper is added.

Remember this beautiful baby? Hip pocket at $9,995,000 and oh how we love her. Huge kudos to the dynamic real estate team of the Carroll/Eltis Group over at Allie Beth Allman… and check their website for even more hip pocket fun.

Last Saturday was Celebrate Baby Day at Allie Beth Allman’s fabulous Crestpark penthouse that, quite honestly, rivals Tim Headington’s. I mean, does Tim (or the new owner) have a greenhouse or a pond on HIS terrace? The occasion was a joyous baby shower for agent extraordinaire Kari Schlegel Kloewer who is expecting a baby boy this spring, though from looking at her you would never, ever know it. Kari’s sister Kim Schlegel Whitman is also expecting her second child, and mom Myrna is gearing up for three grandchildren and many, many hours of babysitting!

We tend to obsess over condos here from time to time, searching through listings and Pinterest. (By the way, did you know you can pin photos from CandysDirt.com just by hovering over them and clicking the “Pin It” button? Well, you can.) Sometimes we find one that is so money and it doesn’t even know it.
Allie Beth Allman’s charm jumps across the phone line from the very first first “hello.” From her West Texas drawl to her thoughtful and gracious answers, I felt like there was no one else she’d rather talk to than me even though I know she’s one of the busiest women in Dallas real estate. She was somewhat reserved talking about her own accomplishments and I had to prod a bit, but the minute we started talking about her agents, she was animated and full of admiration for their work ethic, character and integrity.
For more than 40 years, Karen Luter of Allie Beth Allman & Associates has been blazing trails in Dallas real estate. She became a broker in 1982 and has been a consistent multimillion dollar producer ever since. She opened new territory in the luxury home market in Dallas, helped developers re-brand themselves for the high end market and built communities that have stayed together for decades. She is known for her attention to detail and incredible work ethic.
