Highland Homes - Super Builder & Super Rep


Tim Spurgeon & Highland Homes - Winners in Client Care...

Tim Spurgeon of Highland Homes is a highly successful professional we want to spotlight for recognition this week. We recently completed a contract for a client with Tim, and we must tell you, it was a great experience for me as an agent, and well as for my client, who purchased a home!

What does it take to win this applause? First and foremost, it was a highly professional presentation of a great home product. Tim was super to work with and treated my "buyer" with such professionalism and competence, that the process seemed to easy to be true.

When you are working with a builder, always have an agent with you. This will make sure that you are taken to home builders that are the best and who will give you the care and attention you deserve.

Look for a builder that has a superior product, provides superior after sale support, and is reasonable in pricing and contract terms. If you haven't purchased a new home before, have a competent qualified real estate agent with you that can explain the differences between the quality builders and the average builders.

If you don't know which builders to talk to or don't have a highly qualified agent to assist you, let us know and we will make sure that you get someone you can trust. We can also make sure that you find out which builders have the best reputation in your area.

Because we are part of the real estate network, Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, we have access to the information and professionals you will need to make good decisions!

State Farm Insurance Chooses Sonny

Dallas, TX July 26, 2010 The current global real estate market is challenging for most! But there are big “Winners” in this tough economy. Christy Brott of State Farm Insurance is a good example of winning large in the current economy.

Every economy and every situation creates winners and losers. Entrepreneurs and executives, who can decipher the market and find opportunities to win, will win big. In my experience, more fortunes are made in tough times than in good times. We have been working with Christy Brott of State Farm Insurance for a number of years. Next month, Christy will move to her new offices in Frisco, Texas.

She will be moving into non-retail space in a great building with fabulous signage. Few buildings offer the kind of signage that an insurance professional needs. In this case, we found a building owner that understood our needs and allowed the signage necessary for Christy to make the move. The result is an expanded office, better rent rates, and superior signage on Preston Road in Frisco, Texas.

Great real estate decisions are often driven by the real estate professionals unwillingness to give up and say it can't be found. In this situation, Sonny looked until he found a Landlord that was willing to compromise.

The lesson in this story is clear. Choose a real estate professional to assist you that will do the hard work to find what you need. Don't select someone who says, "it can't be found," until they have proven that to be true.

Real Estate Lending Update

Its official!!! 2010 is half over and it is HOT. This is not news to you, but it is a reality. Another reality we must face is that there have been lots of changes and developments regarding real estate sales in recent months, and we thought you might like an update on some of the latest changes involving purchasing, financing, and selling a home.


A few months ago several new rules came into effect for home buyers. These new rules have created great turmoil and many delays relative to closing on a home. The new "Good Faith Estimate" rules have become a nightmare for many home purchasers as well as for their lenders. Lending requirements are stricter than we have seen in many years, and this often causes significant delays in getting a home closed and funded.


It is not unusual for a buyer to have their credit report revisited by the lender a few days before the closing, and if their debt situation has changed, the loan can be denied, even if previously approved. No one buying a home today should go shopping until after the closing and funding of their new residence. This is often very uncomfortable for buyers who are anxious to purchase all kinds of things for their new home. However, getting a "clear to close" has new meaning today, and buyers need to keep their finances in check until after the closing.


If you or someone you know is considering purchasing or selling a home, they should know about these changes. Have them call me if they need assistance or information.
