Blazing Star a Blazing Deal


5802 Blazing Star in Frisco ~ A Unique & Desirable Home!

5 Bedrooms or 4 Bedrooms plus Media Room - 3 Full & 1 Half Baths
Living Room-Family Room-Game Room-Study
Gorgeous Greenbelt Lot - Large Professionally Landscaped Yard

What a fabulous lot --- a double sided greenbelt location with no immediate backyard or side neighbors. This is an extra -wide lot also --- so there’s lots of breathing space, play space, and plenty of room for a pool.

You will be convinced that you are viewing a model home. The formal living and dining rooms have been updated and upgraded with cased windows, crown molding, and luxurious lighting, providing a hint of what is to come throughout this fabulous home.

The use of slate above the fireplace and on an accent wall in the family room gives this home a rich inviting and warm feeling. The study features built-in book shelves, a cozy window seat, and a fabulous wine closet.

The kitchen, family room, and breakfast nook are open for great family living and entertaining. The island and breakfast/serving bar add to the ambiance. Great cabinets and a large pantry make this space quite functional, as well as beautiful, enhanced by the granite counter tops and slate back splash. The family room features large windows viewing the yard and greenbelt, and the corner fireplace provides a focal point for the room with its slate wall above the mantle going up, up, up!!!

Privately located at the back of the home, the master bedroom suite is large and inviting with a wall of windows and sitting area viewing the backyard area and the open green space. The master bath has been totally updated and features custom vanities, a large walk-in closet, a separate tub with slate surround, as well as a frameless glass shower, also featuring a slate surround, an art niche and a linen closet. The window over the tub is a "rain drip" window, letting in lots of light while providing privacy. You will think you are in a much more expensive home.

Plenty of room for the family upstairs, too!!! The upstairs is ideal for the family or visitors. The game room is large enough for a pool table. The open baluster staircase and railing provide a dramatic view into the family room.

There are three bedrooms upstairs, plus a fourth which is two level so it makes an awesome media room. The sconce lighting (not powered) in the media room provides the atmosphere for a great additional living area The hall bath has been updated with amazing glass tiles surrounding the tub and shower as well as trimming the vanity area. The custom framed mirror completes the 21st century design. There is also a walk-thru bathroom upstairs.

All in all, this is one home that it is easy to admire. Lone Star Ranch is a super community and this home is clearly at the top of the quality range in appearance and home site. The owners have put a lot of love and pleasure in updating and upgrading this fine home. Enjoy your visit and come back soon.

Wouldn’t this be a great place for you to live?

Benefit Before Feature!






If you have attended one of my sales training seminars, you will remember me using this term. “Benefit before Feature” is a basic marketing philosophy and concept.

The fact that you have a great product or service is wonderful. The prospect or client is often bombarded with claims of superiority. What they really need to know is how it will impact them to use your services or products. You have to reduce it to benefit. This will be a different message than they are used to hearing. For that reason, you will get their attention and have a much better chance of creating a favorable buying environment.

The benefit statement, for example:

"Your clients will be impressed with our team’s knowledge of our business. You will find that we understand more and cut to the chase more quickly, saving you time and money. While many can provide a product or a service, few can meet your needs and make you more productive. Cost is not always what you pay for a product or service, but rather, how easily you can operate your business.”

Large organizations are sometimes more consumed with themselves than with clients. Many times managers, pressed with the day-to-day problems of operations and management, forget that clients are the greatest asset. Large organizations tend to evolve in this manner and the problems of daily management push the sales and client work to the lowest level of priority.

In order to compete and win against the “Big Boys”, we must focus on client knowledge. Client knowledge is more valuable than product knowledge. I have often said that if I know a great deal about a prospect, I can walk into any situation and have an excellent chance of closing a sale or meeting a client’s needs.

Client knowledge is the secret to meeting client’s needs and wants. As you know, people pay more for what they want than they do for what they need. So, our strategy for beating the “Big Boys” is pretty simple. Obtain and use more client knowledge than they do. Whether dealing with a prospect, or existing client, get to know the client and the clients business.

We might say:

"I guess you are pretty tired of me asking all these questions about your business. I hope you see that we are really focused on understanding your needs and wants. While many companies may meet your needs, we take the time to understand what will make you comfortable and successful in your business so that we can deliver better service to you. On a regular basis we sit down with clients and explore how they operate, so that we can find ways of serving them better. This commitment takes time, but we really believe in service."

Team Selling - Better Communication & Interaction Comes in Smaller Packages!



TEAM Selling



The large organization often has a difficult time in building teams because there are more people. Larger teams are more difficult to form, manage, and control. With a smaller TEAM, there is more communication and interaction among TEAM members.

The “Big Boys” have a challenge in this regard. As teams get larger and the span of supervision gets broader, the time and effort to build a TEAM increases. While large organizations have more people, they are not necessarily better staffed. When a large organization builds its business plan around a large corporate staff and minimal line employees the level of service decreases at the operating level.

Less focus on TEAM results in more bickering, quarreling, and conflict. Clients, who believe that our TEAM is their TEAM, do not like conflict, bickering and quarreling. The smaller organization, with a better span of supervision and more frequent communications, has the ability to construct and maintain a TEAM atmosphere more easily.

To compete against the “Big Boys”, we should focus on TEAM building and strengthening the communications between TEAM members and clientele. This will support our contention that we have a unified group and that our TEAM members are working together to assist our clients.

For example, we might tell clients or prospects:

"We spend a great deal of time on developing our TEAM. It is my belief that you want a cohesive group that works well together to support your goals and objectives. Our efforts to build a TEAM mean that we have less quarreling and conflict within our organization, and as a result, can provide you with better service. Our TEAM building includes you. We ask our TEAM members to understand completely your goals and objectives. Because we are a smaller group, we are able to interact more frequently and respond more readily to business challenges."

What are you doing to build TEAM in your organization?
Is “TEAM building” a priority or a lost art in your business?
How do you build involvement, interest, and participation with your TEAM?

Small Business Advantage - Clientele Informed Better & Faster - Customized Fashion



This concept is an important part of my teachings and in my own business operations. This fundamental concept is that when people call or visit they most often want information, and until you give them the information they want, you have power. This is also true in the day-to-day operation of our business. When clients want information, they will always go to the fastest most competent source of information that they know about.

The large operation is sometimes too busy and too big to spend the time that is needed to gather and then disseminate the information in a responsive manner. One of our goals should be to inventory the information requirements and then make that information available to our clientele in a fast, efficient manner. TEAM members should look for opportunities to provide specific and valuable information to clients. We want to reinforce the idea that we are there to assist them, creating a climate of responsiveness and support.

The age of the Internet has forever changed the way we provide information. TEAM members that have access to information via their desktop, and know how to get the information for clients, will be perceived as valuable resources.

We might say:

"Our TEAM members are all trained on the use of the Internet. We have identified and catalogued many Internet sites where we can obtain critical information to assist you in your everyday business activities. When you are sitting at your desk, wondering how to find something out, about a company, person, or opportunity, think about us. Each of our TEAM members has access to the Internet and can either get the information or tell you how to get what you want. If they don't have the information, they will let me know and I will respond accordingly. I have to admit, we have an advantage in this area over our competitors. Because we are smaller and have a less complex working environment, our TEAM members are highly responsive in this area. Give us a test, and you will see what I mean."

The organization that has the information will be highly regarded when compared to those organizations that are too busy, or too focused on meeting corporate TEAM requirements, rather than client needs. When your manager is too busy doing a report for you to respond to client needs, you have trouble.

What sources of information do we have available for our clients?
How can we do a better job of being on top of the information?

Survival Tips In Tough Times – Commercial Lease Savings!
The current economy demands that business owners and large corporations alike, look for ways of cutting costs. One major way to cut cost is to look at all of your leases and determine if you can re-negotiate the lease with your landlord. Many think this cannot be done until the end of the lease. This is not the case. Landlords are desperate to keep Tenants in buildings and hang on through these difficult times. The secret is to find what helps the Landlord and what helps you. Sometimes, an extension of your lease for a few years will allow the Landlord to re-negotiate the existing terms of your lease and give you rent relief. A great idea if you understand the dynamics of what the Landlord needs right now.



If you are not sure what to do, don’t be paralyzed with indecision. Get your lease documents and any correspondence that you have had with your Landlord organized. Contact the Leasing Representative for your building anonymously and ask for current rental rates for similar space to yours. Go on the web and find your building or Landlord site to determine what they are publishing as current rates and availability. Then, when you are ready, contact your Broker or Tenant Representative and ask them their opinion. Be factual and calm. Don’t let the emotions of re-negotiation cloud your vision. As someone who holds a degree in Psychology – Human Behavioral Theory, I can tell you that in these moments it takes patience and thoughtful analysis, not fear.




If your Broker or Tenant Representative tells you that you have no chance, don’t accept “no” for an answer. The Tenant Representative that you dealt with may have a relationship with the building that they do not want to jeopardize by bringing up such a sensitive issue as a re-negotiation. Above all else, don’t call the building representative yourself. They will only hear you pain, not your need. They will also tend to say “no” without thought to the positive aspects for all.




If you get nowhere talking to your Broker or Tenant Representative, or would like to have a one-on-one no obligation chat with me about your situation, give me a call. We can explore the possibilities. If you are in the State of Texas, I can act as your Tenant Representative and the building will often pay my fee. If you are outside of Texas I can work as your Consultant. We can discuss any fees if you determine that my services would be of benefit.

Great News! Existing Home Sales Up 5.1% in February 2009


Great News to all those that are are watching the Real Estate Market in Texas!


Fox News Business reports today, March 23rd, that Existing Homes Sales are up nationally 5.1% and up 6.1% in the South!


Take a look at the homes we are highlighting this month at The O'Dea Moyers Group at www.TheSingularSolution.com or contact us at 972-464-4100. See you there!


Fox News



The number of existing homes sold in February unexpectedly rose last month, an industry trade organization said Monday, as distressed home sales continued to remain the dominant force in the nation’s impaired housing market.


According to the National Association of Realtors, the number of homes sold rose 5.1% to a seasonally-adjusted rate of 4.72 million units in February up from 4.49 million annualized units.
The jump in sales was much better than what economists had predicted, who were expecting existing home sales to fall to 4.45 million units. The data helped boost stocks broadly, pushing the Dow Jones Industrial Average up nearly 300 points.


While the increased sale of homes is a welcome sign to Wall Street -- as many believe that the housing will eventually lead the nation’s economy out of this recession -- the bulk of February’s sales were distressed purchases. The average price for a home sold was $165,400, down 15.5% from a year ago.


“Because entry level buyers are shopping for bargains, distressed sales accounted for 40% to 45% of the transactions in February,” said NAR’s chief economist Lawrence Yun in a statement.
As it has been for the past couple months, existing home sales were stronger in the West than the rest of the nation -- primarily in the struggling housing market of California. Existing home sales in the region were up 2.6% from a month ago to 1.2 million annualized units, and are up 30.4% from a year ago.


In the Northeast, sales rose 15.6% to an annualized rate of 740,000 units and are down 14.9% from a year ago. In the Midwest, sales were basically flat -- up 1% -- to 1.04 million units.
In the struggling Southern market, existing home sales rose 6.1% to an annualized rate of 1.74 million units, according to the trade organization.
