Great Leadership in America


Leadership is Always Needed... But Essential Right Now!


Great leadership is hard to find in America. I am always motivated to hear from people that I respect who have demonstrated an ability to lead. On the 19th of this month, I had the pleasure of attending the "Get Motivated" Seminar in Dallas, Texas.


What an event. One of the speakers was General Colin Powell. His presentation was inspiring and it was a great pleasure to be able to shake his hand and thank him for all of his great service to our country.


We need people like General Powell today. He spoke of courage and a willingness to lead in adversity. I thank him for his message and his inspiration. We need people who are willing to lead, but also to lead in a direction that we believe to be appropriate. Regardless of your party affiliation, please vote in the upcoming election. We need for you to help choose leaders that you can "believe in."

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?

Commercial Real Estate Advantages


Survival Tips & Risk Management in Real Estate

Many business owners are struggling with the current economy. One of the largest expenses of many business owners is the cost of space for their office operations. It is not unusual for a company to have numerous leases for space in various parts of the country or the world.

Leases in traditional office buildings can be problematic in that in tough times, you have to pay for the space even when it is not needed. In addition, most long-term leases appear on your *balance sheet and represent long-term liabilities. This may make it more difficult to obtain loans or maintain lines of credit.


The use of executive suite facilities for branch offices may be a solution for some. Executive suite space can also be described as “Flex-Space.” Executive Suites typically allow a lease term of one year or less. As a result, they are frequently categorized as short-term liabilities and therefore are more favorable to a lender.

Short-term executive suite space allows a company to expand and contract quickly and economically. Bret Chapman of ABT Executive Suites in Dallas, Texas says, “Many of our clients grow and contract several times during their tenancy with us. They find it especially helpful that we can meet their expansion requirements in the good times and help them defray costs in economically challenging times.”

When a company is considering regional, national, or international business, they should always explore the executive suite solution. Landlords find this type of facility to be a major benefit to their building complexes. Executive suites allow a Landlord to accommodate space users that are too small to be profitable for the Landlord. By taking a large floor and building it out as an executive suite center, a Landlord can build out the space and make minimal changes over a ten or twenty year period.

If you are managing multiple leases with various termination dates, you should carefully consider letting some of your less desirable leases expire and moving your operations into an executive suite facility. While your cost for the space may be more per square foot, you will realize significantly better economies in that you share conference rooms, kitchen and break areas, and large reception or meeting facilities.

A careful analysis should be done of all of your real estate leases. This analysis should include a long-term transition plan to minimize higher risk, long-term leases with shorter more flexible arrangements.
