A SLICE OF LIFE ON SWISS

Like a perfectly wrapped Mother’s Day gift, the annual Swiss Avenue Historic District Home Tour is a treat ready to be enjoyed.

This year marks the 42nd celebration of the homes, décor and lifestyle of this early 1900’s neighborhood that included the first paved streets in Dallas. Once home to many of the founding families of Dallas (W.W. Caruth, J. Woodall Rogers, Carrie Marcus Neiman) the broad streets and tree-lined parkways still offer stunning examples of Prairie, Craftsman, Georgian, Neoclassical and Mediterraneanstyle homes.

The Mother’s Day Home Tour will be held May 9-10. For more information on times, tickets and related events, go to sahd.org. Proceeds benefit the Swiss Avenue Historic District

Just a year ago the Lakewood community welcomed us to our new office at 6301 Gaston Avenue. We started with 12 outstanding Lakewood agents and have already grown to include 19 real estate professionals who are assisting buyers and sellers throughout East Dallas. I’d like to offer my thanks to all the agents who are working to bring extraordinary service and unsurpassed market knowledge to the neighborhood. And thank you to the many clients who have welcomed the Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty brand.

SPRING is the perfect time to head outdoors to ENJOY ACTIVITIES like sailing on White Rock Lake or a fun run down Greenville Avenue to c elebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

Spring is the perfect time to head outdoors to enjoy activities like sailing on White Rock Lake or a fun run down Greenville Avenue to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. It’s also a great time to consider buying or selling a home— especially in Lakewood where homes are selling after just 42 days on market.

If you are thinking of buying or selling a home, I am happy to help in connecting you to an agent.
