In the video to the left, Michael Hunt, one of our Buyers Agents, and Brooke Hunt, our Lead Buyer Specialist, take a look at why right now is the perfect time to purchase a home. These two have worked through both thick and thin in regards to the state of the national economy and provide excellent information on what to look for and why to look now. In particular, Brooke saw the heat of the savings and loan crisis and both of them worked through the aftermath of September 11th, 2001. Together with the Buehlers, there’s nothing that this team can’t handle.

This year, we’ve seen some of the lowest interest rates on record, which provides an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers and veterans alike. Beyond this, housing prices have also dropped to all-time lows. While Texas’ economy is resilient compared to the national average, home prices have reached an optimal level in the area and inventory is high. We have more than just the standard options. There are resales, foreclosures, and short sales, the latter of which is a relatively new term in the marketplace that is used to describe distressed properties avoiding seizure by the banks.

Michael and Brooke reach out to potential buyers who may not have even thought about purchasing a home. It’s a good investment and now is the perfect time to make that leap. Everyone needs a place to live, and owning a home is a lot better than renting because of the long-term return. Also, a lot of people are surprised about how beneficial the tax credits can be. Renters are letting their landlords take advantage of those credits while they throw money away.


So, you’re ready to purchase a home. Good! You’re making a fantastic decision. But where do you start? In the video below, Michael and Brooke walk through common starting points and explain how much they can help you. You’ve already made the right choice by beginning with the Buehlers. Now we’ll make buying a new home as simple (and fun!) as possible.

Most people start by surfing the web. There are a number of websites that we recommend. Here the sites that Brooke mentions in the video:

Hello, everyone! The Buehlers & Associates of Keller Williams Realty are starting an interview series on everything you need to know about buying or selling your home. What better way to kick it off than to introduce the Buehlers themselves. Kurt and Darla Buehler explain the most important thing a potential buyer or seller in the Dallas/Fort Worth area can do: start with us!

Kurt and Darla are heading into their 25th year in real estate and all of those years were spent right here in Flower Mound, Texas. When you choose the Buehlers, you’re  getting not only the wealth of their experiences but also that of the entire Buehler Team. Throughout this video series, we’ll introduce you to these team members and they’ll show you first-hand what they can do for you. We know how to get you what you want and at the right price.

There’s a huge difference between a real estate agent and a real estate team. We have members dedicated to individual parts of the process because we understand that it’s too hard to rely on the “jack of all trades” method. The best part is that we all work for you. If you’re selling, we don’t just put a sign in the yard and hope for the best–we go through every possible channel to make sure your home stands out. If you’re buying, we know the area and the market and we will find you what you’re looking for!

So give us a call. We can get you started, answer any questions, or just chat!  (972) 355-1600

Did you know that there is a difference between a home that is “on” the market and one that is “in” the market? It’s true. If your home is priced too high, it may be for sale, but it is not in the market.

This may just sound like some clever use of word play, but it’s not–especially when you consider that you may be helping other people sell their homes! In this video, Dana Veach, the Listing Specialist for The Buehlers & Associates of Keller Williams Realty, draws an easy-to-understand graph and explains why pricing is such a delicate process. Fortunately for you, Dana has years of experience in determining the perfect starting price for your home.

The Buehlers & Associates look at three main things when determining the price of a home: location, condition, and supply and demand. While there are actually limitless factors that can affect that price, these three are the most crucial. When we talk about location, we’re talking about the subdivision, the school district, the price of homes in the area, and so on. For condition, Dana shows in the video that pricing your home too far above its condition will push it out of the market and actually help your neighbors sell their homes faster! Potential buyers can’t help but compare the prices and conditions of homes in the same area–we’ll help you be the better home in comparison. And, of course, if the inventory of homes in an area has skyrocketed, buyers are spoiled with choices and sellers have to price more competively. The supply of homes can greatly affect how yours should be priced, and demand varies over time. You can see this variance in the video as Dana does a great job of visually depicting the difference between the current market and the market in 2007.

Just remember: The Buehlers & Associates are here to help. Feel free to call us with any questions about this video or if you just want to chat. (972) 355-1600

Stay tuned for more interviews!

Kurt and Darla Buehler have had so many successes in the communities that they work in. They attribute much of that success to the communication that they have with every realtor in the community. They have made a concerted effort to help other agents who aren’t even in their company. We have helped with business planning, budgeting and marketing. When you do that with the agents around you, you have 1200 other realtors out there that know when our listings come up, they are going to show them

Agents understand that when they come into our listings they will see a home that is staged right and priced correctly. Our 23 years of a very good reputation in the community has made a huge difference. You can easily find our listings in the MLS because they end in a 929. That 929 is a reference to our anniversary. However, it has also been a sign to other agents that it is one of our listings. That tells them that the home will be priced right, well staged and they will get help on the listing.

We have been selling real estate in the Lewisville, Highland Village, and Flower Mound area for 23 years. When the average agent is closing 7 to 10 transactions, we have been closing more than 200 transactions per year for the last 10 years. We would like to answer some of the more frequently asked questions that we hear from both buyers and sellers. So, this video blog is one way for us to get your questions answered.

When you choose an agent, be sure to ask some tough questions and make sure that you understand that your realtor is working for you. In essence, you are hiring a real estate agent as your employee. Check with their references and current listings.
