Architecture as Art
Significant Homes, Dallas Estate Homes, Modern Homes, Architect Designed Homes
You recognize good architecture as art and we want to help you discover the architecturally significant homes, estate homes and modern homes in Dallas’s finest neighborhoods where you can find architecture that is art. Cognizant that time is your most precious commodity, we will efficiently review the entire on-market and off-market inventory of homes you appreciate and seek, homes of real value.
A note of thanks for a most civilized experience ... our recent home sale was conducted with such efficiency, discretion, and geniality that we know that our buyers were as pleased with the ease of the sale/purchase process as we. Your marketing of our home with such sensitivity to the particular merits of our property and of our neighborhood led to a surplus of potential buyers at the end --- a very rewarding experience! In our 30 years of buying and selling homes in three states, never have we enjoyed such confidence in our realtor nor worried so little about the eventual successful outcome.
It is an additional satisfaction to know how well you have matched our beloved home with its new owners.- James and Patricia Shinn
