http://m.richpatterson.netBuyer Rebate Program
This is most likely the best news yet for buyers. When the seller's agent/broker pays me a 3% commission on the sale of any home, townhouse or condominium and I represent you as your buyer's agent, I'll give you up to 1/3 of my commission to help you with your closing costs!* Alternatively, the buyers may wish for me to donate that 1% to a non-profit organization. Either way, it's a win-win program.
* Some restrictions apply. You can read the details of the program here.Pre-Owned S.F.Home Sales up 2%
DFW Single Family home resales are up slightly at 2% over last year - Condo and townhome resales are down 13% over the same period.

More and more news organizations across this nation are reporting how issues like high gas prices, environmental concerns and gridlock on our roadways are drawing people back to the city for housing. Instead of the urban blight that dominated back in the 80’s, people are discovering luxury style townhomes, condos and high-rises with features like granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors and fantastic views of the city.
Cities that are investing millions into light rail systems, like Dallas and Denver, are experiencing a high rate of revitalization in and around the urban core. I've been watching the growth here ever since my partner and I moved to Uptown in 2001. We love living in the city. Life here means you’re within walking, biking or transit distance to entertainment, restaurants, shopping, gyms, exercise trails, you name it.
