Dallas Realtor Debbie Murray Recommends New Surveys

Dallas Realtor Debbie Murray Recommends New Surveys
Dallas Realtor Debbie Murray recommends new surveys when you buying a new home.
Years ago Debbie’s home buyers purchased a home on acreage.  At her recommendation they purchased a new survey, and when they received it, to their surprise, and everyone’s surprise, the survey boundary lines did not match the original survey provided by the sellers to the home buyers. The next-door neighbors fence line was encroaching 5 feet onto the property that her buyers were purchasing.  It turns out that many sellers who had sold their homes on the street had experienced the same issue, as the homes had been miss-surveyed when they were built.  A real estate attorney prepared a boundary agreement for the buyers, sellers, and the homeowner’s next door that would pass on to future buyers of the two properties that basically said that the neighbors could not build any other structure (there was already a putting green and play fort) on this 5 feet of property.  It also said that if the two structures were ever removed, that the fence line would be moved to the proper boundary line.
That same real estate attorney told Debbie a true story.  A home buyer had purchased an expensive home that was located on a desirable creek lot in Dallas. The buyer did not purchase a new survey, and after closing demolished the current structure in order to build a new one. When the buyer went to the city of Dallas to get permits for building, they were denied a permit because the home was now in a floodplain. The home that had been torn down was a grandfathered home in the floodplain. That was a very expensive mistake to not get a new survey.  Remember that flood plains may change through the years and affect surveys.
Lastly, regarding surveys. They must be legible in order to be used in a real estate transaction.  Today it is common place for surveyors to put a copyright on their survey, so that their survey is not reused without compensation to the surveying company.

“It was a pleasure and an honor to have Debbie as my Real Estate agent. Her professionalism was highly above expectations.”

“I have worked with Ms Debbie Murray with a purchase in Dallas in April 2017. She was the most professional and knowledgeable realtor I have ever worked with. Debbie helped us with every step before, during, and even after, making sure our entire experience was a successful one. She thoroughly knew the market and really helped us to learn our new community and made us feel secure about our largest family investment yet. Debbie will be our realtor in the future and the best referral I can give to someone in the market… She is a true Winner!!!”

“When my family and I found out we were being relocated from New York to the Dallas area we were extremely nervous because of our lack of knowledge about the area. We count our blessings for being matched up with Debbie Murray!  She was extremely knowledgeable about the area, the existing homes and the new construction.  With her guidance we decided on a new construction-a big undertaking since we were going to be in New York during the building process.  She worked with us from the choice of floor plan, to the building lot, to the negotiations and the final paperwork.  We could not be happier with her or our experience.  Any time someone is talking about real estate we always mention Debbie and the fantastic job she did for us.”

Should I Sell My Dallas Home Now

Should I Sell My Dallas Home NowShould I sell my Dallas home now?  Debbie Murray of Allie Beth Allman & Associates at 214-558-1004 says that now is a great time to sell your home.  Although the summer selling season has come and gone, the lack of local inventory is an advantage to you for selling your home now.

Some buyers have taken a break from their Dallas area home search due to rising interest rates, bidding wars, and lack of inventory.  However, many sellers in University Park, Highland Park, Preston Hollow, and other luxury areas around Dallas attract many cash buyers.  And even so, not all home buyers pay cash, and some are experiencing a corporate relocation, or a life event such as upsizing or downsizing.  These buyers may have to buy a Dallas area home the last quarter of this year.
Typically, the last months of the year have fewer home buyers searching for homes.  This is an advantage to home buyers to have less competition for making an offer, and executing a home sales contract.  If your home is ready for the real estate market, now may be a great time to sell it.  Hire a marketing expert like Debbie to represent you.  She has a BBA in Marketing, and she has won many prestigious real estate marketing awards at luxury real estate conferences.  Debbie provides her sellers customized marketing plans, and she understands that telling the story of the lifestyle of the home is imperative.
Debbie has represented home buyers and sellers in Dallas residential real estate for 23 years.  She and her luxury boutique broker, Allie Beth Allman & Associates, specialize in the Park Cities of Dallas which include University Park, and Highland Park,  Preston Hollow in Dallas, and luxury high rises, although she has assisted clients in other areas.

Dallas Home Buyers Benefit From Sound Real Estate Advice

Dallas Home buyers benefit from the sound real estate advice of Debbie Murray at Allie Beth Allman & Associates at 214/558-1004.

For years Debbie has been instructed by Dallas real estate attorneys to advise her home buyers to purchase a new home survey.  And through the years that advice has proven valuable.

Years ago Debbie’s buyers bought acreage northwest of Dallas.  Per the contract, they indicated that they would purchase a new survey, and it was a good thing that they did.  The survey came back showing that the neighbors putting green and their play fort were encroaching by five feet on to the property that her buyers were purchasing.  The original seller’s survey had been mis-surveyed.  After discussing the boundary problem with the next door neighbors, the sellers discovered that other sellers on the street had experienced similar survey issues when they sold their homes.  As a result, a real estate attorney prepared a boundary agreement which basically said that if the owners next door, or future owners, removed the putting green or the play fort, that the fence line would be moved to the property line.  And this agreement would pass to future owners of each property.
There is nothing wrong with asking for the sellers survey as a baseline, and still purchasing a new one.  After all, the two surveys should say the same thing if they were both surveyed correctly.  Information is crucial when purchasing a home.

Sell Your Dallas Luxury Condo

Sell Your Dallas Luxury Condo Sell your Dallas luxury condo with Texas Associate Broker Debbie Murray of Allie Beth Allman & Associates in Highland Park at 214-558-1004.

In 2016 Debbie Listed and Sold unit #2502 in Museum Tower in Downtown Dallas, in just four months.  Her seller informed her that their sale was the first resale unit in the building, as the building was only 50% sold out.  She went on to win “Best Marketing of a Property” that year at Leaders in Luxury for her creative and customized marketing plan for the 2016 condo sale.  An interesting fact about some of Dallas’ high rise buildings is that the builder/developer floor plans include the terrace square footage in the total unit square footage.  This can come into play if a condo has an appraisal issue as most times air conditioned space is considered building square footage.

Debbie has access to many exclusive high rise listings loaded with amenities such as Museum Tower.  Some on the market and some private pocket listings.  Not sure which condo community best fits your needs?  Ask a pro.  The buildings are different and their amenities are too.  Some of the Dallas high rises have private garages, black car services, wine storage, media rooms, and more.  And of course, the condo view is key when pricing the condo.  Some Dallas condos are near flight paths, or have park, creek, or downtown views which may affect the resale of the property.  And the HOA dues vary per building, and they are usually based on the size of the unit in the building.  The larger the condo the higher the dues.  Whether selling or buying your Dallas luxury condo, work with an experienced agent who knows the condo inspectors, etc.  Contact Debbie to schedule a tour of exclusive high rises today or to sell yours.
