Seller-financing licensing exemption reinstated
Great news for sellers who finance in Texas: Texas Department of Savings & Mortgage Lending Commissioner Doug Foster has issued a notice that allows the continuation of the de minimis exemption until further action is taken by the Legislature. This exemption, which was briefly repealed by the federal SAFE Act, means that a seller can once again finance up to five properties in a 12-month period without being licensed as a residential mortgage loan originator. The Texas Association of REALTORS® worked closely with the agency in its efforts to continue to allow the exemption to apply in Texas.
The de minimis exemption has not yet been recodified, but the Texas Association of REALTORS® will continue to work during the next legislative session to see that it is reinstated in statute.

Dallas and Texas as a whole are recognized for doing things bigger, and to us Texans better. Dallas’ slogan says it all, “Live Large. Think Big.” This slogan embodies the essence and vitality of a city built on big dreams and an attitude that all things are possible.
I know it has been difficult for so many of us during these economic times, but my focus is to appreciate what I do have and to allow these times to mold me to put more emphasis on the areas of life that are truly important. Are you seeing your glass half full or half empty? As North Texans, we do have a lot to be thankful for.
When companies look for a place to build business while providing a good home for their employees, they look no further than the 12-county region that includes Arlington, Dallas, Fort Worth and all the cities in between. More than six million people call North Texas home and for many good reasons: There are 24 FORTUNE 500 companies headquartered here, the cost of living ranks below the national average, and DFW International Airport is the third busiest airport in the world. North Texas is more than cowboys and oil wells these days. Our diverse economy provides a healthy workforce for those in healthcare, technology and logistics. As the fourth largest metropolitan region in the U.S. and growing, North Texas is quickly becoming the region of choice. |

They say everything is bigger in Texas, but did you realize how big the DFW area is becoming from a population standpoint?
The Metroplex in 2010 has now reached a population of 6.8 million and is growing at 165,000 net gain annually. We are the fastest growing region in the United States. According to Michael Cox, economist at SMU, it is now projected that we will have a population of 10.73 million by 2028. We will then be the 3rd largest region in the United States, moving up from our current 4th ranking and surpassing Chicago.

Fall is upon on us so if you are anything like me you are excited about the cooler weather and getting outside to enjoy those cooler days and evenings with family and friends. I want to dedicate this edition of our newsletter to what has been on my heart the most lately- family and friends. When I think of Real Estate I truly think of dreams, goals and most of all family and friends. Here at S&W Home Team we are very fortunate that we spend the majority of our time working with friends and family. We find it an honor to help that young married couple fulfill their dream of buying their first home together. It is our privilege when we assist a family selling their home so they can buy another home that is going to better fit their needs. Sometimes this means the family is growing and is expecting a new baby so they need a larger home, while at other times it is a family that the kids are going off to college and it is time for them to downsize. No matter the case, what Real Estate means to us is the opportunity for us to help friends and family meet their goals and fulfill their dream of home ownership. We believe that “Home is where the Heart is” so we do everything within our power to make the buying and selling process as stress free and smooth as possible so our clients walk away feeling served and taken care of. |

In today’s competitive environment we have all witnessed first hand the lack of customer service that exists. Whether we are calling a company to desperately talk to a human as we follow the prompts of which number to push to only get another recorded voice or sitting at a restaurant wondering whether we will ever get served; we all just desire to do business with those organizations that truly understand and appreciate the value of true customer service. In the Real Estate market consumers have many options and with this in mind we are proud to announce the formation of S&W Home Team. |
