D Magazine Best Realtor Party

Was a total success tonight at the venerable Mansion on Turtle Creek. Several lovely gifts were given away, two went to Ebby Halliday-esque agents — free whitening for Dave Perry-Miller who will now have brighter, whiter teeth in all his photos and Kay Cheek out of the Frisco office who won  — love the irony — a Botox package. Cheek –face — get it?

Before You Move, Always Take A Test Drive

Was talking to a dear friend of mine at the Stoneleigh party tonight — she  sold her house (North Dallas, north of LBJ even imagine that!) and is looking for one to buy. And she really wants to move south of downtown to Kessler Park/Oak Cliff. So, she found a cute house and decided to go down to visit it at night to see how safe she felt coming home late, when it’s dark and spooky, sort of take a “coming home test drive.”

Bad news: the police were at the neighbor’s house dusting fingerprints after a burglary. Sam Dealey Drive. She has decided not to move there.
