Dallas Mayor Leppert Just Fishing For Real Estate?
They are not “actively marketing their home” nor hankering to move, and they don’t have their eyes set on another abode. But now that the kids are gone, Mayor Tom Leppert and his wife, Laura, are toying with the idea of selling their 10,106-square-foot home in the honeypot of Preston Hollow — a hop, skip and jump from the recent $30 million-ish sale of 5323 Park Lane.
They are toying with the idea so much that they have their home quietly listed with Keller Williams agent Nicky Sheets (how much they are not-actively-marketing it for, Sheets won’t say), and the home is not listed in the MLS. According to the mayor’s spokesperson, Chris Heinbaugh, the first couple of Dallas just want to let it be known that if someone is interested in buying a beautiful Granbury-stone home DCAD valued at just over $5 million, built in 2002, at a competitive price, well then they just might consider selling.
Of course, should the “not-active-marketing” result in a sale, the Lepperts would like to stay in the same area.

I really just don’t even know where to start with this one…
Birds of a feather, maybe?
Out of all the great agents in Dallas they could use, they chose HIM! I guess he didn’t read D Magazine’s story on him and EMS, eh?
And Don Hill will be hosting the open houses?
How much does the Mayor make again? I’m in the wrong line of business!
Everybody knows Park Lane is sleazy east of Central or is it Inwood?
Well, well. A second post about Nicky Sheets in the last week and the second since the cover story in December about this family.
You may recall the animosity between Mrs. Mowery-Sheets and Candy Evans last year during a trial.
“As Eleanor tossed her Louis Vuitton bag on the security conveyor belt, she spotted Mary Candace Evans, the D Home real estate editor who had for months chronicled Eleanor and Nicky’s legal troubles on her blog, DallasDirt. “What are you doing here?” Eleanor demanded. Then turning to the security guard: “I want her out of here!”
You may also recall that the Sheets’ had a financial dispute with D Publishing according to Tim Rogers who said, “After our business department experienced payment issues with [Mowery-Sheets], they dug a little deeper into her creditworthiness and discovered multiple federal liens.
Candy, what’s the deal? Have the Sheets settled their financial disputes with your company? Why are you suddenly posting information about Nicky when clearly you and your company were at odds with the Sheets? And is KW and/or the Sheets spending ad money with your company?
What’s the background?
@Please clarify: You must be new to the area. Whenever Candy lists or mentions a property, she includes the agent. This is strictly a news story about the mayor of Dallas selling his house.
There’s no reason to make a big deal out of Nicky’s being mentioned. The story is Leppert, not Nicky. Candy didn’t even mention Eleanor.
Let’s get back on topic — the Dallas mayor’s house is for sale.
@Joe
Thanks for Leading Off this morning. You must be new to journalism. (wink). The fight b/w the Sheets and Allison/Evans is big news and the fact they are shilling for him after the blowout is topical and suprising.
C’mon Candy, ‘fess up. What happened with the business issues b/w your employer and the Sheets?
Well now that the claw are out … maybe this has something to do with the July foreclosure posting of a certain agent’s home.
I thought Please Clarify’s email was mean when I first read it, but this situation is unusual, I found another post about this subject last week. Candy would not answer the question about the current business relationship there, either. Her silence about questions on this post are deafening.
Foreclosure – whose house are you referring to?
This Sheets/D Magazine “truce” (payoff?) smells to high heaven.
