Candace Evans — we call her Candy | is the real estate editor for D Home and a longtime contributing editor to D Magazine and sister pubs. She is on a quest to become the Suze Orman of Real Estate. Candy is Dallas-based, but rapidly becoming one of the nation’s leading real estate writers and consultants. Not only does she edit D Magazine Partner’s DallasDirt Blog, she contributes regularly to AOL’s HousingWatch and Joel Kotkin’s The New Geography. She is also a guest blogger for Inman Real Estate News FORUM: The Future of Real Estate Marketing and soon, a contributor to Move.com. Contact her at Candye@dmagazine.com

Her very first D contribution in 1981 covered real estate, in a manner: a  cover story called “Crime in North Dallas” that drew the ire of everyone—including the late Stanley Marcus—over a sidebar called “How To Burglarize a Home.” Candy trotted down to a Huntsville prison to interview a prisoner and offered readers tips from the pros. Candy holds an M.S.J. from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. She’s worked in print, TV news, written a couple of books, and chaired a gala or two, but now that her kids are grown, she lives and breathes—and even invests in—real estate. In fact, Candy is so obsessed with homes she recently took (and passed!) the Texas real estate sales exam and is now a licensed Texas real estate agent.
