2020 turned out to be a great year for Irving and Las Colinas (COVID aside), as they received some overdue national attention. Not exactly a secret though, since approximately 275,000 people (combined) live in the suburb, which is home to 8 of 22 Fortune 500 companies in North Texas.

No one knows the selling points of the area better than the Ewers Realty Group with Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate’s Park Cities office. Brit Ewers and his husband Zach Staats recently joined the brand with the goal of furthering their own by tapping into the wealth of resources and connections available from the Berkshire Hathaway affiliate.
Ewers and Staats live in Las Colinas with their two miniature schnauzers and serve not only their neighbors in the area, but Central Dallas as well. They provide comprehensive sales and marketing solutions to builders and developers, and specialize in urban and infill townhome communities in Dallas and Las Colinas. Brit has been ranked No. 1 in Irving and No. 6 in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex for townhome sales since 2017. And he is consistently among the top 10 selling agents in Irving/Las Colinas and the top 3 percent of agents in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
“We have built our business here with good reason,” Ewers said. “The proximity to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and downtown Dallas… the state-of-the art Irving Convention Center and Toyota Music Factory entertainment center… the canals, lakes and golf courses – these are all compelling reasons why these suburbs should be on everyone’s consideration set, if not at the top of the list.”
More than 125,000 people work in Las Colinas and the surrounding business districts thanks to the high concentration of corporate headquarters and large regional offices. Office leasing activity hit a lull during the pandemic, but recent data shows demand for new business space is rebounding. And of course, all those people will need places to live.
Ewers and Staats are currently representing two townhomes in Las Colinas, both of which are open Sunday.
