You know we’re suckers for open houses! They’re great ways to get a feel for how a home lives, and they can be eye opening when it comes to discovering new neighborhoods and enclaves. Though we keep hearing about a slow-down in the market, we’re still getting invites in all directions to tour some of the best homes in Dallas and beyond. We couldn’t help but share a very special open house tour featuring none other than North Dallas’ Preston Trails/Bent Tree neighborhoods.
“This is a great area with a tremendous convenient location, often overlooked,” says Jacqui Bloomquist, who is representing the gorgeous four-bedroom, four-bathroom home at 5818 Preston Fairways Drive during the Sept. 1 open house tour. “Most of these are zero-lot-line homes in terrific neighborhoods — Bent Tree Royal, Preston Trails Fairways, and Cambridge Place at Preston Trails!”
The open house tour, which is planned for Saturday, Sept. 1, from 2 to 4 p.m., will include five homes in the area represented by a diverse number of brokerages at a wide range of prices.
“We have five homes on tour, one each in the $400s, $500s, $600s, $700s, and $800s — it will give a buyer a great feel for what they can get at the different price ranges in the same general location,” Bloomquist said. “These are some great agents — top producers — working together to get these homes sold! We are having refreshments at each home; of course, I will have the wine!”
Here’s a look at the houses on the Sept. 1 open house tour. You can also print and take along this flyer.
