About Me
My name is Chris Harden with the Harden Real Estate Group/ RE/MAX North Central, I am not just an agent but also a Licensed Real Estate Broker and Co-Owner of RE/MAX North Central. I work with Banks, Asset companies and sellers to list their property and market it aggressively. I work with buyers to meet their needs and find a house they can really call "Home." My assistant has worked for me for over 6 years and really knows the business and can get everything in line to allow me to concentrate my time to people who employ my services.
RE/MAX is one of the largest Real Estate companies in the world with over 115,000 agents in 65 countries. My office comprises some of the most professional agents in the area and take great pride in providing excellent service. We also work with all the major Relocation companies including Cendant, Prudential, GMAC, and Sirva. National Association of Realtors statistics for 2007 say that 75% of buyers used a Realtor to find a home. Doesn't it make sense to go with a large company with a great reputation?
I have been in the top 1% in the nation in numbers sold and closed volume for the past 7 years. I closed over $16 million in 2007 and have closed over 50 properties each year the past 5 years. I average approximately 98% list to sell price. I am a strong negotiator and know that negotiating can mean anything not just price; it can be closing costs, appliances, new carpet etc. This means I work for you and I produce results.
If you own real estate that you're thinking of selling, The Harden Real Estate Group would be happy to provide you with a FREE Home Evaluation.
If you want an agent that will get the job done give me a call and put my marketing ability, over 15 years experience and the name RE/MAX to work for you. I work hard, fast, and aggressively to meet my clients Real Estate needs. You can reach me at 214-491-7257(cell) or 972-529-5555(office)or email me at charden@remax.net

The margins for Townhomes does not increase like a single family home does unless it is new. Stick with a house if you are looking for margin increases and to gain the equity but be careful. also, contact a Realtor and ask them to look at the market and what the projected growth is in that particukar area. I work with a lot of investors who look at these trends to determine the estimated equity.
if you have any questions feel free to give me a call at 972-529-5555 or email at charden@remax.net
Thanks and have a great day

I live in the subdivivion Thornberry Ridge next to the Lacima area. the main difference is the lot and home sizes, thus prices. There are 3 sections, Manor-largest,Haven-Middle and Meadows-smallest. Huntington and Drees built in Manor and Highland and Darling built in the Haven and Meadows section.

David,
The short answer to your question is that it is binding but there are outs for you such as the option period and financing addendums. But, you should get pre-approved with a reputable lender so you know payments and,especially in today's changing financial markets, the program(FHA,conventional) so you are informed with how much down and whether buyer's closing costs assistance is needed.
But, your Realtor is just desperate to write a deal and not doing you any favors. Your Realtor needs to know what type of financing you are doing before he/she ever writes a contract. Typically, a seller will ask for a pre-qual letter anyway before accepting. They do not want to risk binding their home to someone who cannot truly purchase it.

I have a couple listed in Craig Ranch now...answer...very minimal in Craig Ranch North and actual depreciation due to Foreclosure in the Setllement and Hemmingway. These 2 area will be at least a 2 yr turn around and will depend on the overall market. The north section is almost completed and this has not been hit with the foreclosures as badly so the market is pretty normal overall.
if you have any other questions on the area feel free to contact me directly

The short answer to the foreclosure question is that the builder sold the units to out of town investors who rented them out thinking the value in the area is going to increase like California and Las Vegas but that did not happen. Thus, property taxes come due and they do not have any equity in these properties and the rent does not cover the excess cost...so, now you have short sales and foreclosures. I am working with an investor now buying a foreclosure there and also have another foreclosure listed in the complex.
As stated by the previous agents, Cooper is separate fee.
