About Me
2008 Real Estate Magazine Top 50 Realtors on the Rise. 2008/09 Biltmore Who's Who Among Women Business Executives. 2007/08 Montclair Who's Who VIP in the Real Estate Industry. 2007 Top 100 agents in the Century 21 brand in the North Texas Region, Masters Emerald Producer, Frisco Office voted Ronda most helpful to other agents, Centurion Club Member, Corporate Relocation Specialist, Sellers and Buyers. Originally from Southern California, Ronda moved to DFW in the 1970's. This regional knowledge of the area makes her exceptionally skilled to help incoming buyers who don't want to go into corporate housing or temporary living conditions. She is also a top listing agent, able to compare and contrast the cities where she lists - primarily in the North Dallas suburbs - and use the internet to maximize exposure for any home. Ronda is well known for establishing new high sales in her listing areas, even when nay-sayers think it won't happen. Ronda harnesses the power of the internet to give each home the highest level of exposure in the shortest amount of time. Market conditions don't mean a lot to agents who have the right marketing tools. Listings rise above the competition and get noticed and sold in spite of media gloom and doom. DFW is an area of inward migration. We are home to a high number of Fortune 500 corporations, and they move buyers in and out every year. With a 60-year pattern of appreciation at about 1%, DFW never was part of the real estate double-digit inflation bubble, and we're known as the best part of the country to buy in 2008 and also the best part of the country to become a millionaire. When your cost of living is lower than most of the country, it is a lot easier to build wealth.
Testimonials
""Hey Ronda, We got your thank you card and were a bit surprised that you were thanking us. We are definitely the ones who should be sending you cards and candy and flowers. You really helped us a lot with a big move. If it wasn't for you, we would not have found a house we liked before we returned to Omaha to pack up. You even found us a lender that rocked when ours let us down. You went above and beyond doing your job, and we are really impressed and thankful. I don't know if you do that for all your clients, but we felt special. We love our house and we love Cedar Hill. Thank you so, so, so much!" Elnora and Antwynn Berry"
E. Berry Mon Nov 19, 2007
""Ronda interviewed six agents in San Francisco to find just the right one she felt would listen to our needs and take care of us there the same way she took care of us in Texas. We tell all our friends and family to let Ronda interview their Realtor, too. She knows the right questions to ask, and we get a nice gift certificate each time we send her someone to help. We know she'll treat them right." Jason Cairn"

"“We don't consider Ronda our Realtor. She's our friend, who happens to sell real estate. She's thoughtful of our time, and, she treats us like family.” Shari Matthews"

"Ronda, I'm glad everything worked out with Chad on his house in The Colony. We told him we loved you, and he said he loved working with you, too. Let's get together next week and talk about expanding my garage and things you think I should look out for as we get that project started. Thanks! C. Kenney of Oak Point, TX"

Elizabeth, Home Buyer in 76179

Effects of backing out of a new construction contract?

Asked Wed Nov 12 2008, 11:42 by Elizabeth  -  76179  -  Home Buying  -  5 answers
Ronda Allen answered:
Elizabeth, are you sure your new home will still appraise for it's contract value? Did you guys go nuts at the design center with too many upgrades that you are now re-thinking? It can happen. Every builder's contract is different for new construction. They don't typically use our Texas Real Estate Commission standard contract. Read the fine print carefully to know what is at stake. If you didn't have an agent representing you at the time of purchase, that doesn't stop you from having a conversation with an agent now. There are questions we can ask that would not be appropriate in a public setting to help you determine if this is just cold feet or if you really may have over-purchased. Better to deal with it now - and the sooner the better. I just helped one couple get out of their home (different circumstances) six weeks before their home was finished. They did forfeit their earnest money and almost half of their upgrade money because the house was almost complete. Have also gotten people out of the contract much earlier - in the first few weeks and before the slab was poured - where the builder just handed back the earnest money and wished us well. You never know for sure how it will go, and it doesn't hurt to try to get at least a portion of your funds back. - Wed Nov 12 2008, 12:08
d1215, Home Buyer in Irving

How are Cary Clarke Homes in Tuscan Ridge. Also, what type of price should i expect for a 3000sf home. Thanks.

Ronda Allen answered:
I just want to throw this out there in case you are considering resale in Southlake, too. Builders, like Team 3 Homes, are doing renovation projects and not just new construction of custom homes. These builders in Southlake are so creative and are used to working on million dollar properties. If you find a resale home that is 80% of your criteria, talk to some of the builders about taking it the rest of the way to what you envision. I've seen some amazing transformations of resale homes through the years. - Wed Nov 12 2008, 11:56

Ronda Allen answered:
ActiveRain and Trulia Agent2Agent are great places to bounce ideas off and generate new tips for your business. I also use 21online.com, but that's specific to my brokerage brand. Their interactive CLS classes are so helpful. - Wed Nov 12 2008, 11:51
Padmini, Home Buyer in Frisco

How is the sales trend of townhomes in frisco? Will I be able to sell it for a good margin in 3-5 years?

Asked Sun Nov 9 2008, 19:52 by Padmini  -  Frisco  -  Market Conditions  -  6 answers
Ronda Allen answered:
Townhome and duplex products in Frisco haven't shown to have high rates of return in the short-term, but they are a relatively new product to our area. We are mostly single family homes, and in some cases you can buy a 4-bedroom single family home for less than a 3-bedroom townhome. Rule of investment is to make the wisest purchase with the greatest potential at resale. In Frisco, that still points to single family homes. - Wed Nov 12 2008, 11:46
