Terri was the #1 Sales Counselor for one of the Top 20 Builders in the Nation and an expert in new homes. She negotiated the new home transaction between the buyer and seller in 100's of transactions for years and really excels at getting you what you want at the best price possible. So, it only makes sense that she decided in 2008 to join her husband, Robert, at the # 1 real estate sales offices in Dallas - Keller Williams Preston Road office where we closed $791 million in sales last year alone.
My husband, Robert Hayley, and I work as a team. Be sure to look him up on Trulia. We have another website at
http://www.hayleynewhomes.com where you can read more about us. He does more of the commercial side, but works with me on the residential side of things, too. We absolutely light up at helping you find your dream home and/or selling your home and getting into the home of your dreams. How is it different working with us? You will be hard pressed to find a team who will listen more meticulously to your needs, try harder to fulfill them, genuinely care more about you and your family's happiness, who are native Texans with a broad scope deep knowledge of the North Texas area, and will negotiate on your behalf with whatever level of ferocity the situation requires to get your needs met. One of my dearest friends calls me "nail, hammer, wall" as once I put my mind to a task (such as finding someone the home of their dreams), I pursue it relentlessly and I don't let the others involved (apprasier, title, mortgage co, etc.) fall behind on their jobs either and we get it all accomplished within the timeline we put forth from the beginning. A nice way of saying it is that I've got bulldog tenacity. ;) I've got laser like focus on my clients and my husband is awesome at doing the CMA's, crunching the numbers, pulling statistics on neighborhoods, and any other data you could need - all without a calculator!
"Hi Terri,
Hope everything is going well over there in Texas. Things are going well here on our side in California.
Terri I just wanted to let you know how nice it was working with you. You were so quick with all the correspondence that we did on the phone, fax and especially with the e-mails.
It was a pleasure buying from you.
Well talk to ya later"

"My business is to find dedication, commitment, competence and most of all character for my clients. I set up homebuyers and sellers with high quality Realtors that have shown these qualities and it has been my pleasure to get to know Terri and Robert Hayley. I would not hesitate to match a client with the Hayley’s because I know they will always go the extra mile. Knowing this reassures me that my clients are in good hands when I find a match for Terri and Robert. If you are considering a Realtor for your real estate needs I strongly encourage you to place your trust in these high character people."

"Terri -
My husband and I want to thank you for all that you have done for us during the construction of our new home. You have made the process very smooth and easy. I hope that your company knows how much of an asset you are. It's not very often that people come in contact with sales personnel that really care. You are the reason why I will refer family and friends to you and Heatherwood. I am truly a "Raving Fan.""

I highly recommend Terri and or Robert with Keller Williams and will ALWAYS utilize their services. If you need help with any and all categories pertaining to real estate, banking or networking you are cutting yourself short if you don’t utilize the expertise of Terri and Robert Hayley; 214.417.0801. Trust me, I know."

"Terri was my real-estate agent for finding and buying our (my husband’s and my) first home. I have to say, we thought that this process was going to be absolutly brutal but, it wasn’t. Terri and her husband Robert were there with us every step of the way reassuring us and guiding us. They are wonderful people who really do care. Terri and Robert knew exactly what we wanted even though we weren’t very clear on stating it. These people are awesome and I would recommend them and their services to anyone looking for or trying to sell a home. I’ve had nothing but a great time and a fantastic journey looking for our first home. They have made our dream become a reality!! I’ll definitely use Terri's services the next time we decide to buy or sell a home."

"Dear Terri,
Just wanted to thank you for all your hard work over the last year. I can't believe we started looking at 100's of models a year ago. Although building a house is stressful, you kept us updated on everything so I could relax a little. I am really happy we chose Pioneer to build our home and that we built in Heatherwood. We love the mix between country, small town feeling of Prosper and the "bigger" city of McKinney. Thanks for always getting us a quick answer to our questions and "holding our hands" during the 6 months we were building. It was nice to know that someone with integrity was our salesperson. I'm glad we can still see you around the neighborhood. Take care and thanks again!"

"Hi Terri,
Happy new year, i hope you and your family are doing well. I wanted to use this opportunity to thank you for all you did to make my family's dream of purchasing our own home come true for us this christmas. It was our best gift ever and i have you to thank. From the time i walked into your office you received me with open arms, i never knew anything about home buying, but by the time we closed i had enough knowledge and confidence in myself. At first plans went as planned until almost at the end when my credit score was lower than when we started. Thank you again for your hope and perseverance, i was to be honest with you hopeless. I still remember getting that call that said "let's try this guy i think he will be able to do it". Reluctantly i said yes,you even involved your husband in helping me on how to start paying off my credit cards. I would tell anyone that wants to listen how good you do you job and how you make your clients happy, because i was one of them. My children and i appreciate all you did for us.
Remain blessed!"

Investor123.,
LaVillita is a proven consistent attractor and it's at close-out with single family homes w/Darling and K. Hov. Portrait still has some new town homes for sale. When it finishes, you won't be competing against any of the builders. Positano is newer and it'll take a while for North American Properties to sell out. However, if you're planning on holding it for at least 5 years, they'll be sold out by then, too.
Positano also has a cabana w/a lounge and fitness center, pool/spa, sand volleyball, and BBQ grills. La Villita has the lake (however you can not swim, fish or do anything in it), greenbelt and then a pool and park coming. Both of these which would be very attractive to a young, active, social type tenant who tends to be the demographic moving to the area. The only amenity that Riverside will have is greenbelts, walking trails and possibly a park. In the Lakes of Las Colinas, there will be water features, but these are going to be north of $700k single family homes. Not your typical rental area.
La Villita has been around longer, so it has more ability to provide an appreciation factor. Positano doesn't really have that yet. Check out my blog below. No one has a crystal ball and can guarantee you a certain appreciation factor. However, based on past performance, the new communities coming to the area and the fact that Irving is supposed to grow to 5 million people by 2011 w/an average income of $109k p/year, nice appreciation looks like a good possibility.
We also just helped a client save more than $45k on his brand new town home in the Valley Ranch area. We work this area all the time and would be happy to provide any further info. you'd like.
Thanks,

Hi Kara,
How long do you plan on living there? Do you really want the hand scraped hardwoods, or are you just doing it for resale? What subdivision are you in?
If you are planning on on moving soon, I'd definitely check out your competition - the other homes people would consider buying in lieu of yours. That will tell you what is being offered in the marketplace and how best you can compete. For example, if you see that everyone else has granite counter tops and an under mount sink and you don't, you may rather spend your money doing that upgrade instead.
If you really want them and will enjoy them, put them in. Especially if you're going to stay there a while. I don't know which subdivision you are in, but if it's Shaddock Creek, Griffin Parc, or someplace like that, you should be good. If you are in a subdivision where the average price is $150, then you may not make your money back on them.
You can look at our website and check the MLS for listings in your area and it's updated daily on our power pages link.
Does this help?
Thanks,
Terri Hayley - Tue Jul 22 2008, 08:53
Jackie,
That's going to be a tall order. Most of the 3/2's in McKinney are around $175. (I've sold about 300 homes in McKinney.) Then, to put it in a specific school system is even harder. We can try for you, though. I'm walking out the door, but e-mail me and I can set up a search for you.
Thanks,

Terri is a native Texan who married a native Texan and had a native Texan. Not too many of us around! We can give you an unparalleled perspective on the metroplex! She has 20 years of business knowledge in public relations and real estate. Terri has been highly successful in this territory for years and was the #1 Sales Counselor for one of the Top 20 Builders in the nation while maintaining 98% customer satisfaction. Terri is intimately aware of the style, quality and niche of most of the D/FW builders and can help you negotiate the best deal on the planet! As a team, we work with home buyers, sellers, investors and commercial accounts. Working in new homes, I tend to be in the areas where new construction is hot - McKinney, Prosper, Frisco, Allen, Lucas, Keller, Alliance Corridor, Highland Park scrapes and townhomes, Las Colinas, Irving, The Colony, and Plano are some.
With North Texas Real Estate Services, you're not limited to new construction; however, because some of the same principles apply in re-sale homes. We meticulously work with you on a check list to find out what your needs are in your home, diligently go through all our sources for previously loved homes - some that haven't even hit the market yet - to find just the right home for you, thoroughly check out the construction of the houses for you, refer you to all the vendors you will need - ie inspectors, mortgage company, title company, movers, etc, and will make the transaction as smooth and seamless as possible for you. My husband, Robert, is awesome at the number crunching, comps, and listing your home in 5 bazillion places at once. We've worked with people who had homes listed in other countries and were making international moves, so we know what it takes to help a family move across the ocean or across the street. We are blessed to have our clients and their referrals. We want to work with you, your children and your children's children and to earn that business by offering phenomonal client service.
