Your Dallas County REALTOR from First Call to Closing
Sell or buy with a native Dallasite’s local knowledge, hard negotiation and one agent who guides you personally to closing.
Buy or Sell a Home in Dallas County
Dallas County real estate runs from in-town Dallas neighborhoods to the suburbs around them, with established communities, newer developments and quick access to major highways. I work across it, including:
If you want to buy a home in Dallas County, I help you compare areas on commute, HOA details and price before you choose. If you want to sell your home in Dallas County, I price it from recent sales near you, get it show-ready and negotiate hard on every offer.
Choosing Your Dallas County REALTOR
Local knowledge
I am a native Texan and Dallasite, and I have lived in Creek Crossing Estates in Mesquite since 2002. I write my own neighborhood guides, and I know these neighborhoods block by block.
Hard negotiation
Like a dog with a bone, I go hard for my clients! For one Mesquite seller, an offer at $10,000 over asking. For Forney buyers, a price reduction plus a $20,000 builder contribution to closing costs.
One agent, reachable
You work with me from the first call to the closing table. I hold the ABR, GRI and GREEN designations, and my clients say I answer at any time of day.
What Buyers and Sellers Say About Their Results
“She answered our calls at any time of day and was on top of it. She helped us sell our home and buy our new FOREVER home. I am a police officer for Dallas County and love coming home from a stressful day at work. Marilyn’s hard work definitely paid off.”
Sylvia T. • Dallas County, TX
“She worked with an attorney and spent numerous hours working out the details of the eviction process and even being there every minute in the courthouse when needed. We were able to extract the most value from the sale of the property even though the market had tanked.”
Roger S. • Dallas, TX
“She worked day in and day out to fight for us to get our dream home that we finally closed on. She WILL advocate for you to the fullest and is assertive and persistent with her negotiations.”
Jessica S. • Irving, TX
Each result above is one client’s own outcome. It is not a promise of price, timing or terms for your move.
A Clear Plan to Closing Day
We talk
Your goals, your timeline and your numbers, in one conversation.
I set the strategy
A comparative market analysis and a preparation list if you are selling. A pre-approval and a short list of homes if you are buying.
I negotiate
Price, repairs, closing costs and terms.
We close
I watch escrow, inspections and deadlines, keep a backup plan, and stay with you to the closing table.
Questions About Buying and Selling in Dallas County
How long will it take to sell my home?
No agent can honestly promise a date. It depends on your price, your home’s condition and the market the week you list.
What I control is the preparation: a price built from recent comparable sales, a home that is show-ready before the first photo, and marketing that starts the day you list. One client’s home sold within eight hours of reaching the open market, and a Mesquite seller had an offer in under 24 hours. Those are their results, not a guarantee of yours.
How do I start buying a home in Dallas County?
Start with a mortgage pre-approval. It tells you what you can afford and shows a seller your offer is real. If you do not have a lender, I can refer you to ones my clients have used.
Then call me. We talk through your budget, your commute and your must-haves, I set up tours, and when you find the home I write the offer, negotiate the price and repairs, and stay with you through closing.
