(IRVING, TX – June 22, 2008) – Richardson has long attracted businesses and professionals because of its technology centers as part of the Telecom Corridor. The established city has also served as a beacon for families yearning for a high quality of life with a central location. The sales professionals with the Richardson Regional office of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage – Dallas/Fort Worth (CBDFW), say Richardson has many different housing options and they are available to help consumers with their real estate needs.
 
“The Richardson Regional office serves one of the most active residential markets in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and for many years has set the standard for quality of life, exceptional schools and a solid community atmosphere,” says Sue Meyer, president and chief operating officer of CBDFW. “Our associates work this expansive quadrant of the metroplex from North Dallas to Garland and Mesquite, northward to McKinney and surrounding rural areas.”
 
The extension of DART into Richardson stations, the completed expansion of Central Expressway and the completion of the George Bush Turnpike across the northern boundary have provided state-of-the-art transportation here. The addition of Galatyn Park Urban Center in Richardson’s Telecom Corridor is another of the most recent urban developments.
 
“The Galatyn Park Urban Center and the Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts and Corporation Presentations are magnets, attracting people from throughout North Texas who attend concerts, theatrical performances and business meetings in a 117,000-square-foot, multi-purpose public facility,” says Ms. Denise Ackerman, co-manager of the Richardson office. 
 
“Richardson has an active and highly popular symphony, a great library system, wonderful shopping, dining and entertainment – and it’s all couched in a great ‘sophisticated small-town’ atmosphere,” says John DiGiovanni, co-manager of the Richardson office.
 
The city has also seen an increase in mixed-use developments and other projects in the city. Money Magazine named Richardson at the “15th Best Place to Live in 2006. 
 
Residential options range from historical properties that were part of the early settlement of the community to master-planned neighborhoods with golf courses and country clubs, plus everything in between. CBDFW sales associates have a magnificent array of diversity, geography, home styles and neighborhoods to offer homebuyers.
 
Several Richardson Regional agents in the office are members of the Realtors Supporting Richardson Schools (RSRS) group. 
 
“The numerous real estate professionals in this group come together to support the schools in Richardson through awareness, events and fundraisers,” says David Scarbrough, CBDFW agent and RSRS member.
