“Real estate professionals with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage – Dallas/Fort Worth (CBDFW) can help you make the decision on a home easier with their professional guidance whether it’s at the beginning or end of one’s search,” says Sue Meyer, president and chief operating officer of CBDFW. 
 
Debbie Branch, real estate professional in the Rockwall office of CBDFW, has helped numerous customers find that perfect home in Rockwall and surrounding communities. From condominiums, townhomes, luxury homes and lake houses – Ms. Branch has assisted all kinds of buyers. She is currently working with Van Rittenhouse to find a home for him in Rockwall. He has relied on Ms. Branch two previous times because of her superior service in helping him searching for a home.
 
“The first time I transferred from Maryland and Debbie did an awesome job and she knew the area perfectly,” says Mr. Rittenhouse. “She is very knowledgeable and is also looking out for my best interest. Debbie and Coldwell Banker will locate the ideal home for me.”
 
Ms. Branch and other CBDFW professionals talk to customers and often make checklists of the kind of amenities and other things desirable in a home. They recommend you consider what you need in a home that will best fit your family. By listing what you really want and creating a side-by-side comparison of homes you will help narrow down your best choices. 
 
“When you make notes of these features it’s important to place first the amenities and other items you may desire in a house,” says Ms. Branch. “This will help when you look at numerous homes and begin to narrow down the houses as well.”
 
Coldwell Banker professionals can also create a Comparable Market Analysis (CMA) to locate the right neighborhood or home for a potential homeowner. The Realtors then come in to help narrow the selection process. Through CBDFW.COM, customers can also sign up for e-mails that have new listings that meet their specific requirements. 
 
Mr. Rittenhouse and other customers have also found the CBDFW.COM Navigator program an ideal tool to narrow down choices. It allows people to pinpoint, locate and compare homes in a desired neighborhood through Microsoft Virtual Earth. A Realtor’s professional guidance then can help one make the best selection.
 
“Debbie and Coldwell Banker have been the best Realtor and company I have worked with over the years,” says Mr. Rittenhouse.
