I have closed 480+ DFW transactions and I hold the Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist and Accredited Luxury Home Specialist designations. Th

What Relocation Buyers Miss About the DFW Luxury Market Buyers arriving at the top of this market are usually experienced. They have bought and sold before, often more than once, and they arrive with a working model of how a purchase goes. That model is the problem.
