BILL CHERRY'S GREATEST DALLAS PARK CITIES REAL ESTATE BLOG: THE SECRET LISTING - 3405 SAINT JOHNS DRIVE, HIGHLAND PARK

THE SECRET LISTING - 3405 SAINT JOHNS DRIVE, HIGHLAND PARK

3405 SAINT JOHNS DRIVE

$1,925,000

Financing Available

Here's the story.

My friends, patent attorney and novel writer, David Tannenbaum, and his wife Mary called about a week ago.

"Bill, we've been living in our townhome in the West End for a year, and we really love living in the dynamic part of Dallas.  So we're going to sell our Highland Park home.  Stop by and let's get it listed," David said by phone.

Well, the Highland Park home has a swell family as tenants, and no one wants to disturb them during the holidays, so David and Mary asked me not to put the listing on the MLS or a sign in the yard or make a full-blown marketing program for it until after the first of the year.

Now if you know me, you know I don't sit on my hands and do nothing very well, and we're talking about a whole month of that.  So I called the residents to see what they thought about a few prospects sneaking a peak.

Ashley told me that she and her husband wouldn't mind if we showed it during the holidays, but she wants me to make double-sure that the prospects are really qualified to purchase it. 

So here's where we are on the financing.  I have financing arranged for a qualified buyer at 30% down, 6.50% for 30 years.  So at the listed price, a purchaser will need $577,500 in cash plus the closing costs.

OK, Active Rain members!  You're officially approved to schedule showings before it goes into MLS.  You can get the details on my website by clicking here.  Call me when you're ready.

Hi Bill... WHAT A GREAT LISTING!  It looks like a gem from the outside, I bet the inside shows nicely too.  Let me see if I can come up with anyone!

Steve and David --

I lived in big, expensive homes for most of my adult life.  When Patty and I married, I had already downsized to my Galveston bayou home.  And we decided then that we wouldn't go BIG again.  And we kept that resolve when we moved to Dallas.

All of this to say, I'm lusting to own this house!  It is perfect in every way.  But Patty keeps reminding me that we have no use for a five bedroom home, and she likes where we are just fine, and on and on....

She's right, of course, but you can take what I've just written as an honest evaluation and testimony.  I've seen many Highland Park homes.  This would be my overwhelming choice.
