Long meadow farms is a great and growing neighborhood. Lamar Consolidated does not have the best press, but I do know Frost, teachers, and the principal there. Great school. Here is my bit about using realtors. I believe a good realtor is is worth a lot. They help you clarify your needs, narrow your search, and help you find the right home. Also, they can search comps to figure out what's reasonable in terms of offers, ask the right questions, and ensure you get the most desirable features for your home. However, Builders pay realtors for introducing them to their neighborhood, the builder and the home. If you have already done all that...if you were the builder, why would you pay that realtor? If you are a good negotiator, know about homes, you can probably do this on your own. Large companies like Ryland have good processes in line. Remember, 3% is paid to the realtor which directly affects their bottom line. If you were selling your own home, would you be more flexible on pricing if you didnt have to pay an additional 3%? I dont know David Flory, but he has a great reputation. My two cents...
