Owning and operating a real estate agency is a second career for me, I started DFWCityhomes in 2004 when I could see the road at my corporate job coming to an end. With 25 years in technology, finance, and marketing, I was determined to control my own destiny in my next career. My passion for real estate began as a teenager in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In one of my part-time high school jobs I was a laborer on a construction site. Eventually I worked my way up to be a full-fledged framer and fell in love with the idea of owning my own home someday. If the construction industry had not fallen apart due to the oil crisis of the early 70s I might have become a home builder.
