Our Roots

Our banner showcases a vintage family photograph taken nearly a century ago at a 1926 picnic for Franklin grocery business in El Paso, Texas. This cherished image features my grandfather, one of the founders of NewWay Markets, a grocery chain that was acquired by Safeway in 1928. As his grandchild, I'm honored to uphold his legacy and follow in his footsteps. In the photo, my grandfather sits on the left side of the bottom row, wearing a white shirt, tie, and hat while crossing his legs. Seated to his right are my grandmother, uncles, and father, creating a beloved family memento.

Our History

In 2004, I embarked on a new career in real estate after spending 25 years in technology, finance, and sales, which proved to be highly rewarding. As my corporate journey drew to a close, I felt compelled to take charge of my destiny. Real estate had been a lifelong passion of mine, dating back to my formative years in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Starting out as a laborer on a construction site, I worked my way up to become a framer. I was fascinated by the process of building homes and even considered pursuing a career as a home builder. However, the construction industry was hit hard by the oil crisis of the early 1970s, prompting me to explore other professional avenues. Eventually, my passion for real estate led me to establish DFWCityhomes.

Our Strategy

When I first entered the real estate market during a time of prosperity, my focus was on flipping houses to make a profit. In an effort to minimize my expenses, I decided to obtain my real estate license. However, I quickly realized that assisting others in buying and selling homes was far more fulfilling. This realization motivated me to acquire my license and transform DFWCityhomes into a full-fledged real estate company. In 2009, we re-evaluated our business model with the aim of competing against traditional real estate agents. We introduced a flat fee pricing option that rivaled those offered by big box brokers. The success of this strategy has filled me with a tremendous sense of accomplishment.
