Home in Collin County

Things have seemed busy around the office these last several weeks.  The end of November had brought with it a lull:  a market-pause, if you will, of people waiting to hear news of an extended tax credit.  December came and went, ushering in a new January, and the new and improved tax credit which included existing homeowners.   The phones have not stopped ringing.  The open houses are bringing a flurry of interest (and some contracts being written in the living rooms).  Our keen buyers have been paying attention to the news, and they know this window of opportunity is golden and not forever...

Our Founder and Chairman of the Board has received almost every possible honor there is.  But today, Ebby adds a new and unique honor to her resume, her own elementary school.

DISD will break ground on Ebby Halliday Elementary at 10:30 am. 

Friday, the district will break ground for the new George Herbert Walker Bush Elementary School in Addison.

Learn all the details at the Ebby News Room. 

I am your constant companion.

I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.

I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.

I am completely at your command.

Half the things you do, you might just as well turn over to me, and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.

I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me.

Show me exactly how you want something done, and after a few lessons I will do it automatically.

I am the servant of all great men.

And, alas, of all failures as well.

Those who are great, I have made great.

Those who are failures, I have made failures.

I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine, plus the intelligence of a man.

You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin; it makes no difference to me.

Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will put the world at your feet.

Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.
