OpenWhat Garland means by insight
Insight is not an opinion with a chart behind it. It is the same data Garland uses in client meetings: median prices by community, days on market, and what similar homes actually sold for. Dallas proper sits near a $550K median, while Princeton offers entry points around $315K and Lucas and Parker run $1M and up. That range is the whole point of comparing markets, not averaging them.
The same rule applies to strategy. Garland's 14-day-or-less selling plan works because the marketing plan is written before you sign. His seller-plus-investor pairing works because both sides are real: FSBO, expired, and distress sellers on one side, qualified DFW investors on the other.
