Location Characteristics: The Town of Flower Mound is a beautiful north central Texas town, and held the title of the "Second Fastest Growing City in Texas" for much of the 90's. Flower Mound's low tax rate, excellent school system, safe neighborhoods, and a quality of life hard to find in any community make it one of the premier cities in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex to live and raise a family. The population of Flower Mound has grown from 15,527 in 1990 to an estimated 63,000 in 2005. Flower Mound's location - in close proximity to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Alliance Airport at the heart of the "golden triangle" - along with develop-ment-ready land has contributed to this phenomenal growth.

Located in Southern Denton County, Flower Mound encompasses 44 square miles in the heart of the Metroplex and is approximately 45% developed. Flower Mound takes pride in being a leader in managed growth, quality of life, and being environmentally sensitive.

Flower Mound is named after a prominent, 12.5-acre mound once covered with blue stem grasses and a variety of indigenous flowers. Historians believe the mound was a sacred ceremonial ground used by Wichita Indians dating back to the early 1800's. This unusual piece of land, located near the intersection of FM 3040 and FM 2499, is now a historical site.

Flower Mound is situated at the southern edge of Denton County, Texas. The town is 28 miles northwest of Dallas, 25 miles northeast of Fort Worth, and three miles north of DFW International Airport, making it "ten minutes from anywhere in the world."

Uniquely located between two large lakes, Lake Grapevine on the southern border of Flower Mound and Lake Lewisville just minutes to the north, Flower Mound is also home to one of the largest natural hardwood forests in the United States, the Cross Timbers Region, and offers a tremendous diversity of lifestyles in which to live, work and play.

About Warren Beckmann:
When selecting an agent to work with when it comes to buying or selling a home, there are numerous questions that you what answers to. Of these, the two that should be of most concern to you are.
(1) How long have they been a Realtor?
(2) What are they going to do for me?

Obviously the second should be of most concern to you. However to answer the first, I am in my nineth year as a licensed real estate professional. Over this time frame I have worked with a lot of Buyers and Sellers and offer plenty of experience. I have helped clients purchase new homes from Builders, and I have assisted clients with less than prefect credit. I have also work with a number of foreclosure and short sale listings.

What am I going to do for you? Buyers, any agent can show you available inventory. Helping you to find the right home is what I do. I listen to you, I figure out your wants and needs are and then find it for you. Sellers, any agent can list you home on the MLS. Be careful about hiring the discount agent or one that seems desperate to get you listing. Some agents will give you the three Ps, Put a sign in front of your house, Put it on the MLS and Pray that someone makes you an offer. Properly marketing your home requires a number of things, to numerous to list here, but contract me for details.

NEGOTIATING, this is what I do for you. Whether you are buying or selling, working the offer, negotiating to get you the best price terms and conditions. Once we have a contract I keep in contact with the other agent, the title company and the mortgage company to ensure that we get to closing with as few complications as possible.

Now a little about myself, I was born in Kansas in 1961, the son of a Kansas farmer. Yes I am a farm boy; I still have the honor, integrity and work ethics that were instilled in me growing up a rural American country boy. I moved to north Texas in January 1987, worked for several different companies while attending local colleges. Started a small business in January 1990, got my real estate license in 2000 and sold my business in 2002 and have been a full time Realtor ever since. Over the years I have gotten to know the DFW areas, especially north Dallas, Collin and Denton county areas and the local real estate markets extremely well. For more information on me visit www.BeckmannRealEstate.com

Finally, I believe what others say about me is more important that anything I can say about myself. So I’m attaching below a number of referrals from some past clients. I do hope that you will choose me as your REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Warren Beckmann

Letters from past clients.

RE: WARREN BECKMANN

I would like to highly recommend the services of Warren Beckmann as real estate expert and real estate agent. Mr. Beckmann helped with a cross-country relocation and helped with the purchase and all that is involved in the purchase of a new home. He was able to negotiate a wonderful purchase price for us and helped us in countless ways with the little details that always follow a move.

He was a pleasure and comfort to work with and we would use his services again without hesitation.

Sincerely,

Fred and Vicki Fichman

A Testimonial for Warren Beckman

We recently bought a house in Carrollton and then listed and sold our previous Carrollton home – both with Warren’s assistance. We had been contemplating making a move for a long time and had a specific list of “must haves” in the new house. Warren was very efficient in finding homes that met our criteria, scheduling the viewings, grouping them together to minimize the time we spent. After the first couple of houses Warren had good insight as to what would work for us and helped appraise and critique each listing. We selected our new home and negotiated the purchase price over two weekends. Warren was knowledgeable about the contracts, the estimate of closing costs, the timetable to closing, and also had good advice on the inspectors to use to complete the sale.

When we had our previous house ready to market Warren was right on top of it. We had over 60 showings and 6 offers in just over two weeks. With Warren’s advice we priced it right, sold for more than our asking price, and moved it quickly.

We found Warren to be easily accessible and focused on the process. When you want results you need Warren on your side -you won’t go wrong using Warren for your real estate transactions.

Rose and James Payne

Warren,

We love our home, neighborhood, and new friends. Your, knowledge of North Dallas was unsurpassed. Your advice and guidance was of utmost help in finding our new home, however your help has not stopped there. You have continued to be a source of knowledge and advice after the sale, and we so much appreciate your help. Aside from our professional relationship we consider you a friend. We wish you the very best.

Thank you,

Don & Brenda Whatley

Dear Warren,

Thank you for the great job you did in representing us in the sale of our home. We were very pleased with the number of showings. We feel that was the results of your web site. You made it appealing for people to want to see. The time frame was just what you said it would probably take to sell it. We had 56 showings (counting the ones you personally and I showed it) It was approximately 60 days till it actually sold and it was to a family that was the 4th one to look at it. (They had to sell their home first) You stayed right on top of everything, kept us well informed about what was going on. Even if you had nothing to report, you still called and touched base with me.

I especially enjoyed the CSS site that I could view. See the number of showing and the comments of the prospective buyers, that way you could also see who actually showed your home. Most of the time I didn't understand the name of the realtor that CSS had said when they gave me the courtesy call. I visited the site almost everyday to see if you had updated it with additional comments. I really appreciated the weekly calls you made just touching base and letting us know you were still there working for us.

Thanks a Million

James and Mary Watterson


Dear Warren.

I just wanted to take a second to say how much I appreciate you working so hard to get us into a house. You were always very helpful and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we had the house of our dreams. Once we found that house you made sure everything went smooth and even though I was on vacation during this process, I had nothing to worry about. You even referred me to great people for the Loan and Insurance part. Thanks for everything!!!! I will tell anyone looking to buy or sell to talk to you.

Michael Jones,

To all those in need of a great Realtor,

In today's turbulent market, I was more than a little apprehensive when seeking to purchase my first home. I was unsure of Real Estate values, financing options, as well as the general logistics of purchasing a home. I needed someone to take me through the process slowly and point out the potential pitfalls. Luckily, I retained the services of Warren Beckmann. He provided me with all of this and more. He was able to quickly find a property that met my criteria and then assisted me in negotiating the best price!

The bottom line is: Warren Beckmann saved me several thousand dollars. I would encourage anyone looking for a sound realtor to call Warren...!

Sincerely,

Rod T. Georges


To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to take this opportunity to applaud the efforts of Warren Beckman with Keller Williams Realty. Warren assisted me on the sale and purchase of a new home in the north Carrollton area. He was professional and thorough throughout the process.

Warren also provided several excellent loan broker options. I really appreciated his expertise in this area and was very impressed with his references and the loan broker that I ended up working with.

In the end I had a satisfying experience due to Warren's expertise and negotiations on my behalf. I would highly recommend Warren to friends and colleagues.

Sincerely,

Laurie Pennington

Dear Warren:

My husband and I would like to take this opportunity to let you know how much we appreciate your assistance with our multiple closings. Your professional approach was effective, efficient and mutually beneficial during this process.

We would also like to thank you for your patience in assisting us with the understanding of both the purchase and sale of our homes. This was our first experience of this type and you guided us through this transaction with ease.

We wish you much success in the future.

Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Dan & Angie O’Dell’s


Hi Warren!

Just wanted to say "THANK YOU" for all your special efforts and perseverance in helping us find our Dream Home! My wife and I had specific ideas as to what we wanted and, how much we could afford, and you helped make everything happen, working around our schedules and not giving up! When it looked like we were difficult to please, you listened to us and could understand exactly what we were looking for, and then went out and found it! If you ever need a recommendation, please feel free to call.

Sincerely

Charles & Alecia Mayes

To whom it may concern:

This letter is intended to offer my highest praise for my (now and the rest of my life) real estate agent Warren Beckman. I was destitute of hope and money concerning my house. When I purchased my house, I lacked the wisdom to use a real estate agent and instead bought straight from the builder. Throughout the course of 4 years, the property value of my home steadily decreased while my mortgage payments increased. It got to the point where I was broke and had to sell a worthless house. In my search for an agent to sell, I found out very quickly that no one wanted help me sell a loser house for a low price.

By some miracle, Warren called me and wanted to talk about the house. He was the only agent I had spoken to with an interest in helping me. He warned me of the unlikely outcome of actually getting it sold, but vowed to help. His energy and enthusiasm despite the unlikely circumstances inspired me. For several months, as the house went into the foreclosure process, Warren gave me weekly updates on interested buyers. The intensity of the situation grew when I got the letter stating the date of the foreclosure. Even though one deal fell through, Warren kept to his word and continued trying to sell. To my amazement, he found more buyers. To make this letter short and sweet, Warren got it sold! Even when the bank threw in one obstacle after another, Warren took care of it. Warren, THANK YOU!!

Sincerely and eternally impressed,

Rachelle Butcher
