Pa rum pum pum pum, Ebby
Ebby Halliday Companies, celebrating its 80th anniversary, is energizing agents and drumming up business with a rocking real estate rhythm.
The second-annual Ebby Halliday Companies Summit turned nearly 1,000 agents from across North and East Texas into a massive drumline at the Winspear Opera House.
A spokesperson’s summary set the scene for what happened after volunteers armed all the agents with engraved drumsticks for a finale led by keynote speaker Clint Pulver, an Emmy Award-winning motivational speaker, author, and professional drummer.
Lights pulsed and music thundered as attendees from Ebby Halliday Realtors, Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate, and Williams Trew pounded in unison with Pulver’s set, making the Winspear feel less like an opera house and more like a rock concert.
Sessions earlier in the day addressed how economics might shape the market in the year ahead and how agents in luxury markets across the country use relationships, creativity, and strategy to stay ahead.
“The EHC Summit is always one of the most energizing days of the year,” said Betsy Cameron, president of Ebby Halliday Companies. “This year, our agents walked away not only with fresh strategies and insights for today’s market, but also with a renewed pride in being part of the Ebby Halliday Companies’ legacy.”
Preston Royal reactions
Big changes brewing at one of Preston Hollow’s most prominent corners have the neighborhood buzzing.
Dallas firms Burk Interests and Greenway Investment Company are seeking a zoning change for a $650 million mixed-use project at the southwest corner of Preston Road and Royal Lane, the Dallas Morning News reported.
The developers would replace what some have long considered an eyesore with soaring high-rises, public green space, and high-end amenities.
Plans include a 28-story hotel and condo tower, a second 24-story residential building, upscale restaurants, sleek office spaces, and more than 100 new trees. Groundbreaking isn’t expected until at least 2028.
A call to Greenway for comment has gone unanswered.
