D Mag Throws Real Estate Agent Shindig and I Hear a New Theory on the Bush’s New Home

My D Magazine brethren were gracious enough to invite me to last night’s Best Real Estate Agents of 2008 party to celebrate this year’s list of the best agents in town,

Now, when I say invite, I mean someone outside the company told me about the party, and I heckled an invitation out of the folks downstairs. But I digress.

All in all, it was a fun event. It was held at the Mansion, and was a virtual smorgasbord of who’s who in real estate in Dallas. Good times.

In the midst of all my schmoozing, I talked to a few real estate agents, and the topic of the President and Laura Bushes new home came up.

One agent theorized that they would forego a home, and instead buy a condo either on Turtle Creek, or maybe even Victory Park. This same agent suggested the Bushes wouldn’t want to live in the Park Cities, because they would want to maintain the image of living “in Dallas,” and limit their association to Park Cities big money.

All of this is obviously pure speculation, but an interesting theory nonetheless. Not sure if I agree with the condo idea, just because that seems like it would make security more difficult, but it would be interesting if the Bush Jr. moved into Ross Perot Jr.’s Victory Park development.

As for avoiding appearances by not living in the Park Cities, once you’re done being president, do you really care what people think about you? I know I wouldn’t.
