Brava Realty Encourages Drivers to Slow Down

Dallas REALTOR  Says “Drive Like  Your Kids Live Here”

Safer Streets Mean Better Home Values

Brava Realty is helping residents in the far north Dallas area of Prestonwood encourage drivers to slow down.

Kristine Baugh, Brava Realty’s owner/broker, is busy delivering dozens of free “Drive Like Your Kids Live Here®” signs to Prestonwood neighbors.  Baugh decided to take action after a recent discussion with neighbors about dangerous conditions caused by drivers speeding down streets and alleys. “It’s important to protect what’s precious to us, and that includes our children and pets,” she said.  “Also, home buyers do evaluate traffic conditions around listings.  Quiet streets are a definite advantage when selling your home.”

Neighbors volunteered to post Drive Like Your Kid Lives Here® signs to stop distracted and reckless driving in Prestonwood.  “One of the many wonderful things about Prestonwood is that we truly care about each other and our neighborhood,” Baugh said.  “It was no surprise that so many neighbors volunteered to place these signs on their lawns.”

“I’ve always felt that being a real estate broker involves more than just listing homes for sale,” Baugh added.  “Brava Realty has always focused on giving back to the community.”  In addition to distributing the free signs, she has also pledged to donate a portion of all sales commissions to Richardson ISD elementary school PTAs during the 2015-16 school year.

Slowing down saves lives. Sadly, in 2013, Texas had the nation’s highest number of child traffic fatalities (128), according to the National Center for Statistics and Analysis.  Bicyclists, joggers, and adult pedestrians are also at risk.  Brava Realty and its Prestonwood neighbors think we can do better.

Brava Realty is an independent, boutique real estate brokerage founded in 2006.
