The Colony derives its name from the original Peters Colony. The Peters Colony headquarters was located within the current boundaries of The Colony in the historical community of Stewartsville and the site of the Hedgcoxe War.The Colony is also the site of Bridges Settlement (established during the years of the Republic of Texas and the oldest community in Denton County), Stewarts Creek, Rector, Stoverville and Camey, also known as Camey Spur.
The Colony did not exist before 1973, when home developers Fox and Jacobs (since purchased by Centex) purchased 3,000 acres of land located around State Highway 121 and Farm to Market Road 423. The name "The Colony" was chosen by Fox and Jacobs because they wanted its new development to share a sense of kinship with Texas' early history and "to create a living monument to the spirit and courage of the Peters Colonists ... those men and women who braved considerable hardships to begin new lives, in new homes, on new land." They planned the development to be a new "dream city" consisting primarily of single-family homes grouped as a "colony" and based on the city of Dallas' infrastructure specifications, In 1973, Fox and Jacobs negotiated an agreement with the city of Frisco to begin construction in its extraterritorial jurisdiction. In 1974, street construction began with many streets being named after early settlers and members of the construction crews. The first model homes were completed in August 1974 and the first families moved into their homes in October that year. The homes were served for water services by The Colony Municipal Utility District formed in 1974, electricity via Texas Power and Light, cable television via Lakeside CATV and telephone service via Southwestern Bell.
In 1977, the homeowners associations' petition to disannex the development from the city of Frisco's extraterritorial jurisdiction was approved. The Colony voted to become an incorporated city in January 1977 and became a Home Rule City in 1979. Residents of The Colony participated in two polls to select a name for the new city. Both polls chose the name "The Colony" and the name was ratified by the City Council in May 1977. In 1987, The Colony voted to merge with the small lakeside community of Eastvale
I believe that individual attention is the most important thing for my clients. I purposely keep my active client list manageable so I can focus and give my clients the specific attention they deserve when dealing with the largest single purchase/sale they have dealt with. I bring over 15 years of corporate consulting and negotiating experience in corporate real estate to the table. I am ready, willing and able to negotiate and “fight” for the best possible deal for you! I am laid back, honest, up-front and above all hard-working. There is no pressure with me! I will never try to talk you into a deal. I will present the facts, discuss in detail with you and remind you of comments, thoughts and feelings from other situations that may fit/affect your final decision. I will do everything I can to help remove the “what-if” scenarios. This is not only my job, but it is also my passion. I do this because I get to and want to! This is fun for me…fun to work for you, find you the perfect home or sell your existing home…I want this to be fun and exciting for you as well! I received my undergraduate degree from Texas Tech University and my MBA at The University of Texas in Dallas. I also hold the designation of Graduate, Realtor® Institute. I live in Frisco, TX with my wife, Jill and our three high school sons. When not working with clients you will most likely find me watching my boys play baseball or at a wrestling meet. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I would love to discuss how I can help you with all of your real estate needs!
