Zillow Review

Herman is the best in the business I have been buying and selling houses in DFW for over 20 years and I have never had someone so detailed, informative, professional and results driven. He got more then I was asking for my house and sold it within a week. I will never use another realtor.

After another realtor failed to sell my home, Herman sold it in one weekend! He is extremely knowledgeable and strategic. I definitely recommend using Herman.

Berti is very knowledgeable and resourceful. I was all but ready to give up renting out my proprerty and she talked me off the ledge. Was very professional and gave me solid advice on what I needed to do. She guided me through the process and kept me on point. She made it the process of getting it rented seem easy. I will definitely work with Bertie again for my next real estate investment.

“Working with Bertie was an absolute pleasure. I found her to be warm, pleasant, and honest. She is also a very knowledgeable realtor with many years of experience, and it shows in her work ethic. Bertie was very helpful to me and my family when answering any questions that I had or my family had about renting, buying, or selling. She also returned calls and emails in a timely matter and made herself available whenever we needed to reach out to her. There is no doubt in my mind that if you work with Bertie you will be anything less than pleased.” -Vanessa Zelaya, March 29, 2016

Herman possesses a knowledge of the local market second to none. After discussing the market and housing trends we were able to list and sell within a weekend. I believe that was entirely due to Herman’s recommendations in staging the house, excellent photographer, and spot in pricing. My wife and I enjoyed Herman’s honest and accurate advice throughout the process. If we ever need to buy or sell a home I would definitely use Herman again!

As first time home buyers, my husband and I lucked out when we found Herman Holt during our search for a real estate agent. We combed through various websites for reviews before finding Herman. Our goal was to ensure that we found someone that would help us find the home of our dreams and provide us the honest feedback we would need to make a sound financial decision for the biggest purchase of our lives. Other satisfied home buyers highly recommended Herman as a 380 corridor expert and trusted confidant. Herman not only lived up to this description but he went above and beyond to help us buy our home. Herman helped us though every step of the process and he was willing to work with us 7 days a week if needed to make sure we secured our home. Thanks to Herman, buying a home was a smooth and relatively easy process. Although we have already closed on our home, Herman remains a resource and trusted adviser to us.

She was very knowledgeable and always dependable whenever we needed clarity. I'd recommend her to anyone who's looking to own or rent a home. She's very polite and professional, she's easy to talk to and not as intimidating as her counterparts.

Bertie took a challenging property on a challenging block a not only found a great buyer, but managed every aspect of the transaction from listing to post closing. With the perfect blend of professionalism and a friendly demeanor you can't help be drawn to, we' re already planning our next listing with her. A great find for a Realtor.

I would highly recommend Bertie Ali-Cooke to anyone looking for an agent that has a keen knowledge of her industry and that will provide the research and expertise needed in selecting the real estate properties to match your desires. We were searching for a property that would serve a multipurpose need. We required a building that would provide both office and transitional living space in addition to multiple storage units for our inventory. Ms. Ali-Cooke, within a week was able to identify a property that met our present and future needs. After a walk through, it became clear that the owner's asking price exceeded it true market value and we decided to continue our search. We were pleased with her attention to details such areas that would not meet code standards and would require a significant financial outlay to bring those areas into compliance. We were able to talk with the current tenants who shared their concerns. We always felt that Ms. Ali-Cooke was truly working in our best interest and we are looking forward to working with her as we continue our search. I would highly recommend Ms. Ali-Cooke to families we serve that has lost their homes to a fire.

Mr. Holt is a great realtor! He is very knowledgeable, and takes the time to educate his clients. He keeps his clients best interests at heart during each phase of the process. Mr. Holt helped to make the transaction of both buying and selling a home extremely smooth. I don't plan on moving anytime soon, but if I needed a realtor again, he would definitely be the first person I call!

Sawmill Bridge-Park in Arnolds Park

Sawmill Park/Bridge
Located at 314 Rohr Street in Arnolds Park sits a great family park, with newer playground equipment, a basketball hoop and a shelter area.
Also located here is the Sawmill Bridge which separates Upper Gar Lake and Lake Minnewashta.
Don’t share this secret too far, but this is a good location to catch a fish or two at certain times of the year.

"Turn-Over" Thermocline

Referred to locally as the lake turning over the thermocline is a feature of lakes with deep water. The water on the top of the lake changes temperature much more variably during the year. On West Lake, it can reach as much as 75 degrees in July while the water below, greater than 35 or 40 feet deep is relatively stable around 45 degrees. In the fall and early winter, the top strata of the lake will cool to below 45 degrees, and then because it becomes denser, it will "sink" below the lower strata, thus, displacing it and making the lake "turn-over". In the deepest part of West Lake (near the 136ft mark), no light is availble, and hence little life is known whether fish or plant. Typically questions are raised as to why the surface water gets dirty for a short period of time in the fall, this this is the standard answer.
