About

Welcome to CandysDirt.com, an award-winning site for the truly real-estate obsessed in Dallas and North Texas. The National Association of Real Estate Editors named CandysDirt.com the BEST Real Estate Blog in the country in June, 2013 and AGAIN in June, 2015! (Who knows what 2016 will bring!) We celebrate real estate here every single day! CandysDirt.com offers readers insider intel, House Porn, celebrity real estate, neighborhood profiles, what’s hot, (what’s not), sales insight, Realtor profiles, new developments, the “f” word (um, foreclosures, what were you thinking?), builder talk, real estate news and consumer Q&A’s. We showcase great listings, help them break away from the noise. We cover those neighborhood HOA meetings that make everyone’s blood pressure rise. Come tax appraisal time, we have The Tax Doctor right here. We even have a real estate attorney on staff for the really tough questions. We do it all from our base in Dallas/Fort Worth, where we love to report the Dallas and Fort Worth Dirt. Unlike 98% of the real estate sites out there, CandysDirt.com is edited by a journalist who isn’t trying to sell you a home; a journalist who went to real estate school to sleep with the enemy and holds a Texas real estate license (this month, it’s with Ebby Halliday) but does NOT sell; a journalist who visits each property and neighborhood and kicks the tires hard in her pointy Louboutins. Or Jimmy Choos. Make no mistake: Candy Evans tells it like it is. Updated daily, reported accurately for the real estate consumer, and always spiced with dish from readers and local experts, CandysDirt.com is a daily fix for anyone who loves real estate in Dallas/Fort Worth.

ABOUT CANDY EVANS

Candy Evans is an internet entrepreneur and one of the nation’s leading real estate bloggers. She is renowned in the industry as a social media futurist. Candy reports on Dallas real estate for WFAA-TV’s Daybreak with Ron Corning, and is frequently called as a real estate expert by Dallas and national media. She is also the real-estate editor for CultureMap Dallas, and writes a weekly real estate column for the Katy Trail Weekly and White Rock Weekly. She also covers Real Estate for Modern Luxury Dallas. She even has her own web-based real estate show called, The Party Line.

She is the founder and publisher of an exciting platform of Dallas-based real estate sites including her signature CandysDirt.com, everything you need to know about real estate in North Texas, and SecondShelters.com, devoted to the vacation home market. She also just launched MidlandDirt.com for Midland-Odessa. And yes, we are still psyched about the GOLD! In 2013, CandysDirt.com was named Best Blog in the country by the venerable National Association of Real Estate Editors, one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious journalism associations, and the only association for journalists covering real estate, home and urban design. We won the same award in the silver category in 2015.

Candy has written for AOL Real Estate, and is a guest blogger for Joel Kotkin’s The New Geography, Inman Real Estate News plus a host of national sites. Candy was a longtime contributing editor to Dallas’ D Magazine, and in 2007 founded the wildly successful DallasDirt. That’s where she broke the news on countless celebrity homes, including where former president George W. Bush and Laura bought their Dallas home in 2008.

ABOUT JOANNA ENGLAND

If Joanna England could house hunt forever, she’d be a happy woman. Finding unique, luxurious, dreamy (and affordable!) listings for CandysDirt.com turned out to be just as good.

Covering the North Texas real estate market is coming full circle for Joanna. Her first-ever real job was at the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, helping to produce the center’s recently launched e-newsletter. From there Joanna landed a sweet job at The Dallas Morning News as an editorial assistant, later selecting the letters to the editor for the editorial page.

It was while she was associate editor at People Newspapers that she met Candy Evans, who introduced her to the wild and crazy world of real estate blogging. After her son, Cooper, was born in 2011, Joanna decided that blogging full time was the perfect way to spend more time with her son while still having a fulfilling career in journalism. Luckily, Candy thought so, too, and hired Joanna as an executive editor for her growing family of websites including CandysDirt.com and SecondShelters.com. She has since written columns for Bubble Life Media and In The Loop Kids, too.

And that brings us to today. When she’s not covering the biggest and best homes in Dallas for CandysDirt.com — named the nation’s best real estate blog of 2013 by the National Association of Real Estate Editors — she’s wrangling a 3-year-old, a husband who acts like a 3-year-old, two dogs, two cats, and three chickens in her Casa View Haven home.
