Summer is officially upon us in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Kids are in camp, people are on vacation and the temperatures are exceeding 100 degrees almost every day (yesterday it "felt" like 109 degrees). I have more and more home buyers lately looking for properties with pools, so I compiled a list of my favorite pools at homes that are actively listed for sale in the DFW Metroplex . These pools span from Mabank to Celina and everything in between. Let's go swimming!
