More Company Coming To Dallas Dirt: Meet Worth Ross

Does the maintenance and repair of your home and investment properties drive you to drink? How would you like to manage properties — multiple — like 300 plus? That’s how Worth Ross spends his life 24/7, managing multi-family from posh single family rentals to the most upscale high rises on Turtle Creek. From saving homeowners hundreds in monthly association dues to boiler breaks to frozen water pipes, Worth has seen, heard and repaired it all. (Not himself, but I hear he has the best repair Rolodex in town and I just may get sticky fingers.) I thought we needed the voice of facility management experience right about now — and Worth will be sharing his deepest property care secrets with the readers of Dallas Dirt. (Feel free to send in questions. Here’s my first: how to save money, any, on energy costs. Specifically, the cost of crude is down so why haven’t Glacial Energy and TXU lowered our utility prices?) Hey, what works for Turtle Creek works for a home on say, Daria Place. Excuse me while I go make sure all our exterior faucets are frost proof: it’s so cold I need a mink just to read the thermostat.
