You can have all of the knowledge and technical understanding in the world, but there’s another element that carries just as much weight in delivering the best client experience … the ability to understand their situation and relate to their needs.

That’s one of the areas where Myra Baginski shines.

Caring Connections

As a REALTOR® and Listing Properties Specialist with Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, Myra connects with her clients on a deep level. In turn, she excels with empathy for their situation in life and goals for the future. Combining her unwavering integrity, personal attention, and a deep commitment to professional core values are all trademarks of Myra’s success.

“I believe my role in this business is all about helping people … going out and making a difference in someone else’s lives, demonstrating awareness and understanding is key to my success,” she explains. “I know what it feels like to uproot what you’ve established and go to a new place where you potentially don’t know anyone.”

Originally from New Jersey, Myra came of age with a very big-hearted and engaged nature. While studying Interior Design in college, Myra volunteered to be a member of a rescue squad.

“I had lost my boyfriend who passed away when he was just 16 years old,” Myra remembers. “I wanted to help other people. So I became an emergency medical technician (EMT) and joined a local rescue squad. I did that to help others and to learn more about life-saving situations.”

Positive Action

Myra carried out vital life-saving services as a volunteer for 13 years. In the process, she met many people who would have a lasting impact on her life — including Bob, the man who would become her husband. He was a volunteer firefighter at the time. Once they met, it wasn’t long before they married and started their life together.

In 1994, Myra earned her real estate license and also became an award-winning interior designer. Due to her multifaceted professional design, remodeling, and construction background, Myra brings a distinctive ability to visualize both space and possibilities in terms of value in residential homes.

In the mid-1990s, Myra and Bob were relocated for a work promotion to the San Francisco Bay area in California. Originally, their plan was to spend a few years there. They ended up staying in the San Francisco Bay area for 20 years.

Eventually, The opportunity for another promotion was presented and they made the decision to move to Dallas, Texas.

“I remember not wanting to leave California. I came here knowing no one. In California, I had my Interior design and remodeling business, fabulous friends, and a beautiful ocean “ Myra says. “In real estate, I was helping buyers and selling new construction for build-

Family Fulfillment

Life is made even more fulfilling for Myra by her family. She and Bob (who is an Executive at Hitachi High Technologies) treasure time with their children — their daughter, Brittany, who is a U.S. Army Reserves Combat Medic; and their son, Brandon, who has a passion for producing music and works at the DFW Airport.

In her free time, Myra has a love for the arts, architecture, music, theater, dining, and wine.

Giving back is also key for Myra. She enjoys being a “Wish Granter” and supporting the efforts of Make-A-Wish Foundation.

In addition, Myra also gives back to the industry she loves. She is a member of the American Society of Interior Designers and is also very interactive with the Dallas Builders Association, where she serves as Vice Chair of the Membership Committee and serves on the Board of Directors.

Today, Myra lives with her family in Las Colinas and primarily focuses her real estate efforts on the Southlake and Dallas areas.

Moments that Matter

As Myra reflects on the moments that stand out in her career, she focuses on the people who she feels deeply honored to serve.

“I have so much gratitude for the trust that my clients give to me throughout the intricate process of buying and selling real estate; it’s a relationship that goes beyond a transaction. It’s representing the best interest of my clients and helping them realize their dreams and goals for their home or portfolio assets with care and confidentiality.”

Day-by-day, Myra applies her own experience and knowledge, bringing her clients to the next point in their real estate journeys … in the process, excelling with empathy.
