Floor Plans For Every Home I know…I am dreaming again! Wouldn’t it be great if builders filed a floor plan when they built a home? I would guess about 99% of the time sellers don’t have the floor plan to their home. Not everyone gets one even when they buy a brand new home. Wouldn’t…
If you want new…buy new. A good real estate agent will always advise you to get a home inspection on any home you are thinking about purchasing. Inspectors try to note everything in their report. They don’t want a customer to come back later and say you missed this, or why didn’t you note that….
I took offense to this comment I recently commented on a post, and took offense to another comment posted. If you have to show someone more than 5 properties you truly don’t understand your buyer’s needs. Otherwise you are just a taxi driver, not a real estate professional.

How many towns do not have an internet MLS? I was working with a client who had her home listed in another state. She wanted to purchase a home here in the Austin area as soon as her home sold. I contacted her agent to get her thoughts on our clients home since I wasn’t…
I want some Personality! Does it seem after looking at houses day after day…they all start to look alike? Does it seem they are all white boxes in different sizes with the boxes just arranged different? I know that builders in sub divisions try hard to not make them look cookie cutter, but they usually…
Yes, you can buy the first house I show you. I usually spend hours going through listing after listing trying to find the right match for my client. In fact yesterday I did a search which came back with 664 results. I sent my client 5 listings. I don’t want to waste their time, and…
Are you a good HOA? Or are you a bad HOA? They are not all created equal. Generally when we sell a home in a subdivision that has an HOA, the buyers don’t get all the HOA rules and regulation until after the closing. Well, they need to see them first. You need to know…
