Here we are again, updating you on the progress on this San Antonio Building project.  You can view last week's post here.  Today, it was exciting to see that for such a large project (over 4700 square feet), this phase is moving along very quickly.  The entire home is now sheet-rocked and the jo...

It sounds crazy, but I'm so glad that Fiesta is finito for the year! Every April around this time, we see showings pull back dramatically and that's can be a bit discouraging to Sellers. If Buyers are in town, they're at the Riverwalk and environs. If they are coming to San Antonio they probably ...

Here we are zipping through Spring and the home building continues in gorgeous neighborhoods across San Antonio.  For those who have been following this building project for one of our Buyer-families relocating to the area, this has been the week for sheet-rocking.  It's such a large house - over...

Though Steve and I are from California - Land of the Gold Rush, we still love to pan for gold here in San Antonio.  While on my way out to photograph a house in Glenwood Loop for some websites and print advertising, I happened upon this beautiful roadway garden of wildflowers.  So today, I'm pann...

There was a beautiful sunny period on Saturday afternoon, when the rain has stopped, the skies turned blue and the yellow wildflowers on the roadside seemed to glow especially bright and be highlighted by others in white and purple. I just love Spring in San Antonio.  It makes me want to go on lo...

  It has been a really busy Spring with out-of-town Buyers and those in town and trying to catch the tax credit money before it expires.  Sometimes Steve and I just need a quick break! When we are over in the area by Prue Road and Bandera in San Antonio, we try to make time to stop by the Garden...

Well, our Buyer's offer on an over-priced listing wasn't accepted, so Steve and I had to get out fast (time is running short for this Buyer), and preview some other possible homes for these nice people. Among other areas, we were out in the Schertz/Cibolo (really popular with those commuting to R...

Progress continues on our Buyer's new home here in San Antonio, the rough plumbing appears to be complete and the rough electrical work in in progress. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), ducting are being installed. (See last week's progress report). The home is scheduled to have ...

This afternoon in San Antonio was simply gorgeous, the sun was shining, the skies were blue and the wildflowers were in full bloom on the roadsides.  I was lucky to catch these from my car window while at a stoplight. Now, if we could just get some April showers.  Our annuals need some rain!   --...

Well, the fact that it's a newer home (or that it wasn't re-painted that long ago), is a separate fact from your Realtor seeing siding that needs caulking, paint that has faded and trim that no longer looks crisp against the brick, stone or contrasting paint color. If your Realtor notices, chance...
