I do appreciate and respect my competitors who run circles around me. I don't hate them, I try and understand them the best I can. The most interesting thing I notice is that home sellers often are hoodwinked into believing that he with the most home listings or neighborhood signs sells the most homes.   Not even close to being true.   In 2009 my team of 3 had "sold" more properties during the first quarter than one of the cities largest competitors. This same competitor has listings on both Krypton and on every moon in the solar system. He is the top dog in Houston. He gets listings in his sleep.   But how is this even possible? I don't list anywhere near the amount of homes he does.   The are 2 parts to a transaction. He who sells it and he who lists it. The Buyer's Agent is the "SELL... 11/02/2012

Yesterday, I received a call from a woman who lives in New York.  She and her husband had purchased a vacation home here in Cypress, TX back in 2007.  "It is a lovely home with MANY upgrades."  She proceeded to list some of the upgrades in the home. "We are only use the home 2 weeks out of the year at the most!  I told my husband, it is NOT worth the taxes, the upkeep, the utilities to keep the home, so we want to sell it."  I know the neighborhood well.  This particular subdivision has had quite a few foreclosures, and it is not what I would call a "highly-sought-after" subdivision.  It is lovely in its own way, but it is not one of the "easy sell" neighborhoods.  Average time on the market for SOLDS is 160 days, compared to 30-60 days in your master-planned communities.  In the conver... 10/24/2012

Pond with Wildlife is not a Garbage DumpThe Office building where my full time job as a CPA resides is in Cypress Texas and is just northwest of Houston. I drive through this area almost every day. I am very familiar with the whole area and I definitely will work the entire area for my real estate clients.  Behind the building I work at is a small pond. I am not sure if this was man made many years ago or whether it has been there as part of the natural topography. I have been seeing many baby ducks in the pond now for several weeks and I keep making a mental note to take the time for photographing the wildlife. This past Friday was absolutely a beautiful day as the weather was close to perfect for this area. After meeting with my boss at his office I remembered I wanted to take picture... 10/21/2012
