West Ranch Friendswood Texas Real Estate. Another wonderful client review. Thanks so much Joe !   We could not have done it without James! He was a patient and thorough advocate who walked us through the process from beginning to end. I would not purchase a home without a buyer's agent, and I highly recommend James. You won't go wrong!   03/25/2015

  What happens when the appraisal comes in low? It doesn't happen often, but on rare occasions, an appraiser will value the home lower than the contracted sales price.   If you are the buyer, you are probably happy that you might be getting the house for less than you were planning to spend. But if you are the seller, you have a problem.   In Texas, the sales contract allows for the contract to be terminated, and the earnest money returned to the buyer, if the house appraises for less than the contracted sales price. It also allows the buyer to pay the difference in cash if they still want the property. Both buyer and seller are faced with some decisions when this happens.   As the seller, your options are limited.   1. Your Realtor can ask the lender to request an appeal of the apprais... 02/24/2015

  When serious buyers find a home they really like, those buyers are going to have some questions for the seller. Sellers might as well have that information prepared in advance so it can be quickly provided to potential buyers upon request. Here are some of the common questions that buyers are going to ask:   How old is the roof? How old is the air conditioner? How old is the heater? Has there ever been foundation repair? How much were your utility bills for the last year? What is the cost of your homeowner's/windstorm insurance? How old is the hot water heater? Has the property ever flooded? What upgrades/improvements have you made since you purchased the home? In addition to getting the answers to these questions, I always ask my sellers to prepare a list of the TOP TEN THINGS they l... 02/18/2015

In the real estate business, we have the opportunity to work with all types of brokers and agents. Most of them are nice, but some are not so. There are a few in my area that I really don't like working with because the experience is usually difficult or just not pleasant.   It's a shame, because being THE AGENT EVERYONE LIKES TO WORK WITH is really simple. I put together a list of some things all agents could do to make working with other agents a pleasing experience. I'm sure you can think of some other things (feel free to mention them in the comments section). Here is my short list:   ·      Acknowledge receipt of offers, amendments, or any emailed document. Someone took the time to send it to you, so take just a few seconds to let them know you have received it and will get back to... 06/18/2014

  Inventory in the Houston area is LOW! According to the Houston Association of Realtors (HAR), the supply of homes has remained at 2.6 months of inventory since December. We are seeing this in most of the communities surrounding Houston as well, with buyers finding very little to pick from.   With resales in short supply, many buyers are turning to new construction to find their next home.   If a new-construction home is something you are considering, you should be sure to secure your own Realtor to represent you in the purchase.   Having a Realtor on your side when you purchase a new construction home offers many benefits.   YOUR Realtor will help in negotiating the lowest price possible. YOUR Realtor will help in negotiating upgrades as part of the base sales price. YOUR Realtor will... 06/07/2014

How quickly can you access your funds if you want to pay cash for a home? You might be surprised to learn that it can take several days to get your cash from an investment or retirement account. If your funds are not readily available in a savings account, you need to allow yourself plenty of time to have the funds wired from your investment account to your bank or to the title company. It can take 48-72 hours or more to get your funds once you have made the request. You probably won't be able to get your funds the same day you request them, or even the next day. I recently represented the sellers on the sale of their home, and the closing was postponed four days beyond our scheduled closing date because the buyer did not place the order for his funds early enough. He called his financi... 03/24/2014
