So why do I need a Realtor when I am buying a new home? This is one ouf our new home buying videos that demonstrates how we coordinate the new home building process. Here we go over things to look for in the framing stage. This is the most important time we recommend a third party inspector. During the framing stage, there are a lot of things that can be covered up once the sheetrock goes up. As your Realtor and Exclusive Buyer's Agent, we help coordinate the inspections and review the inspecion report with you before we present it to the builder.

MLS Report for March 2013    HOUSTON HOME SALES BLOSSOM IN MARCH   Aggressive home buying shrinks inventory further while driving the median price to a record high   HOUSTON — (April 16, 2013) — It’s hard to tell that the spring home buying season has begun because real estate transactions throughout Greater Houston never slowed during the traditionally quieter winter months.

According to the latest monthly data prepared by the Houston Association of REALTORS® (HAR), home sales jumped 17.0 percent compared to last March.

These medications are less effective and can be dangerous once past their expiration dates. Also, leaving them there provides easy access for children and other people to find. I think it’s better to be safe than sorry in this case! Okay, why can’t you just throw them out? Well, many people do not realizing that these medications eventually break down and can potentially infiltrate our drinking water or the water used for agriculture. It is best to dispose of them properly and April 27th is a great day to do it! Simply bring any prescription medications to one of the participating sites listed below. All ...

  It's almost summertime and it's now that a lot of people start looking for a vacation home. A place to relax and enjoy peace & quiet!  But is it a good investment? You can buy a vacation home today for investment purposes as well as enjoyment. And yes, there are tax benefits.Some people buy a vacation home to use as a permanent retirement home later, which allows them to get ahead on their payments. Another benefit is that the interest and property taxes on a vacation home are tax-deductible. Some real estate experts predict that vacation homes will appreciate in value due to rising demand from the aging Baby Boom generation. You also can depreciate the property if you live in the house less than 14 days a year. You also need to consider whether you can afford to carry two mortgages, ...
