  Ok, every now and again I just have to vent. I watch as people attempt to trash our Supreme Court and Hobby Lobby over the recent landmark court decision and wonder out loud, WHY?   Where you work is a choice and if you don’t like the benefits they offer, don’t work there. Hobby Lobby has not changed their view in light of Obama Care. They have remained consistent in the face of this over burdensome law. Besides, you can still buy birth control for around $10 on your own each month, they just didn’t want to pay for it. Obama promised the private business owner would pay for it and clearly overreached.   If you work for a company and know the rules going in, then what’s the problem?   The liberal justices said it would open up all kinds of challenges to the law. SO!!!! If it’s wrong it...

  A dream team in Texas! As most everyone knows I love Real Estate and my second love in business is entertainment. Last Year Bob Mauldin of 31 West Productions and I developed Extreme Real Estate for TV and had a blast. Extreme Real Estate got kicked up the line for National consideration, but we still wanted a uniquely Texas show. So Bob and I created “Terry Miller’s Texas”.   We’ll today we added Trent Spalding who is one of the best promoters in the country to Terry Miller’s Texas. Trent is amazing and will handle all of the marketing and promotions for both shows and future media projects involving myself.   You see, I believe Real Estate is a contact business and people need to know their real estate agent in more than a business sort of way. Terry Miller’s Texas follows a similar...

  Look around for a minute in your community. How many good small businesses do you see? I mean good ones, not the ones that are clearly not going to make it. How do you support them and does your own business stack up well against them?   My wife and I buy local every chance we get and if we do by from a franchise we try to make it one that is 100% locally owned. I know, you can’t avoid Walmart, but we try all the time. As I look around in the markets we are in at Miller Homes Group and the ones we are expanding to I see franchises with little or no local ownership. I see agents with horrible splits in the name of recycled training and outdated marketing principles. It seems to me that the numbers the big franchises are posting in agent count are actually going down in total and they a...

Yep, you're a real pro! You don't answer your phone and your voice mailbox is full and has been for as long as anybody knows, but you will show up and get your check after we do all the work. Does this happen in all markets? OK, I'm just kidding, I know it does and I know we all wonder how these type of agents stay in business. The office got a call the other day because we have some lots listed in the same area and one of these agents couldn't be bothered, for a lot. Two hours later we were writing a contract and preparing to send them to a builder. The sad part is, the seller of the other property has no idea why their lots aren't selling. Keep in mind, I know we aren't perfect, but we try to do the things that are easy, like answer the phone and return messages as fast as possible. ...

  Buy local and know who you’re dealing with!  Competition is a good thing and we have an abundance of it in East Texas. As the Real Estate market heats up we are seeing a familiar trend raring its head again. Builders from Dallas and other areas coming into our area to build. You see, when you deal with a local builder you know which ones pay their subs and suppliers and build a quality product. When we have builders coming in from smoking hot markets to build here, alarms start going off in my head and I ask why? Are they not doing a good job in their own market or are they trying to do a hit and run in our market? Or maybe both.   An out of town builder could not have paid his subs or suppliers or may build an inferior product, but you can’t verify it because he has no local track r...
