Sellers Call the Shots for Sacramento Homes Priced Under $400,000 - 09:30 AM
I turned my phone off for a few hours on Sunday so I could clean up my front yard. It was beginning to resemble those of an REO listing. While my husband could care less, I don't want my neighbors to think we're in foreclosure. Dead hanging plants because I've had no time to water them. My strawberry tree on the front porch was growing into the azaleas, leaning over the railing. Weeds galore in the garden beds. I think it's time to hire a professional landscaper.

Bartlett Group retains top spot in South Texas for KW - 02:20 PM
Well I hate to toot my own horn.  OK, that is a lie.  Sometimes when the market is down it is good to hear some good news.  At first I was not sure if we were the least worst or we actually did pretty good.  As July was our best month in a few years, I guess we did pretty good.  This is for SOUTH TEXAS REGION and not for the entire state.  We will probably never win the most homes sold as our price point is double the state's average.  Now there is August.........
