Lovely landscaping in the backyard of this newer home. It is located in the Surrey Ridge Addition of Robinson, but is in Midway ISD. This home is 1606 square feet with three bedrooms and 2 baths, but the layout makes it feel much bigger. Listed at $125,000. Call Ann for more details.

waco real estate: Heart of Texas Builders Association hold Parade of Homes.
- 06/16/10 04:47 AM
Every Spring the members of the Heart of Texas Builders Association hold the Parade of Homes. For 2 weekends they hold their new construction and custom homes open and for a $5 ticket, the public can go to the homes and check out the latest trends. There were about 19 homes this year. I went this past weekend and here were my observations. I think the homes were slightly smaller than in past years. Due to construction costs, not to mention heating and cooling costs, there are very few McMansions. Most of the homes were around 3000 square feet. And builders … (0 comments)

waco real estate: Daily inspiration for Friday September 25th
- 09/25/09 12:02 AM
"When all is said and done, the only thing you'll have left is your character." Country singer Vince Gill This quote is very appropriate for today's times when every one is cutting back and becoming less materialistic. If there is anything positive about the economic meltdown, this is it. Families are eating at home instead of eating out, having a backyard staycation instead of an expensive trip to Disneyland, and maybe spending more time together. HHMMM. Do you think we will go back to our old habits when the economy improves? I do, just not right away. … (3 comments)

waco real estate: I heart Keller Williams.
- 09/23/09 07:58 AM
I have been at Keller Williams Realty in Waco for almost exactly a year now, and I love it! They have weekly office meetings which are always fun and informative. They emphasize education and are always having classes at the office. I am currently half way through one called "Seller Mastery." But the main reason I love it here is because they give back to the community. In May they had a "Red Day" in which not only my market center, but every market center in the country performed a day of service. We chose to help clean up and paint … (2 comments)
