austin tx: Relocating- First Hand Experience Part 5 - 11/20/08 02:26 PM

We have a FRAME! Yeah! And that "yeah" is said with a shrug, as I'm still not excited about the move. I can't believe how quickly they got this done after dragging their feet for months to get started in the first place. Windows should be in by now as … (4 comments)

austin tx: Relocating- First Hand Experience Part 4 - 11/10/08 09:48 AM

Yes, we've got a slab, finally! We've been under contract for over 3 months now, and we've finally received a slab. Building in Austin, thus far, takes so much longer to get things rolling than anything I've seen in the Dallas area. Some builders can build a house start to … (8 comments)

austin tx: Relocating- First Hand Experience Part 2 - 08/18/08 01:11 PM

It turns out that I'm a little spoiled being in the Dallas market verse moving to a smaller market, Austin. In Dallas, we have a showing service called Centralized Showing Services (CSS). I would guess 99% of agents use this service. It's very inexpensive, and it's wonderful.

austin tx: Relocating- First Hand Experience Part 1 - 08/15/08 12:40 PM

Boy have I been busy... busy turning off my business! Since the move to Austin is definite, I can't keep building new business in Dallas, or I'll be throwing money down the toilet. I like to keep as much money in my pockets as I can as I have plenty of … (9 comments)

Since we've been contemplating the move to Austin, it's given me an opportunity to see how other parts of the state, possibly even the country, do things. One of those things is the Fence around a property. This might not seem like a big deal, but in all actuality it is … (26 comments)

austin tx: Dallas Metroplex has 10 Cities in Top 100 Best Places - 07/22/08 09:50 AM

Many suburbs of Dallas, TX made CNN Money's top 100 places to live list for 2008. What I find interesting is that 10 cities in the Dallas area made the list, but only 1 city from the Austin area made the list, Round Rock. Of those 10 cities, I have to admit, I'm shocked … (6 comments)

austin tx: Dallas verse Austin Update - 06/25/08 09:36 PM

As of today, it looks like we're probably going to stay in Dallas. We have been running the numbers constantly, nonstop for the past few weeks. Mike and I have talked more in the past few weeks than we've talked in our 5+ relationship... well, not really, but pretty darn close … (22 comments)

austin tx: Where to Live? Which to Choose? - 06/09/08 09:16 AM

As many of you know, I'm having to think long and hard about a possible move to Austin. Mike's company officially asked him last week to move, so we made another trip down there this past weekend, and boy am I feeling exactly what my relocation buyers typically feel.
I have … (5 comments)

austin tx: Austin vs Dallas- I need Honest Opinions - 05/18/08 08:36 AM

It looks as though I might "have to" relocate to Austin. It a really bad time for me because my business is BOOMING, but my husband might be told that he has an option of being laid off or move to Austin. He's from Austin (well, lived there from when he … (19 comments)
