Buying a new home can be fun, and most stressful thing you will ever do in a lifetime. All the more reason to be prepared, especially in this day and age. To continue and make sure things go as smoothly as possible you have to make sure you have all your "ducks" in order. I've comprised a short and easy "first step" program to get you started:

2. Find out how much you are comfortable paying on … (2 comments)

real estate in san antonio tx: Focus, Motivate, Act and deliver - 09/02/09 10:25 PM
With the state of affairs and the markets, Topsy turvey attitude, now's a troubling but thought provoking time. You have to make the decision.....are my financing and state of affairs in place?

real estate in san antonio tx: Home buying tips and tidbits, from your San Antonio Realtor! - 08/24/09 06:26 PM
Hello future home buyer, it's been a while since I've been on Activerain. I've been making future home buyers of your peers. Here's something I give to them during our initial meeting and thought I would share it.
Things you should do and be aware of when you're buying a home:
•- Your agent! nothing is more valuable when your shopping for your home than a great agent who is working on YOUR behalf
•- A Notebook! You should really jot down key detailed notes of each property you visit. This is crucial, if you visit more than 4 properties in one … (5 comments)

real estate in san antonio tx: When is the good time to buy, are we near the bottom? - 06/06/09 08:33 PM
Hello all!
I have a lot of buyers shopping around. They hear the news that we are in a buyer's market, hows are just being given away!. Excitement takes over, but...... buyers are still on the fence. Why? Because when a good thing comes, sometimes it seems too good to be true, or maybe, and just maybe... if we wait a little longer, the market will drop just that much more. Realistic? No. No? Yes, no!
What you have to realize, you, as a buyer or seller, or investor is, you won't know the bottom until it bottom out and starts … (4 comments)

With the sign of times, the recession, the economy, global impact, where's the brighter side of things these days? I say look at the negative, and turn it into a positive.

real estate in san antonio tx: Golf course review: La Loma golf course, Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Tx., - 03/03/09 09:43 PM
I had the pleasure of playing one of the two revamped courses on the Army installation of Fort Sam Houston, here in sunny San Antonio:
The course was in great shape! I found this to be a pleasant surprise, considering the water shortage here. The course has the distinction of being the only military course to host a PGA tournament event twice (the Texas Open). Arnold Palmer won here on one of those events.
The bunkers are well place and come in to place on numerous occasions and water is in place on several of the holes. The … (6 comments)

real estate in san antonio tx: Golf course review: Woodlake golf club, Converse, Texas, 78244 - From your San Antonio Realtor - 02/25/09 08:22 PM
I had the opportunity to play the Woodlake golf club the other day; and I will tell you, it was a pleasure!
Home of Ben Crenshaw's 1st PGA Tour Victory
This course was built in the early '70's and the design is fantastic. Hilly terrains, mulitple water hazards and all the greens are elevated. It's a true golfer's challenge at a reasonable price. I will definitely add this to one of my regular courses in rotation. Not the longest course, about 6,600 yards from the tips, but you will work for par!
Very nice homes surround this … (3 comments)

real estate in san antonio tx: The reccession has hit; even the referral fees! - 01/08/09 10:41 PM
Wow, I love to go through the web to increase my knowledge of the market and all aspects of real estate. I decided to look at some of the referrals posted here on Active rain and noticed an increase in the referral fee percentages!!! Is that a sign of the times? I know we are lucky to be one of the few industries to get paid to refer but 40 - 50%???? That really seems excessive to me, am I the only one to think that? With referral requests like that, I would definitely look elsewhere. Money not earned is money not … (9 comments)

real estate in san antonio tx: San Antonio real estate, still growing strong - 12/12/08 11:08 PM
San Antonio's market is still the prime area to move and work. There's still a good supply of homes in the inventory but from the looks of things, houses are still moving. Builders are dropping prices on inventory homes just to get them off the books. Interest rates are at their lowest in years! A new home for the holidays or a new years treat! All the marks are lined up in the right place.
One of the best news about a buyer's market is you don't have to buy a foreclosed home to get a really good deal. This is … (6 comments)

Now that congress has finally passed the bill, with some extras thrown in, how will it affect the economy and the housing market? I'm interested in your thoughts. With the Texas market not totally feeling the effects of the rest of the world, will this put a rise in home buying?

real estate in san antonio tx: Get an inspection, you won't regret it - 09/25/08 12:29 AM
To piggy back on my buddies Dale and Carl, it really is a great ideal to get a home inspection. Whether you're buying a resale home or a new home, the price you pay now is the price you save later. Building codes change all the time, so you must know how your home falls into that. Also, don't be discouraged if your 10+ year homes doesn't fall into the local codes and you feel the home of your dreams you're looking to buy is going to be a headache, your agent should negotiate a one years service contract, paid by the … (9 comments)

If I've done you the job, offered you advice, or even if you know me from a former … (16 comments)

real estate in san antonio tx: Time is running out on downpayment assistance.... the time to buy is now!! - 08/21/08 12:16 AM
Congress is passing a bill to do away with down payment assistance. Why, I have no clue, it' one of the best programs around. What can you do about it? Two things, first now is the time to buy that great home you were leaning towards, and second, send a letter to congress letting them know this is a bad deal!
At this time in society and economics, now more than ever, there needs to be a program in place to help the "average Joe, buy a home for their family. Why take that away? I'm certified in the Nehemiah program … (4 comments)

real estate in san antonio tx: Have I got a referral for you!!! - 08/07/08 12:21 AM
My last three referral alerts were propaganda and not actual referrals!!! I took the time to take the steps to have referrals in my "area" pop up on my email so that I can ensure that I'm there when "you" call.
The last 3 I had, stated they had viable clients ready to move here, and even left me messages on my voicemail returning my call and answer to their referral request. I'm still new, still excited about possible clients, I return their calls to be met with a lead referral company asking for a monthly fee..... Uh.. Please … (16 comments)

real estate in san antonio tx: Do you know what you're listing???? - 08/06/08 10:55 PM
I have a client that's casually looking for a new home. Very particular and I truly understand why. Well I found a home that she fell in love with!! She wants to view it, "no problem," I told her, just let me do some preview and research to see if it matches all your needs. Called the listing agent, no answer, got his message service. Gave them my information for him to call me back.... nothing. I'm a persistent guy; I called again, got his assistant. She assured me she would relay the message. Ok.... Call again in the afternoon, answering … (10 comments)
