On March 11th, which is the day before SXSW Interactive starts, Austin will be hosting a very cool RE Barcamp event downtown. I plan to be there helping with check-in at the beginning, and probably hanging out at the after party, too. :) If you don't know what a Barcamp is, you have to come and...

Well, it appears that Texas remains one of the strongest real estate investments around, as evidenced by a new list released by Forbes.com last week. In fact, ours was the only state to place more than one city on the list (3 total!). Austin is #10 on their "America's Best Housing Markets" list...

Nestled on a cul-de-sac street in one of Round Rock's most popular communities, 2012 Solitude Cove offers a terrific, functional layout with nice space at an affordable price. If you get a home under contract by April 30th and close by June 30th, you may qualify for one of the federal homebuyer ...

I wrote yesterday asking my local Austin-area friends if they would be interested in helping my 8-year old daughter by buying Girl Scout Cookies from us. Many people said that they would if they could, but it's not practical to ship them to other states or cities. Others mentioned that the large...

I'm curious to see if this will bring results or not. If not, no harm done. If so, I can help out a good cause and my daughter at the same time. If you live in the general Austin area, let me know if you would like to buy some Girl Scout Cookies. My 8-year-old daughter is selling them for the ...

On Monday night, I drove up to my mom's house near Dallas and spent the night in anticipation of the Raincamp event the next day. Surprisingly, there was still several inches of snow on the ground when I arrived, although the roads were clear. Since we didn't get any snow at all at my house, I ...
