san antonio tx real estate: Back where I started... - 06/17/10 02:01 PM
A few years ago I left the company I had started my real estate career with. I had worked hard and was ranked #3 in the company when I left -- looking for greener pastures. WHY in the world was I looking for greener pastures when I was doing very well where I was?
I still don't have an answer to that question -- except that I was influenced by some other 'friends' who suggested we form a Team at another company. I trusted them and made the move only to have one of them not move as planned and the … (15 comments)

The San Antonio City Council recently approved a 3.9% rate adjustment (increase) in our water & sewer usage will go into effect in January, 2009.

san antonio tx real estate: San Antonio, Texas – Voluntary Drought Restrictions - 01/01/09 10:35 PM
Winter here in San Antonio usually brings rain. This is when the Edwards Aquifer is recharged by all of the seasonal rain. No t this year - we're in the midst of an extreme drought - the worse one since the 1950's. Our Aquifer level is falling instead of rising or at least holding steady.

san antonio tx real estate: RAINMAKERS NEEDED!!! - 01/01/09 08:56 PM
How about a Rainmaker's Convention? Any help would be appreciated. San Antonio completed 2008 with the driest 16 months September, 2007 through December, 2008, in recorded history. We had less than 1" of rain in the past 4 months and climate scientists are saying the dry conditions could last until the fall. The San Antonio Water System (SAWS) is considering implementing drought restrictions when the Edwards Aquifer falls to 660 feet above sea level. The restrictions currently kick in at 650 feet above sea level but in conditions of severe drought this would kick in earlier and help conserve more water.
