I guess realtors aren't immune to making mistakes when selling their … (0 comments)

It is just not possible to be totally upbeat all the time but for the sake of those who don't like whining I usually keep the low notes to myself.  I will simply say that I don't feel quite as peppy as the title of today's blog. That doesn't mean that … (0 comments)

I have had the pleasure of showing some out-of-towners the sights of Lubbock and telling them about the real estate market here.  It was more of a pleasure earlier in the month because Lubbock had some windy, sandy days and those are not pleasant.  But the GOOD NEWS is that Lubbock … (1 comments)
