Real Estate is the Greatest Example of Our Free Market System! - 05/31/08 02:59 PM
I was listening to a talk show recently and they discussed how some MLS systems around the Country are trying to keep the info they have SECRET to hide facts and protect commissions and income.
Nothing could be further from the truth!
I firmly believe the American free market system is alive and well and lives firmly in national real estate markets!
Here are some examples:
We not only have multiple firms that sell real estate...we have different models of service to fit every buyer!
1. Full Service: You can choose to have an agent and agency that caters to all … (0 comments)

What is the best way to attract potential clients to your website? - 05/28/08 02:11 PM
We get this question from new agents just starting in the business...as well as long time agents who realize this is the future and they better jump on the bus!
Here are some tips for you:
1. Shrink your area of expertise! That's right...shrink it. Do not think that the larger area you work the more potential clients you attract...this is faulty thinking. You can only be an area expert of a small area. The most successful agents on the net work subdivisions, a few condos, a co-op or two, or a neighborhood. They do not try to be the New … (5 comments)

Lets make this a happy and healthy Memorial Day...and take some time to remember those who have given their lives so we can use all the wonderful amenities we have in this great country!

Watch out for Alligators! - 05/23/08 02:26 PM
It is that time of year in Katy Texas that we need to remind everyone that Alligators do exist...and you need to watch out for them. The Texas Dept. of Fish and Wildlife has let hikers, hunters, fishermen, and golfers to keep alert while in the Katy and Houston area. They advise you to carry pepper spray in case you have a close encounter with an alligator. Make sure when near a lake our bayou with children you keep an eye on them at all times...put a small bell or noise device on them so they can alert you if they … (3 comments)

Should Agents Nationwide be Required to Disclose Full or Limited Service? - 05/19/08 02:14 PM
This is quite an issue that keeps coming up on listing appointments. We talk to clients who do not understand the differences between agents and agencies.
First: disclosure...I think a each type of agency has its place, full service, limited service, and Entry Only....even FSBO has its place!!!!
Second: The only real answer is to have minimum requirements for each...thus an limited service agent could not claim to be full service.
Here are the requirements I would suggest for each.
FSBO - For sale buy owner with no entry into MLS. The MLS input changes this from being a true FSBO … (3 comments)

Round One...Mets 7 Yankees 4 - 05/17/08 04:47 PM
OK this might not be a big deal to you if you are not a Mets fan or into the inter-league MLB season....but if you are from NY (even though we live in Texas we are New Yorkers at heart) this is always a big series...and a great time to be in the big city. The Mets won round one behind their new pitching ace Johann Santana. The mets collected 13 hits and had enough pitching today to stop the Yankee attack. The Sunday night game is being televised on national TV (espn) so everyone can see all the crazy NY'ers … (3 comments)

Good Luck to the Florida Marlins - 05/13/08 03:34 PM
To those out in AR land who either live in South Florida or are Florida Marlins fans your team is having a huge start and a great year so far. The reason why I am writing this blog is because it seems none of you have noticed. The average attendance at Marlins games is abysmal. The team seems to have little support so far this year (and based on the average temps in South Florida it usually does not get better in the summer).
So for those who have not been paying attention your team is in first place...with a nice … (4 comments)

Is the Democratic Presidential Race Over? - 05/09/08 12:30 PM
I was watching CNN, MSNBC, NBC, and Fox news today...if you watch they are all saying the race is over...Barak Obama has won. I guess my issue with this is that we have heard that before...many times. I must admit it looks like the end has come...but I can not blame Hillary for continuing the fight...it ain't over till its over! as Yogi Berra once said.
What happens if another issue for Obama shows up between now and then? Another Rev. Wright or something like that...Democrats will be screaming for her to get back in.

TIVO is a Busy Realtors Best Friend! - 05/07/08 10:36 AM
We have been quite busy of late...lots of buyers and lots of sellers. Always the same issues...the buyers are nervous about the market...the sellers do not think the home they have lived in the past five years has a single thing wrong with it (after all they did an inspection five years ago and it was perfect)!
The days seem to go by very quickly and it is already 6pm...time for dinner, then over to the kids swim lessons, then time for a bath....maybe a little family time...then collapse at about 10pm!
Thank goodness for TIVO...we no longer need to look … (3 comments)

Baseball American League East Turned Upside Down! - 05/02/08 02:12 PM
I must confess I am not a big fan of the teams in the American League East....but it is always fun to watch the battle for the division...between the Red sox and Yankees. The Blue Jays always seem to be a solid team that ends up a distant third.
Not this year...the Tampa Bay Rays and the Baltimore Oriels are doing quite well indeed! The Orioles I think will fade...but I am starting to become a believer in the Rays. maybe not this year...but in years to come. Good hitting, good young pitching, and good gloves. If they are willing to … (3 comments)
