I received an email this week from a friend asking if I knew what "Grand  Texas" is all about.

I had not heard anything about it... and I live and work in Tomball, TX. 

I looked into it and found out that Grand Texas is currently in the development stage, however it's scheduled to open in the Spring of 2010!

Grand Texas Tomball is an adventure park to be located in Tomball, Texas, about 25 miles north
of downtown Houston, and about 7 miles southwest of The Woodlands.

Grand Texas will include rock climbing, a mechanical bull, giant arcade and other activities
based on Texas history and culture.

Grand Texas will include: pony rides, petting zoos, pig races, a peewee rodeo, canoeing, catch & release fishing, a reception hall reminiscent of the Texas State Governors Mansion, and much, much more.

HOW AWESOME!  I am very excited.  Support Grand Texas :)  Go to the meeting scheduled for this week.  See you there!

Kiplinger dubs Houston the "Comeback Kid" because after the oil bust of the 1980s it, "reclaimed its title as energy capital of the U.S. and added aerospace, technology and medical companies to the mix, generating more than 100,000 jobs in 2007".

No matter where you live, you have probably been hearing about the high rate of foreclosures all over the United States.  Are you interested in buying a foreclosure home because you want a good deal?  Well, it's possible that you could find a great deal on a recently foreclosured him.  But, just because it's a foreclosure doesn't automatically mean it's a good or great deal. 

Do you know how to determine what the values are in the area, the community?  If not, you might not be getting the deal you think you are.  Contact a licensed real estate professional to help you through the process.  Most foreclosed homes that are on the market are listed in the local MLS.  And your agent can show and hel you with the purchase.

I've been working with a client the last week or so trying to find a title company that will close the sale of a property he bought at Tax Sale over a year ago.  It's been interesting.... no one knows what I'm asking and they have to ask the UW and once the underwriter hears that it was purchases at a Tax Sale less than 2 years ago, they don't want to touch it.

But, I believe I have found someone that can close these Tax Sale purchases as soon as they are recorded as bought by the new owner.  If you need an agent to assist you with a transaction on a home that you purchased at a tax sale in Texas, give me a call!  I look forward to working with you!

Are you behind on your house payments and possibly facing foreclosure?  I am not the expert on stopping foreclosures, but I recently touched based with a few people that are. 

I know someone that can assist you in negotiating with your mortgage company so that they can buy the home from you and avoid the foreclosure from going on your credit.  Call me for more information!

Don't wait a minute longer... the sooner you can get this resolved, the sooner you can move on. 

You have options, talk to someone before it's too late.  I'd like to share some recent Texas statistics with you as an example of what is going on:
