Homes for Lease in Wylie Texas 2011 Market Report
Wylie is a great home for rentals. Over 310 homes leased in 2011 ranging from $550.00 to $2200.00. The average rental price is .73 a square foot. Our office gets a lot of lease calls mostly asking for $1200.00 or under. I have lease over 40 homes this year in and around Wylie. In my opinion, we are getting alot of folks from Garland and Plano wanting newer homes to live in. Wylie is full of choices.

Should I pay my taxes if we close in January 2012? - 12/29/11 02:24 PM
Should I pay my taxes if we close in January 2012?
I have a seller who is closing in January 2012. He called me last week and asked me if he should pay his taxes on his home since he is closing next month.  My response was , YES!  Please pay your taxes even though they will be held out at closing. Title companies are required to collect taxes for each closing.  If something were to happen and the taxes didn't get paid then you might get a late fee assessed. Or worse, what if the buyer opted out and you hadn't … (2 comments)

 I had to share this information from a lender who sends me regular emails.  All I can say is WOW! I am not sure what I think about this yet or how it will effect our business .....MUST READ!

Negotiating with Non Real Property Items - 12/21/11 05:16 PM
Negotiating with Non Real Property Items
During negotiations the topic of offering Non Real Property Items during a counter offer comes up quite often. 
Non real property is anything that is not considered an attachment and normally does not convey with the property. Sellers and buyers will try to include household items and lawn equipment in the negotiations.
A seller asked me today if he could maintain his sales price and offer the buyer a riding lawn mower, a weed eater and the refrigerator?  I really don't like to get involved in negotiating these type items during the counter offers unless I think the … (5 comments)

Hey I paid my 2011 Taxes ! Why are you collecting them at the closing table?? - 12/21/11 03:53 PM
I have a closing this friday ! Merry Christmas to me!!
The seller reviewed the final settlement statement and said to me "Hey I paid my 2011 Taxes ! Why are you collecting them at the closing table??"
I called the title company and this is the answer:
As for the taxes most big banks use third party companies to issue out their taxes, so even though it shows they have sent payment it is payment to that third party company not the actual taxing entity.  At this time the county is still showing taxes are due and … (2 comments)

Welcome to Fate , Texas: Preserving their destiny which is "FATE" - 12/15/11 05:38 PM
Fate, Texas Market Report For Homes Sold in 2011
When I was in highschool in Rockwall, Fate was a mere blink and you miss it town.  Though the town was established in the late 1800's, in 1950 Six men held a meeting for the purpose of establishing fresh drinking water from the new Lake Lavon. These men are honored in the naming of the streets that are built. . The City of Fate will continue to recognize the residents and business owners of our town in the past with this same honor. The new residents of Fate will have a part of … (0 comments)

Keep in touch with buyers who haven't bought yet!
I was working with two young buyers last spring who never really found what they wanted in a home.
I could tell when I was out with them, they liked what most young buyers do:
Newer Homes Granite Counter-tops Austin Stone Elevation Wrought Iron Spindle Staircases Game-rooms or Media Rooms After several outings they told me they were going on vacation and they would get back with me.  I didn't have them on a drip email (my bad!) but I did call once in awhile to see how they were and if they … (7 comments)

Put your foot down...be a landlord during the holidays! - 12/12/11 11:38 AM
Put your foot down...be a landlord during the holidays!
I heard this on a national radio show this weekend and thought it was very appropriate! Especially this time of year. As the holiday season rolls in, landlord's experience many more late pays due to tenants spending too much during the holidays.  
I had one tenant tell me they can't pay rent until they get paid next week. In the next sentence he told me his wife bought Christmas Lights for the house and wanted to know if they could string them up?! 
Every year we hear the same stories at Christmas time. … (9 comments)
