One of the first things that many clients ask when they are Relocating to the Houston area is "What about The Woodlands?  What is it that makes it so Attractive to Home Owners?"

Add on 8,000 acres of Greenspace, 135 Holes of Golf, multiple YMCA Facilities, First … (3 comments)

Green is Red Hot in Houston! But...Who is REALLY Green? - 03/12/08 11:41 AM
Green Building is growing around the Nation like Wildfire!  Houston is by no means an exception to this growth.  Green seems to be the thing to talk about around here, and the term used by someone last week was Cocktail Conversation.  No doubt that folks are hopping on the bandwagon and advertising GREEN Products.
I heard a statistic the other day that researchers expect consumers to be just as apt to purchase a product advertised as 'GREEN' as they would one advertised 'FREE' over the next few years.

BUT, that brings up another … (16 comments)
