Sunday, January 25^th 2008 I will be holding open another exceptional home in the Balcones area; one of Austin's finest neighborhoods. This is a wonderful and inviting one story brick home that has been renovated and updated. The floor plan offers great separation of bedrooms with the Master and beautifully appointed Master Bath located on the opposite side of the home. The remodeled kitchen features stainless appliances and a huge granite island that opens to the family room. A wall of windows overlooks the spacious backyard and gardens. The home backs to camp Mabry offering quiet and privacy.

AGENTS, this is an excellent time to preview!

I will be on-site between 2pm and 4pm Sunday afternoon so please drop by for a tour of this exceptional property. If you have questions or are unable to attend or to schedule a private showing, I can be reached at my mobile number listed below. Thanks, I look forward to seeing you there!

If you or anyone you know is anticipating purchasing or selling real estate in the Balcones Neighborhood or anywhere in Central, West or Southwest Austin or the Westlake/Eanes School District area, I would be happy to be of assistance. Let me put my nineteen years success helping upscale buyers and sellers in Austin's finest neighborhoods to work for you. Contact me for a private consultation at your convenience!

Gena it did go well and I was busy for the duration for most of time. It is an exceptional home, built in 1955 but updaed throughout and in the heart of a great neighborhood!

Scott thanks, I am taking off over next weekend but plan to participate in the company OH the next weekend! I am going to be at a spectacular Mid-Century (1950's) home in the same neighborhood!

Erin I appreciate that and actually have already written about them. I have included the link below if you check back!

The sign said "OPEN HOUSE" but I felt like I was entering a Used Car Lot!

Bruce as you know I ambig on open houses for many reasons and I am also with a company that specializes in marketing upper end homes throughout Austin. It's a great thing to be able to have done this for almost 15 years and we truly stand head and shoulders above our competition. Oops, that was something of a commercial but we have worked hard to position ourselves in Austin as the acknowledged leader in this area!

Hi Dorie I do like open houses because I utilize them to get more buyers (and agents) through as well as meeting neighbors who often help by sending even more people by and by sending out info to interested friends and family!

Jeannette the event was well attended by a dozen groups and individuals. Some were neighbors (which I aways enjoy) there were some lookers and two serious buyers. I also had two agents preview. Please do participate in the group open house next week because it will be a great show of how many very good listings we are bow marketing!

Gail I always appreciate you dropping by and I was torn as far as the Superbowl. I like Kurt Warner but was pulling for the Steelers with my friend June Lewis in Pennsylvania!

Bob How are you doing! good to hear from you. I love this home too and have another that will be open in the same neighborhood this weekend!

Thanks for the kudos, I was flattered to have won the award!
