austin real estate blog: AUSTIN UNIQUE FLIP HAPPY CREPES
- 11/14/13 11:43 PM
One of the real treats of Austin are the many food trailers and trucks that help add charm to the city. Flip Happy Crepes is a popular stop for hundreds each day. In 2006, young Moms Nessa Higgins and Andrea Day Boykin met when their kids started kindergarten at Zilker elementary. They got to know each other and realized they were both looking for a food venture that would allow them to contribute to the household economy while being their own bosses, and working when their kids were in school. "We decided on a trailer because it was an affordable avenue to take and allowed … (3 comments)

austin real estate blog: SPEECHLESS MONDAY?
- 11/04/13 12:19 AM
Standing in this tunnel (the Hwy. 60 tunnel) this past weekend in Arizona had me speechless. This was the Tunnel my grandparents drove through in the 1940's when they drove from Miami Az. down to Phoenix Az. Clearly only large enough for one car and carved out a granite mountain. You had to hope another car was not coming down the other side. The road leading in and out was narrow hardly large enough for two small cars. No railing on the open side of the road. One wrong turn and you would plunge hundreds of feet to the bottom.

austin real estate blog: MONDAY MORNING COFFEE THOUGHTS
- 10/20/13 03:22 PM
Mondays are key to getting the week started. A good way to begin is to grab a cup of coffee (or favorite morning beverage) take a few moments to ready your mind for the week in a quiet place. You may have to wait until the kids are off to school or the morning rush is calmed.
Make sure you get some quiet time to think about the week. We tend to underestimate the importance of a few moments offline. No phone, computer, TV or other distractions. Sit quietly for a few moments collect your thought take notes as needed. … (4 comments)

austin real estate blog: The Sacrifice of...On The Market
- 10/12/13 12:23 AM
A TRIBUTE TO HOME OWNERS ON THE MARKET...
When we are in buyers mode we are not thinking about the person who owns the home we are looking to buy. Rightfully so, we are focused on finding what will work best for our family. We are looking at every detail of the home and making a list of what we like, what we do not like and what needs to be fixed.
The Home owner who puts their home on the Market is required to keep their home in show case form. Life continues as normal but the seller … (3 comments)

austin real estate blog: IDEAS FROM THE BACK OF YOUR MIND...
- 10/08/13 04:12 AM
Things look strange from the back of your mind but if you steady your gaze you will see something interesting. Familiar perhaps but backwards. Out of the box so to speak. Outside the lines.
The back of your mind is the unorganized closet. Take a moment to look around you will find some things you can use that spark fresh ideas.
Ahha there's something...remember this? It is a Disney dollar. Got it the first year they were making them. I have several they are the "A" series. This belongs in a frame. What to do with it after that? … (3 comments)

austin real estate blog: Dell introduces new tablet and gets good review
- 10/04/13 12:45 AM
DELL IS A ROUND ROCK TEXAS BASED COMPANY.
According to the Austin Business journal
The pundits have had more than a day to poke at Dell Inc.’s new product line, and here’s what they're saying.
TechCrunch writer Chris Velazco wasn’t wowed by the new laptops or “the silly Android tablets,” but he said the company's first pint-sized Windows 8 tablet wowed him even though it lacked style. He posted a video with his review.
This is Dell's first venture into tablets. Looks like they have something to work with and the price point looks really great.
