No, that's not a typo. This house had 114 showings on it. What was wrong with it, you might ask. Nothing! It is a great house! This is where pricing competetively can sometimes backfire... The house comped out at $289k. I looked at the comps every couple of weeks to keep up with the activity

I got a call today at 3:30pm. Within the message, the lady said, "Will you please call me back by 4:30pm as I have already wasted so much time leaving messages with other agents who have not returned my calls." I called her back in under 5 minutes. She was shocked that I called back, and even m

Man, I want to scream!! My husband is in Austin right now to check on the house... the workers were there late last night, but you've gotta wonder why. Look at this picture. First, the cabinets are wrong. That tiny tiny drawer, underneath the opening for the oven, is supposed to be a full-siz

I've been in real estate for almost 9 years. Real estate was my passion. I was a workaholic. I took, and still do take, every transaction very personally. I become friends with many of the buyers and sellers. To this day, I get excited for a buyer when they submit an offer and it's accepted.

Another pretty good week. Did you know the President had a daughter? There was no daughter at the inauguration, only the son. Well, well, well, the mole is Sean afterall. Wasn't that obvious. I can't believe "Samuel" didn't go and kill Rosa after she called. It seems uncharacteristic of him.

Is there a process you go through in the evenings to shut down your brain? I've been up since 1:30am this morning as I couldn't sleep. My brain wouldn't SHUT UP! No matter what I did with my usual tricks, I couldn't get my brain to power off and allow me to sleep. I even got up and worked for 2

I was in Austin, TX for a couple of days this past week. Much progress on the house, yeah! The biggest change is the exterior look of the house. To jog your memory, here is what the messed up version looked like. They gave us a squared opening, and the front top is flat, in one dimension.

This was an exciting episode! Very action packed. When Jack and Renee called Larry for his help and he needed proof that she wasn't under durress, I thought that was the smartest move all season, but my husband thought it was lame and a waste of time. Sorry, but the President agreed to meet wit

I've always liked the saying that being second is just being first in a long line of losers. Not that I'm saying I'm a loser, or that anyone else here in Texas is a loser, but for almost 3 years, I always saw the number 1 on my main page, and for the past week, all I see are 2's... I changed my
