What a week-end~Friday school was canceled (probably a little premature but erring on the cautious side). Friday afternoon I still met the photographer at a new listing and set up showing appointments for all afternoon (while we entered the home in the MLS). 8 showings and multiple offers..the home is under contract and inspections are this morning! Geno and I watched some movies and on Sunday the family celebrated Geno's Birthday (it was in the 70's and yes Handsome Hudson was there)! I met with a seller who will be coming on the market the first of April and met with another … (13 comments)

It was a busy week-end..I showed property, had a buyer terminate on one of my listings and got it back under contract within 24 hours! A friend had surgery so we took over some food as well as checked out an Authentic Italian place that just opened at the entrance to our community. Check out Foodie Fridays this week! OMG..what a surprising Super Bowl game! Bryan Millard in our office played for the Seahawks as an offensive guard therefore the majority of us were rooting for his team! It's cold and damp and Monday morning! Grab a cup of … (10 comments)

What a week-end..Friday cold with ice and snow! Didn't last long but the kids got out of school so were thrilled with a day off! I negotiated some repairs on a listing and just submitted repair requests for a buyer after their inspections. I've been preparing for a listing appointment this afternoon and found time to start gathing some of our information for our accountant to submit for our income tax....I'll be glad when that job is over! Yesterday was lovely in the 60's.....not sure what today will bring! It's Monday morning again which means time to share some tech support … (25 comments)

What a week-end! We came to terms on my new listing with 5 offers in! I wrote an offer for my buyers Saturday  which was accepted...Yahoo!! Saturday afternoon I listed another home to come on market in 2 weeks in Canyon Creek. Saturday night was dinner at son's home so we enjoyed some time with Handsome Hudson and Sunday morning daughter in-law Erica ran in the 3M half marthan run! We cheered her on..11 minutes under her best time! Way to go Erika!! Of course had to watch the 2 thrilling football games...what an outcome!

  OMG the airports are crazy! It took us 2 days to get home from San Juan Puerto Rico! We  just enjoyed a relaxing  cruise on the Celebrity "Summit" ship to Barbados and upon our return were greeted with bad weather across the country tying up planes and airline crews! Great to be back and welcome to 2014!

Burr it's been chilly in Austin at night but has been warmer during the day with sunshine! I've had a great week-end..met with 3 sellers to list their homes and will be coming on the market in January and February. I came to terms on an offer for one of my buyers Friday night! We got to have dinner with friends Saturday night. I showed another buyer's girls the home their mom made an offer on last week and won in a multiple offer scenerio. My Christmas cards are now finally all stamped and addressed and most Christmas presents wrapped. It's Monday morning so grab a cup … (13 comments)

What a cold and blustery weekend in Austin! Our community Tree Lighting ceremony and horse carriage rides still went forward as planned..it wasn't for sissies that's for sure! The grandkids made it over for cookie and glass ornament decorating, pizza and Geno's home made marina and then off to the horse carriage rides! We piled back in for leftovers and hot chocolate! On Sunday I still made 2 listing appointments, showed property and wrote and offer. It’s Monday morning and time to start the new week off with my morning beverage - a hot cup of freshly brewed coffee.

Thanksgiving 2013 is over! Austin was back in the 70's over the week-end (with the same temperatures preducted all week - Joanna wish you and George had come this week) and we had the best week-end ever! Thanksgiving dinner was so fun and Handsome Hudson kept us busy, he is a little mover and shaker! Son helped us put up our tree and Friday it was decorated and all our Christmas decorations up! I delelivered an option check to a seller for my buyer and showed 2 homes to another buyer. Saturday night we went to a quaint, fun pizza spot with the kids and grandkids (will … (19 comments)

What a great week-end in Austin! Weather was  in the 70's so made it perfect to show property. I wrote an offer for one couple and am waiting to hear back from the listing agent. I showed another couple a fabulous new gated community that would work perfectly for them. I enjoyed a lovely dinner date with Geno Saturday night, signed  a new listing on Sunday and were invited to dinner at Hudson's house so worked in some wonderful Hudson time:).

ACL brought lots of vistors so we ventured down South Congress while everyone was at the concerts to scope out an itinerary for Joanna and George Cohlan when they come to Austin! Son and his wife Hudson ran in the IBM 5-K run Sunday morning..Hudson is getting an eductaion on what races are all about:).
