top realtors in austin: I am where I am today because my Broker had a vision! - 06/16/14 08:44 AM
I am where I am today because my Broker had a vision!
 
When I started in real estate in the early 1990’s I felt I was in the right place at the right time. I obtained my license and thrived in an environment of seasoned professionals. I learned from the best. Everyone was willing to help and guide me my first 2-3 years in the business. I vowed I’d remember to give back and I make it a point to mentor newer agents.
I trusted my broker. I listened and adopted the philosophy of always doing the right thing. … (21 comments)

These pretzels are making me thirsty!

Handsome Hudson finds that swimming and playing in the pool is hard work!  Sometimes he just needs to take a break with his dad, rest and refuel with some baked pretzels!  He is learning it’s also a time for some water (no, not pool water)...some good drinking water to wash down those salty pretzels!

How do I determine an effective date on a real estate contract in Texas?
 
I’m often asked how an effective date is determined on a real estate contract in Texas. Real estate is local and practices vary from state to state. It’s important for a buyer and seller to understand the way real estate changes hand wherever they live.
 
I see many agents and even brokers make mistakes related to the effective date of a contract. It’s very important to make sure the date is correct because the timeline is established from the effective date for the performance of … (29 comments)
