There has been a lot of new commercial development over the past several months right here in Pflugerville, including the opening of Home Depot, SuperTarget, and Best Buy. One smaller business may not garner as much attention as the big guys, but Pflugerville Donuts will be opening its THIRD loc...

Let me clear something up before we begin. The cover of "Realtor" Magazine shown below is not the current one. In fact, it is from the month that I started on ActiveRain - August 2007. Just FYI. I recently taught a class about social media, and in order to answer the question, "Why do you do t...

I was excited to see that Austin was named #7 on HousingPredictor.com's latest list: "Hottest Buyers Markets in 2009". Housing Predictor provides independent real estate forecasts. Austin seems to be on this type of list perenially, but I know that this month is my best income month (and my busi...
