lake livingston: Lake Conroe Has Hot Properties at a Cool Price! - 10/24/10 04:57 PM
Hot Property!
Now is the time to purchase Lake Conroe Property. Lake Conroe Real Estate has never been a Hotter Commodity at a better price than it is today! Not long ago Lake Conroe Subdivisions were beginning to grow around the lake and were considered very, very rural. We are rural no more! However, we are lucky to have all the amenities of City Living right around the corner and the perk of having the Feel of Rural Living on the lake.
Our beautiful body of water is fed by the San Jacinto River and was created to be used as … (7 comments)

lake livingston: Don't look back! The IRS could be on your heels. - 05/04/10 04:38 PM
So you gave up to Foreclosure? The IRS may be on your heels!If you are one of the thousands of homeowners that felt relief by allowing their homes tobecome foreclosed on your relief may be short lived. Many of us became wrapped up in theability to use our homesteads as ATM machines and the banks were fine with it. Now, after the money is spent and debt is rising you find that your home is not worth the amount you havein it. Yikes! The job market has tightened and you may have even lost your livelyhood. Or, you had a line … (88 comments)

lake livingston: How to rescue a squirrel... - 10/18/09 07:11 AM
One of my favorite things on Sunday is having the time to surf Active Rain and say hello to my friends. I love reading all the diverse topics and being able to view the world from others' perspectives! I learn, I laugh and I love getting to know so many different people and personalities. Just opening the dashboard is a wealth of information and so much better than the Houston Chronicle even though you don't give out coupons! Ha!
I just read Michael Thornton's Feature "FIREPLACES-HIDDEN DANGER" and it now brings me to the topic of this post....
SQUIRRELS.

lake livingston: WHY RAISE THE CEILING IN A NEGOTIATION? - 10/16/09 11:10 AM
When assisting "potential clients" or "clients" do you qualify "CEILING PRICE"? If they tell you their top dollar is $400,000 Shouldn't you GO ONE STEP FURTHER FOR THE GOOD OF THE CLIENT?
What is that one step???
Think about it.
LIFE IS A NEGOTIATION ANY DIRECTION WE TURN.
Not just with our clients but in everyday structure.
PERIOD. IT JUST IS.
In this day of the current economy...we MUST KNOW THERE IS ROOM FOR NEGOTIATION!!!
If they qualify for $400,000 then why not try $401,000 to $425,000?
One of our main purposes of being a Realtor is to handle the … (11 comments)

lake livingston: CLIENT AND A FRIEND~AR REFERRAL~ALL GOOD THINGS! - 06/30/09 02:52 AM
There have been moments that I have wondered, "why on earth am I pounding this keyboard???"
When I first joined Active Rain I felt like the tiniest little droplet of water in a huge field after a deluge. "How can I make a difference here and a difference in my business amongst all these amazing writers?"
My posts began showing up on Google right off the bat. It didn't matter how many posts I wrote or didn't write. A few months later I began receiving referrals and my cold feet warmed up like butter in a hot pan.
About three months … (25 comments)

lake livingston: Lake Livingston WATERFRONT ~ - 06/18/09 08:23 AM
Introducing the greatest getaway on Lake Livingston! This beautiful estate is on 3+acres of gorgeous lushly landscaped WATERFRONT LAND.

WOO~HOO WONDERLAND! Walls of windows give you the perfect view of Lake Livingston's Bethy Cove.

lake livingston: GREAT SHOWING? Beware of the neighbors! - 06/18/09 06:04 AM
You know, I'm certain each one of us Realtors has a bag full of stories about GREAT SHOWINGS GOING BAD BECAUSE OF THE NEIGHBORS...don't we?
Most of us have neighbors. How many times have you had a next door neighbor approach you during a showing to give you their two cents?
How many times have they actually helped?
In the beginning of the summer I had a very interested party in a Waterfront listing and a strong second showing. Sitting right on the water was a second lot that was included with the sale of the home. We were walking the … (8 comments)

lake livingston: The Tortoise and The Hare~ - 06/17/09 03:47 PM
Sure we all have a race to run each day we arise into the world of Real Estate. But, what is it that is really going to make us stand apart from the rest?
Our persistence. We don't have to run faster than anyone else...
Our sincerity. We need to PROVE we mean what we say. And, stick to it.
Our ability to look out for the other person first...not our pocketbooks.
Our need to abide by our National Ethics that give us Pride in our Profession.
We MUST be able to step aside and allow another to take the paycheck … (4 comments)

lake livingston: Our fish are dying....it's the heat. - 06/17/09 03:21 PM
Our fish are dying! Yep, they really are. In the smaller bodies of Texas the fish are dying because of the heat. From what I understand, the waters in the smaller bodies turn over when there is not enough oxygen to support the life on the bottom. This in turn kills the fish in the main body of water by suffocating them.
If you have a smaller pond or lake or body of water that is temporarily drying up ... take heed. You should feed the waters with fresh water and a means of circulation to save the fish.
If you … (1 comments)

lake livingston: Reflection and Real Estate~Who We Are in Black and White - 06/15/09 09:33 AM

I was reflecting on past comments from my favorite people on Active Rain. I came across this one and decided to re-post. In the last year we have lost several of our favorite Rainers. Reflecting on their memories gives me joy.
Have you ever thought about just how powerful the word REFLECTION is?

"I do wish I could have done many things differently but at least today is the day I can REFLECT ON in the future...."...Deb
 
We can look into a mirror and see exactly how the world sees us. But, there's so much more to the word...

lake livingston: What Does it Take to be a REALtor? - 04/28/09 01:55 PM
Today's market is testing us all. Testing us in a way that is beyond normal boundaries. Today is the day that we decide who is Real and who is going. Going where? By the wayside. Either you're ready to place your license on the line or you're waffling like what's going on at the local Waffle house.
Real Estate is not part time and only the strong survive. You think you've spent too much time with Real Estate and it's time to spend family time or take a long hot shower? Think first....

lake livingston: Establish a Niche Market...Stay on Top! - 06/03/08 03:02 AM
 
A good definition of a Niche Market is a Market In Which You Specialize. So many agents seem to be available for anyone at about any time. After viewing the video snip from Brian Block (that is hillarious so click to view), I really began thinking about our diverse markets. Brian uses dialogue that is really too close to home for a few agents...Brian said, "I don't know much about your area or your floorplan and your house is a mess but I really want you to list with me.."
This may come across as funny but how many of you … (86 comments)

lake livingston: You CAN keep your home! The first step, part 1. - 12/23/07 01:35 PM
Do you hear a wolf at your door?  If you've fallen behind on your house payments, it's usually because of some major life change. Whether it is due to a divorce, illness, job loss or worse, circumstances can cause you to fall behind. When a trauma hits a family the automatic response is to throw our hoods over our heads and hide from danger. We are psychologically programmed to shut down and hold our fears and pain inside while smiling to the world. Remember that doing nothing may insure the foreclosure of your home.
Believe it or not, Lenders do NOT want … (13 comments)
