raylene lewis realtor: I Was My Own Worst Client -- But Now "We" are UC
- 09/06/08 04:29 PM
I recently sold a subdivision lot that I had purchased back in 2002 and it was time to designate a property for a 1031 exchange. As my husband has always wanted property for "Family Time" aka - so he can go hunting and fishing (just kidding honey) I have been on a land hunt for the last month. I feel that I am a good Realtor when It comes to Residential Housing, but when it came to Farm and Ranch land, I knew nothing. I tried referring myself to someone else -- someone who specialized in Farm and Ranch land. But I found … (13 comments)
raylene lewis realtor: My First Me-Me

Well, here it goes, my first attempt at a Me-Me. Thank you to Sondra Meyer for Tagging me! I am a Realtor, Mother and Wife. I care about my family, other people and animals. I think about lots of different things at the same time. I smell like Flower by Kenzo I hope. :D I'm scared of roaches and spiders. I have a home, two wonderful children, a teacup schnauzer and a loving husband. I fear something will happen to my Sister, Mother, Husband or Kiddos. I can hardly wait for my family's Disney cruise in Nov. I just do what I can. I forget … (8 comments)
raylene lewis realtor: Selling Your College Station Home: The Importance of a First Impression – The Exterior
- 08/20/08 09:56 AM
When you are ready to sell your Bryan, College Station home, and it is time to place your property on the market, the goal will be to achieve the best possible sales price and sell your property in the time-frame that best meets your needs. We are often told when meeting other people for the first time, that the first impression is the most important. This same philosophy is true with houses as well. Nothing is more important than the first impression a Buyer will receive when they take their first look at a home. As a Seller, there are two … (4 comments)
raylene lewis realtor: A Quick Story about Extraordinary Mothers! - For All Animal Lovers! This is Great!
- 08/20/08 09:11 AM
Like many of you, I am a HUGE Animal lover! I see the pets who live in my home as members of my family. I was outraged when, at the closing table, the Buyer's agent told me "Raylene, you know why it took that house of yours a while to sell?" (It went UC in less than 3 weeks, so I didn't think it took long at all!) "It didn't sell because of those Yappy Dogs next door. But I told my client's not to worry, it was nothing a little Antifreeze under the fence couldn't take care of!" I was … (14 comments)
raylene lewis realtor: College Station: They Say Everything is Bigger in Texas - Check out this Frog!
- 08/19/08 09:49 AM
College Station Texas is a wonderful place to live with a variety of wildlife. This toad was found in the parking lot at the Home Depot on University Drive. Luckily, "Kermit" was rescued and taken to a heavenly pond in South College Station where he found more water and bugs and less asphalt and cars. In case you didn't know, 2008 is the Year of the Frog. This has because Frogs, Toads, Salamanders, newts, etc. are going extinct. Luckily, most amphibians in College Station, Texas have not been affected. In looking for information as to what type of amphibian this was, I came across the Texas … (9 comments)
raylene lewis realtor: If you are going to Sell the product, Carry the Refills!!! (Non Real Estate Related)
- 08/13/08 05:15 PM
I don't want to waste anyone's time here...but have you noticed that some companies will sell a product that requires refills and then not carry the refills? What is the deal here? 2 Examples: 1) Bought an H20 Steam Mop from Linens and Things - "As seen on TV $99.00" OOOHHHH! Love it! As a Realtor, I can't stand a dirty house! I start seeing dust, dirty floors or spots on the carpet and I just can't relax...gotta clean! (Guess I'm just too much into what buyers would be looking at LOL!) Opened the product, tried it out, and it worked like … (11 comments)
raylene lewis realtor: Job Description: Parent — The Requirements of the Job
- 08/11/08 05:09 PM
In My book, the only job better than being a Realtor is being a Parent. Have you ever thought of what the job description would be for being a parent? When you are "Hired" it is a permanent position and a challenging career awaits you! You are placed in an environment that is sometimes stressful and often chaotic. You are "On Call" 24 hours a day 7 days a week and the older your children get the more extensive "Business Traveling" becomes required. Unfortunately, you get no pay for "Overtime", and your "Travel Expenses" are not reimbursable. There are no "Paid … (8 comments)

raylene lewis realtor: What the Psychic Failed to See - A Funny Real Estate Story
- 07/26/08 04:09 PM
Nearly all of my clients are wonderful. Each comes with their own list of search criteria, personal preferences, quirks and likes & dislikes. And with every client that walks through my door, comes a story and an adventure. Currently two of my clients, I'll call them Jack and Jill to protect the innocent, were lucky enough to have their adventure on the first day of their house hunting experience. I sold the house Jack and Jill were living in fairly quickly, so when I met them on our first day of house hunting I knew we had to get started without … (3 comments)
