This is an honest question that I ask of my fellow professionals in this industry.  Does Craig's List ever really work?  I have worked day in and day out trying to keep my little ad on the first page... and, for the work it entails, I have received a phone call on it once!  Even then the gentlema...

Wow.  What a crappy thing to have happen to you.  Wednesday night/Thursday morning I woke up at 3am with that "something isn't right" feeling.  Then I realized the time and thought I had a bad dream... or, perhaps it was just simply being awake at this time that "isn't right".  That was, until 7:...

I never really felt right about saying "happy" Memorial Day.  Somber Memorial Day always seemed so much more appropriate.  So, I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank all those current, past, and future people who have made the decision to serve for our country.  God bless you and your famil...

  It is so easy as we enjoy a 3 or 4 day holiday weekend to just relax... picnic with our family, go to BBQs at friends' homes, see a movie, or enjoy the Texas Tax Free shopping on Energy Star items... but, please, keep in mind that these are NOT the reasons for Memorial Day.  We have the abilit...

I recently began working with a client from out of the Texas state area.   She came from the Pennsylvania area and worked for a home builder out there.  Even though she was a re-lo buyer, she did not have a Realtor.  I was shocked.  I encouraged her to find one... and quickly!  I could feel resis...

"You can do anything if you have enthusiasm.  Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hope rise to the stars.  Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eye; it is the swing in your gait, the grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of your will and the energy to execute your ideas.  Enthusiasts are fig...

Although my babies are of the 4-legged, furry variety I still wanted to wish all the hard working mother's out there a very special day!  My mom happens to be one of my best friends and I am not sure what I would do without her.  She is my confidant, my friend, my advisor, and so many other irrep...
