remax: Southern Sweet Tea - 05/17/08 04:59 AM
Drinking sweet tea is one of the oldest and most exceptional of Southern traditions. As Dolly Parton's character in Steel Magnolias puts it, it's the "house wine of the South." The South reveres its traditions, and sweet tea is one of them. As an April Fools' Day prank in 2003, Georgia State Rep. John Noel introduced a bill that would have made it a misdemeanor for a restaurant owner not to include sweet tea on the menu.

remax: Landlords - 05/14/08 12:06 PM
Many landlords believe that they cannot reject any applicant for any reason, that they have to accept the first one to come along with the money or risk the grief of a lawsuit or Fair Housing complaint. Not so. There are numerous legitimate, businesslike reasons to reject a prospective tenant because of past or present behavior.
1. Unsatisfactory references from landlords, employers and/or personal references. These could include reports of repeated disturbance of their neighbors' peaceful enjoyment of their homes; reports of gambling, prostitution, drug dealing or drug manufacturing; damage to the property beyond normal wear and tear; reports of violence … (1 comments)

remax: City of Terrell Hills - 05/11/08 03:06 PM
If buyers tell me they want to live in Terrell Hills, it is an indication to me that they want to live near downtown in an urban setting "inside Loop 410."  In light of that, I find it amusing that almost a century ago Terrell Hills was considered "a remote rural area."  In researching the history of the city of Terrell Hills, I found the following information on the Terrell Hills website:
"In 1919, a group of six families and 3 bachelors were organized with a desire to emigrate from the City of San Antonio and settle in a remote rural area. They … (2 comments)

De-Cluttering Your Home Before Listing
Whenever I list a house that is part of an estate, I am always a little saddened to see all the things a couple or a person has collected during their lifetime that will now be sold to strangers with the unsold items donated to Goodwill. Many times the survivors want very little of what is left to them by a relative.  People collect an amazing amount of "stuff," and many people collect a lot of "junk."  Some people even hoard "stuff" and "junk" which creates a big problem for themselves and their loved ones.  If you haven't used it in … (7 comments)
