roundrock real estate: Keep Your Chin Up...
- 04/20/08 12:19 AM
When I was graduating from High School, my father (a minister) gave me a book for graduation (a copy of "In His Steps" by Charles M. Sheldon). I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and have several copies still on my bookshelf; however, the most life-impacting thing about this gift was that my father autographed the book for me and transcripted a poem entitled "Don't Quit" in the cover pages to the book. I memorized this poem and it has become a theme for my life through all the difficulties that each of us face from time to time. With the slow condition … (6 comments)

- 04/16/08 09:57 AM
In my market, we have not seen the dramatic shift that many others have and real estate is still selling here pretty strong; however, make no mistake, we ARE in a buyer's market. Austin has had such a long run of having sellers in control that they are having a HARD TIME accepting the fact that they no longer are! They want to overprice, dreaming that there is a STUPID buyer out there somewhere and my job as the listing agent is to find them. If I can't then I must be a bad REALTOR® which we all know is HOGWASH. … (39 comments)

roundrock real estate: "I Have a Buyer That is Postal..."
- 04/04/08 06:14 AM
And how often does that happen to us when we are working with buyers? Pretty frequently I would say. Years ago I adopted using a buyer consultative approach to building a relationship with the buyers that I work with. I suggest you do the same and I am sure you will be pleased with the results you gain from using this approach. A buyer consultative approach requires one thing at the core - CITO! The buyer ust be willing to "Come In To the Office" to meet with you or there is a good chance they are a tire kicker and … (4 comments)
roundrock real estate: Another tip to help you lose weight...
- 04/02/08 06:02 AM
By the way, just for all your information, to supplement Gary's diet (which many of you have requested!), I also use a modified Loma Linda diet from Loma Linda University to cleanse my system once to twice a month. It has also been handy at breaking through barriers to keep the weight coming off. And of course, ALWAYS DRINK PLENTY OF WATER (natures cleanser). This is a seven day diet plan as follows: LOMA LINDA DIET (Loosely translated!) DAY 1: Fruits only (excluding bananas) DAY 2: Vegetables only (excluding corn, peas, potatoes) DAY 3: Fruits & Vegetables only (same exclusions) DAY 4: Bananas & skim milk DAY … (20 comments)

Having been in real estate investing for over 30 years and in the real estate sales and management business now for 6 years, I have learned a few things. For one, like any other business, real estate is cyclical in nature and like Texas weather, if you don't like it today, stick around it will change tomorrow! The entire country has experienced a slump in the RE business over the past year or so (as we all know), however here is the reality - This too shall pass. So based on the knowledge that this period of slump will pass, what … (2 comments)

You have a general idea of what homes look like in the area, prices, differences in costs for numbers of bedrooms, baths, size and location, location, location. Next comes the "real" home hunt.
