Reel Productions TV just returned from a multi-day shoot in San Antonio, Texas and I have to say, agents there have a lot on their side! This was my first trip to San Antonio and I was struck by the amazing natural beauty of the area coupled by the architectural detail that exudes culture. Not to mention, the people are some of the nicest you would ever want to meet! And why wouldn't they be happy with one of the coolest downtowns in all of America? The Riverwalk rocked! And did I mention the year long balmy weather?
But let's talk real estate. We were there to shoot community profiles so we got to see the ins and outs of several metros through the San Antonio area. All were quaint with their own appeal...shopping, restaurants, views, etc. But all boasted amazing houses. You've heard "every thing's bigger in Texas", well, they take that saying to heart with their homes. Even if the house wasn't large in size it's curb appeal felt monstrous.
And then, there's this out of Business Week today:
