I originally found Jeremy K. Frost through the state, county, city rankings windows on Activerain. The ones that show you where you stand, compared to your peers, in AR points. My two previous attempts to refer clients to AR members had not gone well but I decided that the third time could be the charm. I was looking to refer the son of a close friend to a Realtor® that worked Hays County Texas. When the list popped up I recognized Jeremy's face. He had commented from time to time on several of my blog posts.After reading more than a dozen of Jeremy's posts I made contact and the feeling out began. This was a first time home buyer that still needed to be pre-qualified. I wanted to make sure that Jeremy understood what he was getting into. Past experience has taught me that not every age...

  Looking to purchase a home or refinance using your San Marcos TX VA Loans benefits?  The rate you can obtain is a big factor in determining the lender you will choose as well as what your payment will be.   The market can be volatile, and Texas VA Rates can change daily, and can even fluctuate during the course of a day.   So why does this happen, and what determines the interest rates you can get?   All mortgages are backed by bonds, securities that are traded on the open market like stocks. Mortgage bonds are what back mortgages, including San Marcos TX VA Loans. Mortgage bonds are also called mortgage backed securities.   Mortgage backed securities are just like the stock market in that they can go up or down during the course of a day, therefore influencing all mortgage rates incl...

I had a great time last Thursday at the Jenni Finlay 6th anniversary party.  I went to see James McMurtry, yes he's Larry McMurtry's son and he was fantasic.  I also got the chance to hear some artists that I wasn't familiar with, everyone was quite good but there were some standouts.  Lincoln Durham was incredible, he blew the roof off.  Pandora say I like lyric driven rock with minor chords - whatever that means, but if you like the Blues and Outlaw Country you've got to check him out, here's a link.   I also really enjoyed Rod Picott, great working class blues. This was the first time I went to the Cheatham St. warehouse and I'll definitely go back.  The place was intimate, smoke free (when I was there) and they have an outstanding bar, at least for my needs, Maker's Mark, Jameson & ...
