As the Real Estate World Turns – True Real Estate Stories
Before I entered the world of real estate about 7 years ago, I worked in radio for a long time. Boy! You'd think that in the radio business I'd have some wild stories (and I do), but NOTHING compared to the stories in this business! Some good and some bad, but nevertheless, interesting. What's great about hearing all the other Realtor stories is that I seem to learn something new (and VERY valuable) that I may have never thought of, For instance: 1) I learned that when I'm having an open house, tell the seller to go through the medicine cabinets and make sure any presicription medications … [Read More...]

Waco Real Estate Update – Home Statistics and Market Information
As we approach summer (and the "busy" season), many folks are looking to sell or buy a home. Traditionally, with school out for the summer, June - August are the "hottest" months (boy you ain't lying!) for weather and real estate. The good news is that typically there are more homes on the market to choose from, the bad news is that their are more buyers looking for those homes too. So sometimes (yes, even in this market), you may face some competition with other buyers. Just today for example, we submitted on offer for a house that has been on the market for about 3 months, unfortunately for our … [Read More...]

Waco Real Estate Update – The Swimming Pool Factor
With the Texas Summer officially here, I usually get more phone calls from people asking about homes with swimming pools. It's not surprising with the warmer temps. The temperature in Waco today, I think the weather guy said, was 738 degrees! With the heat index, it feels like 1,216 degrees. Often though, some of those folks who are asking me about homes with pools are often surprised how 'rare' they are. You would think with the Texas heat every year, more homes on the market would actually have a cement pond! I decided to do the math and analysis of homes on the market that actually have … [Read More...]
