I'll admit it, I'm a gadget and technology freak. Anything new that makes noise and lights, I got to have me one! :) I'm not a Time Warner Cable subscriber (at least for televison anyway - I use DirecTV), but I do subscribe to their Roadrunner Internet. Still, I was excited to get a notice in the mail regarding their new … [Read more...]
I won't lie, I'm a numbers freak. I love numbers, they tell me everything I need to know (and things I don't EVER want to know).

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 … [Read more...]
Wow, I can't believe we're just a couple of weeks away for the last half of 2010! Of course with the second half of the year coming upon us, that means that 4th of July is just around the corner! Ah, the 4th of July holiday....the Day off work, BBQs, friends, family, AND the big celebration in Waco - "4th on the Brazos … [Read more...]
I love spring time! A chance to get out and enjoy the sunshine, the flowers, the humidty, (the sometimes) scorching temps in Texas, bees, mosquitos, insane drivers cutting through our state to destinations unknown! Did I say I love spring time? Hey, you can keep it local this weekend - enjoy the the a/c in your car … [Read more...]

Traditionally, with school out for the summer, June - August are the "hottest" months (boy you ain't lying!) for weather and real estate.
