Money is always the bottom line. So when someone searches for a Realtor, shouldn’t their Realtor’s commission be the most important factor? Not necessarily. I recently had a client ask me to take 4% commission to list his home, instead of my typical 6%. I always offer the buyer's agent 3%, so th

I used to live in Canyon Lakes West off of Fry Rd. in Cypress, TX. I liked the neighborhood because I knew a lot of my neighbors and they were all really great people. We were lucky to have such great neighbors, but it’s not quite the neighborhood that Bridgeland is. I road cycle around 30 to 40

Imagine that you spent 3 months getting your house ready to sell. Then you hired a Realtor to list your house. You didn’t have many showings in the first month. The second month, you start to get nervous about whether or not you will be able to sell it at the price you want. Every time you leave

If you’ve been thinking about buying, NOW’S THE TIME! I’m talking about interest rates today because I’ve had numerous people ask me about them in the last couple weeks. Most people understand that interest rates are rising because banks are starting to loan money to consumers again. What they d
