We receive quite a few questions about our competition and other agents selling in the Katy area (and for that mater around the City of Houston). The questions come to us about services offered and what we can do for them that another agent can not...or will not do. We know that quite a few agents advertise FULL SERVICE FOR LESS! It is difficult to tell what they mean by FULL SERVICE but sometimes the name will tell you that you are receiving limited services. If a firm name is asking the owner to sell the home (sale BY OWNER) or that it will ASSIST the owner, or they will HELP the owner sell...you should have a good idea about how much services you will receive.   We feel strongly that clients receive the largest bottom line when they appeal to all buyers...from all the sources availab... 05/26/2007

 A Coach!If Tiger Woods, the best golfer in the world can remove his EGO and hire a coach, why not join him?  I hired my real estate trainer and coach 16 years ago.  After selling real estate in Houston, Katy, and Sugar Land Texas for 15+ years and selling 50-75 homes a year, thank God I found MFO.  Now I sell over 200 homes a year, work less, and give better service to my clients who hire me.  I was recently at a real estate Top Producer seminar in CA and they ask me to be a table speaker on what I had learned from coaching.  I wrote 31/2 pages of my "Top Ten" ideas. I believe in sharing and will gladly help any Realtor who wants to grow, and learn how to give better service, and in turn make more money in less time.  Of course I would not be doing my job if I did not remind you to sen... 04/25/2007

Having been a Realtor in the greater Houston Texas area since 1976, I am still amazed at how affordable it is to live in our area of the US.  We offer homes for sale that in most parts of the country seem unbelievable, and I am always ask why?  Part of the reason is the amount of land that we have to build on and develop, the cost of labor, and economic factors are the three top reasons.  The average cost of a home is only around $200,000 and that buys you a very nice home in great school districts, and great neighborhoods with outstanding amenities.  One of the top master planed communities on the west side of town in Katy Texas is Cinco Ranch.  Cinco Ranch has several large stock lakes with 11+ pound bass,catfish, perch, etc. + free sail boats, a water park, seven pools, several tenni... 04/11/2007

"Flipping can be a very lucrative pursuit. We are not talking about flapjacks here, but real estate," says Judon Fambrough, attorney with the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University.Flipping refers to the practice of finding a property that is for sale - usually priced below-market - and then selling it soon after it is bought for a quick profit.The most cost-effective way to flip property does not involve closing and taking possession of the property. Those who use flipping as a way to make money often assign or sell their sales contract to another party for cash or trade. An assignment is a transfer or grant of all the seller's rights, title and interest in property or in a contract.Fambrough provided this illustration: Jones is well-paid executive who owns a second home on a lake.... 03/29/2007

Have you ever had clients that are depending totally on you to pick their new home? Sometimes for whatever reason you may be put in the position of looking for a home for your clients because they need to buy before getting to your city. I am currently working with a client in that situation. But I want to write about one of my previous experiences. I had a client coming from South Africa that needed a home, a special home because his wife was wheelchair bound. So, not only did I need to find a home but one that had extra wide doors for the wheelchair. They also were very concerned about the schools and I had to make sure schools were okay too. I got lucky and found a beautiful one story home that was perfect. How do you successfully help out-of- town clients buy a home site unseen?  Ge... 03/21/2007
