As promised in my earlier blog, here is the link to the article Jennifer Dawson with the Houston Business Journal wrote about the man I met that was purchasing the home in Kingwood at the Harris County Trustee sale on February 3, 2009. To quote Mr. Boyd "It was a nerve wracking experience."  It all worked out very well for him however.  It was a pleasure to have met Mr. Boyd and have the chance to visit with Jennifer. Mr. Boyd, it was a pleasure to have met you!  Jennifer, thanks for the great article! 02/05/2009

Doug Dawson, a wealth management adviser with the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, provided an inspirational message for the Keller Williams Realty NE awards ceremony this morning at Raffa's.  His message of inspiration focused on perception and perseverance.  He stated that Doug Dawson's perception on life is that the glass is always "5/8ths full".  In an economic environment, based mostly I believe on fear and unknowns, it is refreshing to know that even in the face of adversity we need to keep doing what needs to be done to get the job done because "in all things God works for the good".  Roman's 5:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." This verse does not say some things, but it states "i... 01/26/2009

I hope all is well and that you have had a great start for your 2009.  I typically send my e-news letter out at the beginning of each month, but I thought I would send it early as a reminder of some important information and point out some things going in the market.  First, if you purchased a home last year, make sure you complete the paperwork necessary to claim your homestead exemption.  You can find more information about the homestead exemption at http://www.hcad.org  Secondly, interest rates are low right now which opens up a couple of opportunities.  The first opportunity of low interest rates is to refinance.  If you need some recommendations for lenders I work with on a consistent basis, contact me at 281-812-8229.  Secondly, if you have the itch to move or invest, you can take... 01/14/2009
