  Its that time of year again - Time to set the clocks forward!   On March 14, 2010, at 2:00 a.m. - you set the clocks ahead one hour. (Spring forward).  Every Spring we move our clocks one hour ahead and "lose" an hour during the night and each Fall we move our clocks back one hour and "gain" an extra hour. But Daylight Saving Time wasn't just created to confuse our schedules. The phrase "Spring forward, Fall back" helps people remember how Daylight Saving Time affects their clocks. At 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March, we set our clocks forward one hour ahead of Standard Time ("Spring forward"). We "Fall back" at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November by setting our clock back one hour and thus returning to Standard Time. Although we will "lose" an hour this Sunday, we will have m...

  Its a GREAT Time to Buy a House in Pearland TX!    "If you've been holding off on a real estate purchase, glimmers of a turnaround in the housing market may have you wondering if it's finally time to make your move." says Beth Baverman from Money Magazine in a March 2, 2010 article. "While home prices remain low, they're no longer free-falling in most markets. Mortgages are historically cheap. And the sweet tax credit that was offered to new buyers last year has been extended to April 30 and expanded to include current homeowners too." We have all heard about this tax credit for the past year. Current homeowners who sign a contract to buy a home on or before April 30 get a dollar-for-dollar reduction on their taxes of 10% of the purchase price of the home, up to a maximum of $6,500 (f...

    Wow! Last night, RE/MAX One held their annual awards night at Las Rosas in Pearland. I was so honored to receive the 2009 RE/MAX One Top Producer Award, an award I strive toward every year.  I also received the RE/MAX International Hall of Fame Award and another award from RE/MAX International for 100% Club. What an amazing night! I would like to take the time to say a special "thank you" to all my clients, family and friends.  I am humbled by these awards but I am more humbled by your continued support. Without your it or your business, confidence and referrals, I would not be a success. Thank you again!

  Pearland Great news for those considering entering into the Pearland housing market!  On February 19, 2010, Forbes Magazine announced that Houston is one of best places in the nation to buy real estate because of its stable industries.  Francesca Levy writes that Houston's energy sector has "kept jobs flowing into Texas oil town Houston."  Furthermore, Levy notes that the good job market in Houston means that the housing outlook will stay strong.  "Houston home prices are expected to rise 1.2% by next year; it's one of only four of the markets we ranked where prices won't continue to slide, according to Moody's Economy.com." So what does this mean for the Pearland housing market?  Essentially, it means that, like most of the suburban areas of Houston, will continue to flourish. In the...
