The sunny, mild weather with a few rainstorms mixed in bring hordes of wood-devouring termites out into the open to swarm – mate – and, eventually, inhabit your home.  Pest control industry estimates indicate that the damage termites cause now tops $5 billion each year - and homeowner's insurance doesn’t usually cover these claims. From now through May, termites will be at their worst as termite swarm season descends on the United States. Recognizing termites is tricky, since they are often d...

Texoma Homes for sale: As we  begin the process of getting your property ready to place on the market one of the steps is to understand what a title policy is and how it can affect the transaction of selling your property. A potential buyer will be looking at several aspects of your property as they begin the step to make an offer. It will make it much easier on the transaction process if we can know ahead of time if you may have title issues that can be resolved before we can an offer. You may say as a seller what is a title policy and why do I need to give one when I received one when I purchased the property??? Is that not the same thing and why do I need to spend the money on this item. The title policy is a negotiable item but in most cases it is paid by the seller. This is what Pe...

Spring is in the Air in Texoma ..... Now is the time to get your property on the market and get the Great Curb Appeal started.     Flowers for instant curb appeal The experts all agree that curb appeal is one of the most important aspects to consider when selling your home.When selling, it's the appearance from the street that will very often determine whether potential buyers come in to see the inside, or never get out of their cars.   Flowers are one of the easiest and least expensive ways to make the front of your house look inviting and instantly increase the curb appeal of your home.  Without any real landscaping at all, flowers can transform a rather drab and dreary looking front yard into one that looks colorful and lush.  Especially during spring and summer, you should take adv...
