KeepMyTexasHome.org – A new resource for Texas Home Owners
Worried about losing your Texas home? Although Texas escaped the mass foreclosure problem that states like California, Florida, and Arizona were plagued by, we do have them and they are a fact of life. While no one wants to lose their home, owners are often scared, confused, and frustrated. As they get behind on their [...]
This should be an interesting week in real estate.
A whirlwind of activity. Well folks, this is it. The final week of the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit (unless you qualify as a service member of the military with “official extended duty”). We’ve been talking about it for what seems like forever, but the time has rushed by and now it’s here. The [...]

It’s Fiesta time! Well, the day has arrived. The last day of San Antonio’s city wide festival, Fiesta. As residents and tourists alike party through the final day, they will all be thinking forward to next year and the annual fun that is one of our city’s points of pride.

3.8% “Real Estate Sales Tax” thanks to Health Care Legislation?
A new tax on real estate? Recently, the emails have been flying, I’ve seen a few mention on places like Twitter and Facebook, and I’ve even heard a few Realtors® up in arms and misquoting the provisions for a 3.8% “real estate sales tax” in the Health Care Reform Bill. While real estate might seem [...]
Fiesta San Antonio – Saturday April 24, 2010 Events
It’s Fiesta time! The rain held off until pretty late last night, so that was good news to Fiesta. Once it arrived, the storms that passed through San Antonio were swift, strong, and wet. I heard some reports of hail in my area, although I saw none, but the rain itself was coming down so [...]
A day off…well sort of.
Happy Birthday! Today is my wife’s birthday, so I’m taking the day off. Well, sort of. Obviously, I’m here blogging, but don’t fret – she’s out hiking with a friend this morning. I have a few things to work on, but after that, I’m going to unplug and enjoy the day with her. She’s a [...]
Fiesta San Antonio – Friday April 23, 2010 Events
It’s Fiesta time! Friday night it always good for fun, but during Fiesta, Friday becomes one incredible party! The highly anticipated Battle of Flowers Parade practically shuts the city down.

Fiesta San Antonio – Thursday April 22, 2010 Events
It’s Fiesta time! As we approach the final weekend of Fiesta, my thoughts turn towards safety for San Antonio revelers. In April 2009, there were 239 alcohol related accidents and 422 DWI arrests and according to police, most of these occurred during the ten day celebration of Fiesta. Those are some huge numbers when you [...]
Using your photo across the internet: Gravatar.
