Working with a good real estate agent.

I’m not talking about me. I had this is my drafts folder and thought I had already posted it – oops. You’ll see why that’s an important fact in the next post. Recently I’ve been working on a transaction with some clients and the process has been a little rough at times. Unfortunately, we’ve been [...]

Hot summer months and your home for sale.

Is it hot in here? Showing some houses recently, my clients and I came across a few homes that they really liked, but there was one problem: we were dying from the heat inside the homes. As the temperatures climb, homes heat up fast and that hot, sticky, stuffy air can destroy your home’s potential. [...]

San Antonio Real Estate Enters Springtime

Housing Market in Bloom? After our short bout of wintery weather, I’m feeling rather eager to see the spring (and even more so the summer).

Discrimination and Fair Housing Laws

Typically, when you hear the words discrimination or fair housing laws it [...]

Your Listing Agent Sounds Desperate
