We Went Under Contract Once, (when) Will It Happen Again?

Feb. 25. 2011

Recently I was excited to get the opportunity to list a great house on the East side of Austin, Tx (a very transitional, popular, fantastic location-especially for the price)! 1703 Holly Austin, Tx 78702. It is one of those houses that as an agent you almost dream of having the opportunity to sell (not to… Continue Reading

What’s that thing going up next to Mr. Natural on the East side??

Feb. 01. 2011

Recently, I have been trying to contact already local business owners to let them know of my listing on E. Cesar Chavez. The East side has become such a hot area over the past 6 or so years in Austin. As it continues to grow and become more eclectic, the houses along the street have… Continue Reading

Everyone’s a Critic!

Jan. 04. 2011

If there was one thing I remember from all my advertising classes it was: The best form of Advertising is word of mouth advertising. These days, with social media being as prevalent as it is, websites like Yelp!, City Search, and Angie’s List, help all of us rate a particular experience we had at a… Continue Reading

Texting Agents, Clients and for the 411

Nov. 05. 2010

Maybe it is the fact I am Generation Y (well, I would like to say I am on the cusp), because I have tendencies and a like minded work ethic of a person in Generation X (but I think kids these days are getting lazier, no one will know how to send a piece of… Continue Reading

What to Blog About, When you have Nothing to Blog About?

Jul. 25. 2010

I have heard many things about how blogging is good, and while we all have opinions about everything, I can find it difficult to find a topic to write about. An experienced Realtor in my office (not to mention, successful at blogging and the social media scene) told me, when it comes to blogging, "it’s… Continue Reading

Moving

Jun. 09. 2010

My Dad always told me growing up there were two things he hated more than anything in life: Moving and Painting. After my past move last week, I now realize why. Moving when I was in college wasn’t so bad, but maybe because I didn’t have a whole lot of (heavy or important) furniture. Plus… Continue Reading

My New Favorite Condo Project

May. 16. 2010

Can I just start by saying, there is no worse of a feeling, than when you just get through spending some time writing something on the computer, then your finger gently glides over the keypad, taking you to some other website, then you try to go back to what you are working on–and it has… Continue Reading

What North Austin Needs that South Austin Has…

Apr. 27. 2010

The other day I had the pleasure of having a few hours to kill on Saturday. And a beautiful sunny, yet not overbearingly hot it was. South Austin is known for it’s funk, originality and delicious hole in the walls. Several trailers reside here, with hopefully a few more business plans in the works. I… Continue Reading

Non-Traditional forms of Advertising to Help Market A Home

Mar. 18. 2010

A few years ago…yes a few, when I was in college I stood up with four students and professed to our client, Yahoo! that they needed to quit using traditional methods of advertising and start using more viral and videos to get the consumers they want (in this case it was Tweens and Teens to… Continue Reading

Home Sales Up From Last Year, Keeping Positive in 2010

Feb. 22. 2010

It has been a tough past few years for many people in this Nation. Job loss, increased foreclosures, bail-outs, stockmarkets at all time low and economic panic. I am fortunate to live in Texas, where I feel the news has been more in a positive, consistent tone. I get articles on the Austin and Texas… Continue Reading
