Feng Shui? What is it exactly and what should I look for?

May. 25. 2011

Recently I have had the pleasure of working with several different types of buyers. I suppose everyone is different, but this couple is great and once more I have learned a lot from them. They have a feng shui approach to things! While you may not believe in these types of things, it doesn’t mean… Continue Reading

My Awesome First Time Buyer

May. 16. 2011

I am almost ready to close a property with a friend/client/past co-worker of mine and she is a first time buyer. The thing about my buyer is that she isn’t really much like a first time home buyer at all. She knows her stuff! It is quite refreshing, but at the same time saddens me… Continue Reading

Awesome things to do in Austin, Tx

Apr. 08. 2011

As Spring approaches (well, practically summer at this point with these 93 degree days) I get more and more excited about all the things that become available. Austin is such an outdoorsy, active, live music watchin’, socially drinkin’, entrepreneur embracin’, always down for trying new stuff-type of city. The people that live here embrace all… Continue Reading

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
