Yesterday I held a lovely Open House at my Royal Lakes listing in Richmond, TX.  There were some wonderful people who came through to "take the tour".  Many of them were just out driving and saw the signs and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to walk the inside of a 7,600 SF home.  I don't mind at all.  It's good company and you never know who may have a friend who might be looking for something like this.  I had a couple stop in once and tell me that they were just looking for decorating ideas for the new home they were building.  Not your perfect open house visitor in terms of selling the home - but on the upside, when I asked who was listing that home, they didn't have anyone and I'm supposed to get the house on the market for them in the upcoming weeks.  On the other han... 03/15/2008

It all started innocently enough..........Last week, at a local organization luncheon, I was happy to hear that there is a group of civic minded persons working to inform and promote improving our schools and encouraging us to vote YES for the Fort Bend Bond Election on Nov. 6th. The group called "Excellence in Education"  had a spokesman address the group, ask for voter support and offered signs to put in your yard to help promote the vote.  I grabbed 3 signs and ran home to stick them in my yard.  I wanted to promote the Bond, too. But, early this morning, I was greeted at the door by our Pecan Grove POA President, Jim Ashmore.  He was there to inform me that I was a SIGN BANDIT!  I was in violation of our community deed restrictions allowing one sign per cause or candidate!  Ooops!  ... 10/15/2007

Thank you for your comments and interest in the Fix and Flip project that I recently wrote about.I will be very honest about the fact that this was my first professional project.  It came to me as a result of helping a client/friend find a fabulous patio home to scale down to.  Timing and circumstances beyond her control left her in a position of needing to sell fast.  Knowing the market as I believed I did, I crunched the easy numbers up front for the paint, carpet, tile, granite and fixtures.  It looked like the possibility of a very nice return on investment if we could get it back on the market quickly.  Holding costs in the summer with that pool and huge yard and massive A/C bills was a bit scary.Did I have a formula?  Not exactly.....having been interested in flipping for years, a... 09/27/2007

Why in the world would we want to vote to raise our taxes??????If for no other reason, think of the value of your home in comparison.  I know, you love Pecan Grove, you are never going to move, you like low taxes. ...But, you'll have better looking homes and more owner occupied homes as neighbors which tends to make your home a nicer place to live.I'm no economist, but as a Realtor, it is clear to me that neighborhoods with highly sought after schools attract neighbors of quality and more of them.  Supply and Demand gives you more buyers seeking the same properties, boosting the home values.  As this lovely neighborhood ages, the homes need to focus more attention and money to fight aging and deterioration.  Homeowners fear spending upkeep money unless they feel fairly certain that they... 09/26/2007

Pecan Grove, My little corner of the world, My Village.....continuing the reminiscing......So, I had the 5 days to find a house, I worked 8 hours a day with my realtor, narrowed the acceptables down to 1 in Cinco Ranch, new, near the "Oh, it'll never be busy" Hwy 99; 1 somewhere in First Colony, needed a LOT of work; and 3 in Pecan Grove.  I artfully stacked the tour for my husband to make sure that my favorite was last and looke awesome compared to the totally trashed house I showed him just before it.  I think we paid $10,000 more for the house with trees, but it WAS 98 degrees in July after all and we were moving to the armpit of Texas, so I deserved it, right?We immediately started school, loved the volunteer opportunities, so got involved with the PTA  We found the grocery store op... 09/26/2007

I LOVE Pecan Grove.....I have lived here for 13 years, and now , I WORK here.  Doesn't get much better than that!Pecan Grove is a great example of Americana.  Small, Close-Knit, Family-Oriented, Quiet, Secluded and yet Convenient, Patriotic, Reverent, Casual, Friendly......are words that come to mind when I try to describe what this wonderful little Corner of the World is like. It's quite ironic that I'm writing this today, because 13 years ago, I was mourning the fact that I was leaving my beloved Dallas behind.......I considered moving to Houston, a "tragedy".  I was moving to what many considered the "Armpit of Texas". ( Many of you native Houstonians know of the love/hate relationship between Dallas and Houston )  My late husband coaxed me down here, dangling the proverbial carrot o... 09/18/2007

Recently I inspected a home that was built in 1973 in Fort Bend County. A beautiful home but a lot of neglect and some disrepair. Apparently the original homeowners lived there and after their death, it was placed for sale and a couple who is now getting a divorce. They had lived in the home for about 2 years, maybe three. But the people who baught the land and house did not take good care of the property and finally decided to sell. I noted that a few things had been severly neglected as I was driving up to the home. First was the overgrown trees on three sides of the house. Trees that extend over a homes roof can also exend under a foundation. The most likely scenerio is that the canopy above fairly well dictatesthe size and extensions of the root system. My recommendation was to pull... 06/21/2007
