Not all homes in Austin sell at original list price.  Looking for a deal?  These properties have dropped their price over 15% in the last 60 days.  Sometimes agent or sellers price their homes too high and have to drop their price to get inline with expectations.   A 15% price drop tell me that the seller was getting a little greedy.   Give us a call and...

This is Mt Shadows Cove, a 28 unit condo community located in southwest Austin, just 9 miles from downtown and 4 miles from the Hill Country Galleria.  Condos in this community were built between 2003 and 2004, and they were well built.  The individual units are duplex style with only one adjoining neighbor.  The low monthly HOA fee (currently around $40)...

Recently we were allowed to take the NRG DRONE out to COTA (Circuit of the Americas) to test some of it’s limits as well as get some cool footage.  We’re still new to flying it but the images we were able to capture were pretty awesome!  In the video you’ll see some of the other attractions out at COTA, including the Austin 360 Amphitheater,...

Last year I wrote a post about cameras realtors should check out if they wanted to do take their own real estate photos.  (See it here ) Turns out many of you check out that post, and we have actually heard back from several people about the camera they purchased.  Purchasing a nice camera is just part of the story.  You also have to know how to pick your...

Just the other day while I was sitting in church I was overcome with this feeling that I was not doing enough to create lasting memories of my life.  I don’t really know why I started thinking about that, it was not the topic of the sermon, it just came over me.  I could not get it out of my head for the whole service.  I finally had to take out my...

If you have been reading my updates or following me on Facebook you know by now that I am learning to fly.  It is a lot of fun, but it is taking way longer than it should.  Silly things like work or the weather keep getting in the way.  I expected those to slow things down, but what I did not expect was having to change flight instructors. As I have found...

The time has come for you to purchase a home and maybe you’ve heard from friends or family about how many multiple offers and bidding wars there are on houses.  You may have also heard the saying, “Cash is King,” before.  So, as a buyer who is getting a mortgage, how can you compete against a cash buyer? According to Realtor Magazine and...

It’s official, we have expanded our reach to the forth city in Texas.  Houston, Austin, and Dallas are just not the same without San Antonio.  San Antonio has just become the newest place we sell homes.  That’s right, we just can’t stay in one place.  It must be at ADHD the doctors told me I had growing up.  Anyway, sorry for the delay in...

It is amazing in todays world how easily Realtors get misguided or choose to believe the wrong thing just because of a good sales pitch or because someone they “knew” did it once.  I tried to put together a few of these Real Estate Myths that we find most realtors still believe.  These vary from city to city, so I tried to narrow down the list to...

As many of you know, the last year has not been the easiest for our family. Today (8/21/2013) is Greyson’s first birthday.  A first birthday is always a celebration but for me, Greyson’s is something that I really did not expect to be able to celebrate.  What started off as the hardest 107 days of my life (and certainly Greyson’s) has turned...
