Don't buy that house!
Some clients of ours recently commented on how honest Danny and I were with them about the drawbacks of many of the houses we looked at, and explained that an agent in another city had tried to push them into houses they didn't consider good purchases.
Such statements are flattering, but in Texas, it's actually our ethical and legal responsiblity to watch out for our clients fiduciary (financial) best interests. This is easy enough on the buy front. We watch out for things that reduce value, like backing or fronting to major thoroughfares, bad foundations, adjacent "green space" that is slotted for commercial development, and so on down the line. Conversely, we look for things that make a house a great value and good for resale: a…

Its hard for us to list this house..we'd buy it ourselves if we were in the position. Its amazing! One of a kind custom home cut into the hillside of Bell Mountain. Four bedrooms, three baths, almost 2 acres on the Balcones Canyonland preserve. Gorgeous details including exposed butresses, beamwork, and a truly unique layoout. Gorgeous guest house above the garage, separate from the main house. Private trails in the neighborhood and on the property itself. Amazing and impressive, yet understated.

Austin's real estate market sucks
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010 at 10:54am. 97 Views, 0 Comments.
We spend every day inundating you with dry statistics about the neighborhood. So, today, we'd like to take a moment to tell you something you might already know: the real estate market in Austin has slowed rather dramatically. Our inspector, who sees the entire market, says Austin is slower than it has been in his 18 years in business.Yikes.
For us as agents, this is not good news. Lately, I spend my days writing real estate articles for a "content farm". No, I'm not trapped in a tiny wire cage but....let's just say I'd much rather be out selling real estate. What gives? Well, we think many factors are at play: a sluggish economy, the fact that many sales this year got "front-loaded" for the tax credit, also, we think the slowing national economy…

Lovely Rosedale house for sale!

Super-cute Rosedale house!
We won't lie: Rosedale houses are some of our favorite real estate in Austin. From the grid-form
ed, tree-lined streets to the fantastic retail at 45th and Burnet, to the legendary Draught House (not the movie place), its a hard neighborhood to beat. That's why we're always terribly jealous of the experienced Jimmy Gilmore who seems to have the corner on the Rosedale market. Right now he's got more than a couple great houses in this area, but we wanted to feature our personal favorite. This ultra-cute house on Bellvue sports hardwoods throughouts, a studio in the garage, and plus, its a short walk to Central Market. Its a good price point too- you couldn't find a house like this in Rosedale two years ago at this price. See…
