Congratulations to my friends, Bruce and Karen for putting their faith in me once again in selling their home. They are moving out of Austin this time to be closer to family. I knew buyers would fall in love with this stunning, single story nestled on a quiet interior street, on a 1.04 acre lot, in prestigious Reagan's Overlook.    Buyers recognized this home to be truly a living masterpiece, harmonizing nature, comfort, and modern technology. Defined by high ceilings, columns, arches, wood flooring and banks of windows across the back; they appreciated the impeccable attention to detail.    Many loved the kitchen with the expanded center island opening to the family.   The icing on the cake was the rear porch with the floor to ceiling stone fireplace, overlooking the park-like backyard... 08/05/2022

Today was a good day to make a trip out to my client’s house that is under construction out in Liberty Hill, TX.        I sold their house in Canyon Creek and they are still waiting patiently for completion on their new single story. We went under contract a year and half ago and due to supply change issues, labor shortages etc. their house is still under construction. The estimated close date is the end of September but I have my doubts they will make it.There was one lone worker at 10 am working on the exterior....without crews showing up every day the prognosis doesn’t look good.I emailed the sales counselor and just heard back (same song):"We are waiting for the tape and float crew, I don’t have an ETA for them right now.

     So much has changed over the past decade. Home Tech is an important part of homes both new and old. This post is not a comprehensive look at tech in homes but a reminder that we live aware of tech in our homes and the homes we visit. By now most of us have seen countless numbers of videos from Ring doorbells and the likes. These modern tech door bells record and notify owners of the presence of visitors both welcome and unwelcome.      Some have taken the entry level tech further and applied it throughout their homes. This means the show at the door may continue as you walk through the home. Inside our homes we can now program our thermostats, ovens, washer and dryers to obey our commands from our phones. We can lock and unlock our homes from miles away all the while taking a peak ... 05/25/2022

My Geno and I have history with this wonderful family. When they first moved to Austin, relocating with IBM, Geno was their designated Realtor®. He sold them a home in Pflugerville and they loved working with him. They then moved to another part of Austin, as their family grew in Vista Oaks, and then again they moved to Twin Creeks. They called me when they needed to move to Melissa, TX to list their home, because Geno retired. When it was time to relocate back to Austin five years later they called me to help them purchase a home. I referred them to a great Realtor in Melissa to sell their home. Last year we started looking and their real desire was to have a newer home and preferably new construction. In the five years since they left Austin the market changed drastically and it was a... 03/20/2022
