Veteran Land Board Certification

In my pursuit to serve our Veterans and their family, I attended and completed the Veterans Land Board training today. In addition to the VA, the Veterans Land Board assist our Veterans in obtaining land and homes. With all the available options to help our military achieve the American dream of owning a home, I hope they are using the resources. VLB even assist in remolding loans for our Veterans.

I look forward to helping our Military achieve their dreams of owning their own home or land here in Texas.

Safety tips for your car and home

Hello All,

Last week I attended the Concern Citizens of East Montgomery County meeting and learned several things about car and home security. We all know we should lock our car doors and set the alarm but several people don't when they are at home. Unless your car is in the garage and the door is down then lock your doors for 2 reasons: it will most likely deter a person from trying to steel anything from your car and a security measure to make sure that no one is in your car with out you knowing.

Another key security measure is to lock all your doors and windows in your house (even when you are there). This again prevents unwanted visitors. However, the one door I don't lock (until now) is my garage door from my garage to my house. My garage door is down and I figure that prevents anyone from entering my home but this is not true. It took a person less than 6 seconds to open the garage door and with very little noise. Imagine if you are asleep and they opened your garage door they could come right in if you didn't lock the door from the garage to the house. So I make sure now ALL doors, including the garage to the house is locked when I am at home.

The person giving the talk also discussed layers of security. An alarm system that is turned on, motion detector lights outside the house, cameras, and even dogs are all layers of security. The more layers then most burglars become uninterested in your house. Notify the Sherriff and Constable offices when you are planning to go on vacation for an extra set of eyes on your house.

Keep these safety tips in mind going forward and be safe out there!

Contact me today and let's start looking for your next home with these safety features in mind at 713-489-0507.

Have a great day!

East Montgomery County Information- April 2017

I'm excited about several of the events happening in Montgomery County Texas. I went to the Loop sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and learned about the incredible development of the Generation Park and Valley Ranch. Generation Park is on Belt Way 8, close to Lake Houston and Summer Wood subdivision.

Valley Ranch is on 99 and 69 and going to become a destination development. There will be more entertainment establishments through 2017. The next phases will include a Medical district and Corporate park that will include a Green space for our new walking and biking trails. I'm looking forward to the future developments.

April is bring several new opportunities for me to attend and be part of my community. Tonight, April 3rd, is the Concern Citizen meeting. I will not be able to attend the Hobby Lobby ribbon cutting but I will make it to the Kroger ribbon cutting and Chamber of Commerce Luncheon this Wednesday. This week raps up with the Grand Prix races.

Later in the month, I am trying to attend the Observer Lunch and meet and greet Breakfast at the Medical center. For more information go to the Greater East Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce.

So contact me today and let me take the headache out of selling your property at 713-489-0507.

Why hiring a Real Estate Agent is better than doing it yourself (FSBO)

Hello all,

I love Do It Yourself projects. I enjoy learning and trying new things BUT selling your own home, without a professional, is not the time to experiment and see if you can do it. This is probably your biggest investment and you don't need to risk it not selling or getting less money than you deserve. Here are some of my thoughts on why you should choose me as your Real Estate Agent and get your house sold:

1. Real Estate Agents have a variety of resources available to them that the average consumer does not have access too. Selling your property is not just about getting it on MLS. There is much more that goes into getting the property SOLD (and this is what you want, right?) MLS is a big step in the process but you want to promote it with the help of others. As one example of the resources available is most agents belong to a firm that has lots of agents, we use them to help us promote our properties.

2. You have to have a Marketing Plan for your property. Did you think just putting it out there and people are going to come? No, this is not going to happen for most houses. You need to have a plan and a GREAT Real Estate Agent, like myself, has a plan that they can explain to you and tell you that we will use some of our own money to get your property sold. I'm sure you are saying "WHAT?" Yes, a good agent has your best interest at heart. It is our time and experience that you are asking for us to help you get the best price that you can for your property.

3. As a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) you need to know about the laws and regulations that go into selling property. Are you aware of all the paperwork? What is legally required? What is something that is highly recommended? What are all the steps? How do you get past the hurdles? How many other people need to be involved in the transaction? Yes, there are a lot of other people that have to be involved to sell your home.

4. The statics show that having a Real Estate Agent the home owner nets more money than without one. For most properties they are sold faster and for a higher price. I believe this is due to the numerous resources available to a Real Estate Agent, the good agents have a plan on how to sell your house and we are responsible for taking care of the red tape. There is also a psychology of the individual that is involved in buying a property.

So contact me today and let me take the headache out of selling your property at 713-489-0507.

Have a great day!

Together we will find the right house and in the right area. That is what a Realtor brings to the table to help you. Our knowledge of the market and being able to match that to your needs.

Why select a Real Estate Agent that has a MRP certification over one that does not?

The Military Relocation Professional, MRP, certification from the National Association of Realtors means that you have completed training to understand the needs of our military; both active and veterans. Although most Real Estate Agents can provide services to this honored group of individuals, only a select few have taken the time to learn about the demands.

I understand the needs of our military families and hope that I can provide the excellent customer service that each one deserves. I understand that the spouse may not be able to be present for the showings and the communication may need to be over email or the phone to meet the deadline. I also am learning more about what benefits our offered to our military families with relocation fees or loans.

A Real Estate agent that has taken the time to obtain the MRP shows that they care about the families of the military and want to serve them.

It will be an honor to help those that served our country sell or find their next home.
