The benefits of new construction are undeniable.  ~ The first to live there; untouched by others. ~ New appliances and warranties. ~ Finishes and treatments you may have gotten to choose.  Buying new construction is ideal for many people and stopping in to visit a sales office can make the process seem like a breeze; but there are plenty of good reasons to make sure to bring your own Realtor ® with you on that visit. The Builder's Agent is who will greet you when you stop by a builder's sales office. When you purchase new construction you are purchasing from the builder and the builder will have an agent. When you purchase an existing construction you would want to have your own agent right? So why wouldn't you want to have your own agent when you purchase new construction? When you are purchasing new construction, the seller (in this case the builder) is still responsible for the commission for both agents so there is no additional responsibility for the buyer.

HOA or No? The Pros & Cons of having one We get this questions a lot when working with buyers. Some buyers have very strong opinions one way or another; HOAs will either be a requirement or a deal breaker. Other buyers don't really have a good idea of what an HOA really is or what they do.

Well, I am hoping to just educate so you will understand in order to make an educated decision when it comes time to decide if a property is right for you. First off... What is an HOA? A Homeowners Association or Property Owners Association is a legal entity that must be established. It works as a nonprofit that is set up like a business or corporation. The job of the HOA or POA is to manage and maintain the community or neighborhood. It is kind of like a mini government and if you live in the Bryan ~ College Station area most HOAs are heavily backed by the c...

Have you filled out your 2020 Census yet? If you haven't don't worry ~ there is still time! Why fill it out? ~ It's the law Completing the Census is in our Constitution! Article 1, Section 2 mandates that the country count it's population every 10 years. ~ It's funding Census results affect planning & funding for highways, first responders, health and education programs. Billions of dollars are distributed to states and communities based on the results of the Census! ~ It's your voice State Congressional Representative numbers are determined based on Census numbers. Can I still respond to the 2020 Census? ~ YES! Originally Census takers were going to go door-to-door through AUGUST 14th to try to ensure everyone would be counted. With the Coronavirus these plans may have to change but that means that everyone STILL HAS TIME to get their household Census completed for 2020! At the time of this blog, Texas i...

Moving during a Pandemic... Should you? Can you?  The fact is that even during this time of COVID-19 there will be times when people need housing. ~They may find themselves changing jobs and needing to move to another area. ~They may find themselves needing to move closer to family to help care for loved ones. ~They may find their family growing and needing a larger space. ~They may find that it is time to downsize and make use of their financial investment.
