My listing in Milwood will hit the rental market within the next few days.  Virtual tour is here.  Buy it NOW, before it leases!

My favorite evening is a walk to my local, BB Rover’s. They have excellent food, a spectacular beer menu, friendly waitresses (all of whom we know by name), and good service. They’re truly the US version of “the local.” Johanna has been going with us to BB’s for long enough to know JUST what she [...]

They’re not over yet, at least not here in Austin, where the next five days are forecast to be +100 degrees. We’re still hot! Timely to the weather, Realtor.com posted an entry of mine about how to find a home for you and your beloved Man’s Best Friend. Austin is, indeed, a dog-friendly city.  The [...]

Ahhhh, such a busy time this is for Realtors. School starts soon. We squeeze in several more weeks of helping people find their dream homes before things slow down for the Fall. So, busy as I am, in lieu of a proper post, here is a grainy video of my delightful child. More in a [...]

As we know it. Yes, I have returned!  What’s changed?  I have a Volvo S40 T5, to replace my totaled A3.  I have a few lingering aches and pains, but I am managing those, under the guidance of a great doctor. And I’m working on refilling my pipeline, after stepping back for many days to [...]

Oh gentle readers. The world can be a scary place. I had a BAD car wreck today. I was hit from behind by a car going VERY fast. My car is totaled. I spent the afternoon at the ER being poked and prodded. Everything checked out and I’m back home again. Jo was with me. [...]

Been having some pesky, persistent pain problems, but I’m still here. Tomorrow through Wednesday will bring you posts from the sunny island of Galveston! I’m looking forward to this vacation. We’re renting a historic home equidistant from The Strand and The Seawall. I grew up in Houston, and Galveston will always be near and dear [...]

I have one! And the story from today’s Life of Jules is so wonderful, I am posting it ~everywhere.~ This is one of those stories you tell when your kiddo is, like, 25. This evening, Johanna came running into the kitchen, wrapped up in the exciting process of showing Ellen’s friend Andi all of her [...]

As an unofficial Ask a Realtor response here on my blog, i’m covering a question from local Austin investor, My Uncle B. J :”It’s good to hear from you, Uncle B! What’s on your mind?” B: “Well, lately we’ve seen houses with ‘for sale’ signs but with ‘coming soon’ tacked on. What’s that all about?” Great [...]

Ahhh, Independence Day.  I took some time off to enjoy family, and to indulge in the age-old joy of shopping for furniture.  But I am back now, and better than ever.  Four days away from the blog refreshes a Realtor, don’t you think? Since my last update, I got tapped to contribute to Ask a Realtor on Realtor.com. [...]
