Huntsville TX Homes -- Elkins Lake Homes -- Visiting Clients on a Sunday afternoon

Huntsville TX Homes -- Elkins Lake Homes -- Visiting Clients…..
It was a beautiful day in Elkins Lake. I grabbed our Maltese and did "drive by visits" on a few of my clients that closed on their houses recently. One client was sitting out on the steps in front of his new house talking with a neighbor. His wife was walking in the neighborhood with the neighbor’s wife.
Another client who just moved in last week was out in the driveway cutting some wood for a honey-do project.
Another of my clients, a doctor who has recently relocated to Huntsville, wasn't home, but when I knocked and slipped a small gift in the door, what did I see??? She has COMPLETELY renovated everything. Holy cow, it was beautiful! This is the before--Stay tuned for the "After"
After all the looking, contracts, inspections, closings, etc. it is so gratifying to see the final results- happy new homeowners moving on with their lives in their new homes. I love being a REALTOR and selling homes in Elkins Lake.

MegaCamp, Family Reunion, the BOLD Training Program, created and developed by KW Phenom Dianna Kokoszka --just a smattering of what is available to you as an agent with KW.

Huntsville TX Homes : What a Great Day!
Tue. June 22, 2010 at 04:56 AM
What a Great Day it has been!
The first day of summer and it was hot, hot, hot. Wow, it has been SO busy. Don't get me wrong, I am NOT complaining. I have been working, working, working. No, I don't have a VA (virtual assistant), and yes, I probably should have one, but I LOVE this business, and I love knowing the status os everything that is going on.
I also love my garden. you know, if you had asked me even 5 years ago if I saw myself writing and talking about my garden so much, I would have thought you were crazy. I really love my garden. It brings me joy. We had 2 cucumbers and a yellow squash and 5 peppers ready to pick this evening. And, the first grapes I've ever grown peeking their little heads out. That is a good day.
Enjoy your summer. Enjoy every day of your life. Enjoy the crunch of a cucumber, the fragrance of jasmine and basil, the beauty of a rose, the delight of a blueberry bush (even if...

I Will Never Forget You--My Broker, My Mentor, My Friend

I Will Never Forget You--My Broker, My Mentor, My Friend
Well, it has been kind of a rough week. Monday morning came the e-mail. How could this happen? Finally, I had found my mentor, someone I could communicate with easily, someone who "got me," someone with whom I could speak absolutely freely.
How could this happen? His wife Virginia had waited for him her whole life. He was her first husband just 6 years ago. How could this happen? His dream, "Texas Home Group" was rapidly growing and he was doing it right with training, support, gorgeous facilities. He was on target at just over 300 agents to reach his goal he and Virginia had set for 2013.
How could this happen? My husband and I had dinner plans with them next week. How Could This Happen? He made me laugh, kicked my butt when necessary, and was there for me when I didn't even know how much I needed it.
He was there to get me back on track. ...

Huntsville TX Real Estate: What is the difference between a Realtor and a Real Estate Agent?
Thu. April 15, 2010 at 08:52 PM
What is the difference between a Realtor and a Real Estate Agent? Hmmm...glad you asked.
Let's start with what Realtors and Real Estate Agents have in common. Both are licensed to sell Real Estate. What is the difference.
This is HUGE:
Realtors are bound by a code of ethics, whereas Real Estate Agents are not. Why is this important to the consumer? You can find out all the details by reading the code of ethics available at www.Realtor.org , but here's the gist: Realtors are held accountable by the NAR-National Association of Realtors Code of Ethics. The National Association of Realtors came into existence for the purpose of protecting the consumer. This organization brought accountability to the "wild, wild west" of real estate transactions that was the climate prior to 1908 and the establishment of the Code of Ethics in 1913.
In any Real Estate transaction, building a relationship with a professional you trust is key. The title of Realtor...

I love Real Estate.......Duh?!
Tue. April 13, 2010 at 11:50 PM
I still can't get enough of it. Real Estate...That is. So intriguing, so very cool. Helping people find the right home and helping others to sell to be able to move on to the next chapter in their lives is so rewarding. I cannot imagine a more consistently rewarding career. This is not to say that I don't miss my goobers (my former students----voice and choir) terribly, because I do. They are amazing young people (getting less young every day like the rest of us) and will always have a deeply rooted place in my heart.
Real Estate is a new adventure every day, a new scene, a fresh outlook. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I get to see 1st time homebuyers smile when they realize they get to "set up house" and make a home, I get to help folks to downsize when the kids are gone and it's just the two of them again...and so much more! I have the privilege of helping and being involved with people's lives in a positive...

Baseball Season is finally here....hip, hip hooray!
Tue. April 13, 2010 at 11:25 PM
I love Baseball Season and everyhting it means....Springtime, flowers, green grass, sunshine glinting on the water and foliage. Ahhhh....Springtime, and baseball. I am a Texas Rangers Fan. Growing up I was a Phillies fan and hopelessly in love with shortstop Larry Bowa. Not, it's the Rangers. Michael Young, Josh Hamilton, and now Vlad Guerrero. Yep..Vlad..."If you can't beat 'em, sign 'em!"
Vlad was an out 'n out "Ranger Killer." He has the Ranger Stadium all time best batting average. He was a great "get." Baseball is so much fun (well, relaxing) to watch. It's not jam packed action--the game goes at a pace that actually helps you to slow down and "chill." And the Texas Rangers have the absolute BEST announcers. They are so easy to listen to and interesting. Very easy going and very real people, not a phony bone in either Josh or Tag. (Josh Lewin and Tom Grieve "Tag")
You know, we put in some...

Happy Clients make me--well, happy !
Wed. March 24, 2010 at 11:30 PM
Happy Clients--That's what it's all about. No kidding. I have finally found a way to make people happy by providing a service to people that I try to make special (I have been a singer and performer for years--it's in my DNA -- I am a people pleaser), and make a good living so that I afford to do it.
Everything starts and ends with Happy Clients. It truly is "All About You!
This is a snapshot of March so far, with more to come. I am so happy for these new homeowners! Read their comments at www.ETPropertySearch.com under "The Buzz"
In a recent blog, I featured Gabe and Tina. Well, the Pending has turned to SOLD! and we have some happy new homeowners--first time homeowners to be exact. (Tina was tutoring for TAKS--teachers out there-you know what we're talking about)
Well, and let me tell you about the Kellys. They are the sweetest people ever. I just talked with them this afternoon and they are almost all...
