For Sale By Owner - Why Use a Realtor Anyway
by: Gerald Meyer
For Sale By Owner is just as it sounds, a homeowner trying to sell their home without the assistance of a REALTOR.
Can you do this, sure!
Do they actually get their house sold, sure!
Is it typical?
No.
About 80% of FSBO?s end up listing their homes with a Professional REALTOR anyway.
Here?s why:
1. I do not have the time to make appointments during the day or during normal business hours.
2. How do I know if these potential buyers can qualify for my home?
3. I am not aware of the legal documentation that should accompany a contract.
4. How do you pick a Title Company, and who is suppose to pay their fees?
5. What if the Buyer backs out of the contract?
6. Can I sell my home for market price without using a REALTOR?
7. What coverage do I have if the Buyer sues me a year after closing?
8. Is it worth having a home inspection before putting the house on the market?
9. Who does the home warranty really protect?
10. Will I really be saving the real estate commission if I try to sell myself?
These are some of the many questions that homeowners have to ask themselves before embarking on this endeavor without a professional.
What some homeowners don?t realize is that most REALTORS do care.
This is our livelihood.
We want to sell your home for the highest possible price; our commission is based on sales price.
So when we say the house is overpriced, it is!
Our goal is to have a smooth transaction, and you be happy with the outcome so the next time to have to buy or sell, you think of us.
Still, anyone can put a sign in the yard and try to sell their home, and some may actually get it sold in a reasonable amount of time.
But as with any profession, if you decide to take on the role yourself, you are opening yourself up to potential risks.
Licensed REALTORS are just as such, a licensed professional who is capable of guiding you thru the process and assessing the transaction with the least amount of risk possible.
We help get your home sold in the least amount of time, for the highest possible price.
We ensure that the buyers are qualified to purchase the home and walk you thru the closing process step by step.
Some FSBO?s think that since they have sold houses before in other states, that it will be a walk in the park anywhere.
Not so.
For example, Texas is one of the most demanding states when it comes to selling real estate.
We as agents are required by law to have all of our ducks in a row before even placing the house on the market.
Here?s a few things we?re required to do:
1. Checking the mortgage balance to see if it the seller is even in a position to sell at the current market
2. Verifying ownership
3. Does the property have clear Title
4. It this a saleable property, what work needs to be completed prior to listing
5. What is the current market price to allow a quick sale
In closing, just know that there is a REALTOR out there for each situation.
From leases to commercial property, we are licensed to assist with all your real estate needs.

Spring Flower Gardening
Spring Flower Gardening
by: Linda Jenkinson
Spring is the time when nature and your garden awakes and comes alive after the long winter. That first spring flower or that first green leave is the sign that winter in coming to an end and that a new growing season has arrived.
Spring and Flower gardening is almost synonymous. Spring is the time to interplant perennials, shrubs, roses and plant or transplant your annuals.
It?s time to shape up your soil, loosen the mulch around your plants and prune your early blooming shrubs. Rake and remove leaves and debris from your garden. Without a good planting medium your flower garden will never be at its best.
Perennials will save you a lot of work in your flower garden. So keep perennials high on your list. These hardworking beauties eliminate yearly replanting and will still give you that spring and summer color that you are longing for. It?s best to choose varieties that don?t need a lot...

The Venus Flower Basket - Symbol of Love
The Venus Flower Basket - Symbol of Love
by: John Edwards
One of the most beautiful of all the creatures that live in the oceans is the rare and very seldom seen Venus flower basket. It only grows on the ocean floor at depths of three thousand to five thousand feet, in the warm tropical waters of the South Pacific, mostly around the Philippines and Japan.
This creature is actually a sponge; however it does not look anything like the sponges you use for cleaning in your home. It is extremely beautiful, intricate, and dainty. When full grown the Venus flower basket is tube shaped and about twelve inches long, usually with some slight curvature.
It looks like it is made up of an intricate fine lace expertly spun in glass fibers no thicker than human hair. It is woven in the form of a hollow tube shaped like a rams horn. The smaller, tapered end is anchored to the ocean floor by a multitude of fine glass-like fibers. The larger end has a...

How to Pick Perfect Birthday Flowers for Women
by: Natalie Aranda
Flowers have long been considered one of the best birthday gifts for women and rightfully so. Flowers are beautiful, graceful and simply make the recipient feel very special. However, the woman you are buying flowers for may impact the type of flowers you buy. If you are interested in buying flowers for a daughter or a mom, then affectionate and cheerful flowers are more appropriate. Examples of flowers that should be given to a daughter or a mother include wild flowers, tulips, Gerber daisies, birth month flowers, or any flower that is a woman?s particular favorite. Roses are always a popular choice, however for a mom or daughter pink, yellow, orange, or white are more appropriate. Every woman loves roses, and the alternate colors brighten up the rose as well as show love in a non-romantic way. As such, red roses should be reserved only for romantic relationships.
The best birthday...

Horse Jewelry: Bold and Free
by: Sam Serio
A popular motif in jewelry, even among city dwellers, is horses. Horse jewelry is enigmatic and evokes a sense of strength as well as of mystery. Now one would have to ask: why horses? Why care about an animal rarely seen in the city anyway?
Horses symbolize freedom, and pride in freedom. Wild horses come with the connotation of spiritual and emotional independence. Have you ever seen or read "The Horse Whisperer"...
