Special Government Home Renovation Loan Program using Atascocita Texas FHA 203K Rehab Loans.Many people are not aware of a special government loan program that is part of the Federal Housing Administration or FHA(a department within HUD). A buyer or existing home owner can do meaningful amounts of remodeling or updates to their existing home without having a higher cost second lien thanks to this special FHA loan program.However, this loan program doesn't allow for "luxury items" in your home such as a swimming pool, hot tub, or other accessories. Although, you can repaint, replace flooring and appliances, add a room to an existing structure (which can add to value tremendously as you increase the square feet of your home) as well as remodel cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms.This loan...

I've seen the clever chart of Social Media Explained a few times, using doughnuts, chocolate, and even bodily functions (ew).  It usually makes me chuckle.  Then I think of it in my own real estate world terms.  Today I thought I'd share that with you.  What is your version of Social Media Explained?     I need to list a house.     I listed a house!   I'm at my listing putting the sign in the yard.    I've pinned it to My Listings Board!    Look at the video of my listing.     I'm very good at listing houses.    Let's all share & talk about my listing.

If you haven't already started a journey on Pinterest, you really need to take the time to check it out.  You can find recipes, funny sayings,  gadgets, crafts and so much more!  And everything comes with a picture.  It is enticing and entertaining.  And you have many ways to utilize this visual playground of information. The premise is easy.  You sign up, add a little information about yourself, then start creating your own personal "boards."  For example, let's say you create a board called Food.  (Because there is A LOT of food on Pinterest).  That is pretty general.  And you'll soon find that, as time goes on, you'll want to break Food into courses like breakfast, lunch or dinner, or maybe breads, desserts and appetizers.  It is like setting up a bulletin board with categories.  An...

The majority of my sellers start off by saying, "Tell me what I need to do to get my house ready to put on the market. I'll do whatever it takes to get it sold." In a perfect world, I'd tell them to start packing for their move now. Begin with the many knickknacks & family photos. Declutter. Simplify. I'd walk thru their home and point out what needed to be in those packing boxes. I'd tell them to look at their home with "buyers' eyes." We are not in that perfect world though. The photos & mementoes have sentimental value. The seller loves the way the home is decorated as well, so it comes across to them that I am attacking their decorating skills. And their "buyers' eyes" see the beauty of how their personal items add to the feeling of the home as a whole. The emotional attachment kick...

Everyone who plays golf has something to work on to improve their game.  Maybe it's their short game, chipping around the green can be a real challenge.  Maybe it's the approach shot, getting it to land just where they envision it.  Or maybe it's the drive.  A long, straight shot is certainly something to work for.  The best way to knock a few shots off your game is to practice.  Consistent playing helps everyone get better.  And what better way to hit those links more often than live in a golf course community - on the course itself!?  You can get your private golf cart ready in your garage the night before.  And then it is a quick drive to the clubhouse to begin your round.  Walden on Lake Houston offers golfers the opportunity to enjoy the game!  Here are two choices for homes in Wal...

These statistics are a reflection of what home sales have done in Walden on Lake Houston over the last three years.  Interestingly enough, there were more foreclosures in 2008 than 2010.  And although the sales price per sqaure foot has gone down, it is a small amount in comparison to housing in the rest of the country.   The good news is that houses are still sellling.  It may take longer but there are still buyers out there.  Relocation business has picked up recently.  That would be a great trend for 2011.    Susan Brown, Your Texas Connection sells real estate in Walden on Lake Houston, Eagle Springs, Summerwood, Atascocita, TX, Kingwood Greens, Royal Shores & Kingwood, TX - just to name a few!  Susan's the team leader for Your Texas Connection at Keller Williams Realty NE.  Visit t...
