Round Rock, Texas is growing and breathing with excitement. New businesses are flocking to the area and established companies are enjoying the benefits of local flavor branded by new life. One of the things going on here, is that the highly anticipated restaurant, the In and Out burger finally opened. I don't know anyone that has made it there or eaten there yet (we are only on day 2) but I heard the line was off the charts.  I think I will let the newness wear off and stick with the fabulous locally owned Red Wagon, who has the best hamburgers I have ever eaten.    In addition to the new burger joint, downtown Round Rock will be celebrating the 12 Days of Main Street. It started on Monday  with Christmas carols at centennial plaza and will end with the movie "The Polar Express" at Pret...

Please take a moment to celebrate my greatness....I thank you.    Wow! 600000 points and 1391 blog posts...92 with this post. Feels like just yesteryear when I joined AR at the encouragement of my Broker Jason Crouch. Made some great friends here and learned a great deal from each of the members over the years. 169000 comment points... that is a lot of blogs read as well.  My hope is that at least a few of these posts have encouraged, informed or just made you laugh. Wishing all my friends in the Rain a wonderful day and a blessed year!         For those reading this who have no idea what I am talking about with respect to 600000 points on Active Rain but are interested in finding a home to buy or lease or even looking to sell your existing home...I would love to help you.

    What if I were to tell you there was a master planned community wonderfully located in the heart of "new" Round Rock Texas that features 12 top builders, an 18 hole golf course, hike and bike trails throughout entire community, catch and release ponds, two community pools, work out center, four major play ground areas and a Top elementary school.  But wait...there is more. This lovely community located in one of the fastest growing cities in Texas, is strategically located in so many ways. First Shopping: 1. Round Rock Premium Outlets home to 125 top stores: Nike, Kenneth Cole, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Coach, Polo Ralph Lauren, Sun Glass Hut and so, so much more. Best of all Teravista has it's own private back door entrance to the mall. No need to even stop at a red light. 2. IK...

Have you ever wanted to learn to play the guitar? I started playing guitar at the age of 16. It has been a wonderful lifelong enjoyment. Top of my list of self therapy. Whenever I am feeling down, happy or anyway at all, the guitar is not far away and the sounds of simple chords have a great effect on not only me but whoever is in the room.  If you want to learn to play the guitar the GRACE PLACE offers FREE guitar lessons every Tuesday night at 7pm. Brian Piland is the resident expert. If you don't have a guitar come anyway and Brian will get you a loaner. He has also been known to help students get FREE guitars. Many of his former students and vendors who work with him love to help new students learn and enjoy the guitar. For more information check into his website at Grace Guitar Le...

    DELL IS A ROUND ROCK TEXAS BASED COMPANY.  According to the Austin Business journal The pundits have had more than a day to poke at Dell Inc.’s new product line, and here’s what they're saying. TechCrunch writer Chris Velazco wasn’t wowed by the new laptops or “the silly Android tablets,” but he said the company's first pint-sized Windows 8 tablet wowed him even though it lacked style. He posted a video with his review. This is Dell's first venture into tablets. Looks like they have something to work with and the price point looks really great.

      DID YOU KNOW? 22 percent of all the starting quarterbacks in the NFL played their highschool football in Texas.   Last night a great game in the Austin area betwen the Stony Point Tigers and the McNeil Mavericks. The tigers never led in the game until the final 33 seconds of the game. QB Berrera hit a Tiger receiver for a 40 yard TD to take the lead 34 to 30 over the Mavs. The Tiger defense did the rest and shut down the Mavs.

      PRICE: Not just the price of the home but what it will cost you over a lifetime: interest, maintenance, improvements, replacement.    QUALITY: This is more than condition it has to do with the builder, the materials used, the appliance brands from HVAC to dishwasher, roofing materials, electrical, exterior walls, plumbing. You can tell when a builder cut corners.    LOCATION: Often once a community is identified the buyer will lose site of this important consideration. Location within the selected community should be a HIGH priority: cul-de-sac, view lot, close to amentias, not connected on all sides to neighbors, space between homes, who can see into my backyard (location of two story homes in proximity to yours), condition of near neighbor properties, quiet location, exposure of...
