The Wonders of Walker County and Great Lake Livingston!
2007-08-24 18:24:44
The Wonders of Walker County and Great Lake Livingston !Huntsville is 35,078+ people proud. Another 17,000 students at Sam Houston State University fill our streets at any given time! We are blessed with the historical tales of Sam Houston himself and offer a terrific Museum with artifacts and his original homestead filled with authentic relics. Our town square is quaint with gorgeous architecture and historic buildings. Antiquing is one of my favorite past times while walking the square. The feeling of Pride is everywhere. Sam Houston State University brings culture and talent to our city.                                                                    &


TOO HOT TO HANDLE!
2007-08-23 21:51:33
  TOO HOT TO HANDLE! Here I am in Texas. "Whew". I love showing properties but this is definitely the most trying time of the year. I'm 52 so I'm sure you women around my age understand that it can become excessively hot even in a 72 degree room just out of the blue!!  When you're sitting in A/C it's a surprise when your head begins to perspire, your blouse begins to become wet with some unknown flash of heat and when your head begins to pound and your heart flutters and it feels as if you are an old steam engine with a whole crew throwing coal into your middle parts to stoke the fire...BUT WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO SELL A HOUSE?It's just plain annoying. The other day I was showing a lovely couple from Houston a few lake houses. Wonderful conversation, strong buyers, lovely people and me. It was going pretty well even though it was a cool 108 degrees in the sun. Not to mention the humidity! Wow, and they think we have it easy! I drive a

My dog day of summer. My Choice.
2007-08-18 23:01:40
  Saying Goodbye:Last night our lovely dog Buddy lay in the living room floor and wailed in pain. He was reacting to my daughters' sympathetic, melodic voice. He had been so brave and was always a talker. My husband would pull out the bag of dog food each evening and Buddy would begin his song of "Ri Ruv Roo" with distinguishable syllables. His tail would rotate full circle and his smile with his impressive white teeth would mouth, "hurry up and feed me" while doing his Labrador dance. Buddy was a drop off. An unwanted drop off. But, after two attempts at giving him away he was brought back for the final time and we decided he could stay. We already had Sadie, our very large Rottweiler, and Jill, our needy Australian Shepard.  We soon lost Sadie and Buddy stepped right into the role of taking care of Jill.  He became a part of our family.  We spent the evening saying goodbye.This morning:My husband, a devoted man to his family and also a

Deb's Lake Livingston Real Estate Slump? Not here!
2007-08-12 15:26:19
Have you been wanting to purchase a getaway, lakehome, second home or investment property but are now hearing of the possible Real Estate Industry Slump ?                     This slump will not affect the Lake Livingston Real Estate Market!                       If you are a strong buyer with good credit you will not feel the affect! This slump is caused by simply loaning too much money for too little interest to buyer's that were not sufficiently qualified.  Adjustable rate mortgages are about to begin their climb which will again cause more shakey loans. One in five houses (homesteads) are defaulting and being returned to the lending companies.                   &nb


Disclosure vs Dementia and Alzheimer's! I didn't say that.
2007-03-25 15:06:29
                                                        I didn't say that!I believe there is a new and unusual challenge all Realtors/Agents are about to face. I looked the monster in the face and I can tell you it's scary. I base all my dealings on the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth which I think all Realtors/Agents certainly try to do! I recently sat down with my Seller and a buyer that was fully aware that I represented the Seller and we signed a contract. Step by step, paragraph by paragraph, verbal agreements aside it was all in writing. My Seller was ecstatic. The buyer was ecstatic. We had a deal.              &nbs

Deb's Blog #2, What I'm Thinking!
2007-03-20 17:36:08
Waterfront Real Estate log #2.....what I'm thinking. Why buy Real Estate by the water? Most people including and not limited to Baby Boomers, the almost Baby Boomers, the pre-Baby Boomers, and the rest of everyone else would like to live on or near the water.  That covers just about everyone. Why? Well, we ARE mostly water. The miracles of life include the fact that we could not live without it. I began to come into adulthood in the 1970's and was baking my body on the beaches of Clearwater Beach, Fla.  I worshipped the sun. When I hit my 30's it was necessary to have that healthy "sun kissed look" that we all avoid now. Today, in my 39's and holding I am still drawn to the cool blue waters, the sun sparkling on the waves like diamonds and the slightly fishy, wild aroma that washes in with the waves. Never is there a time that my soul is not calmed by the still waters of our lovely Lake livingston. I moved here to the Piney Woods of Huntsville t


Deb's Lake Livingston Real Estate Blog! Realtors are people too!
2007-03-20 15:55:42
                                                                                                          REALTORS ARE PEOPLE TOO! Yes, Realtors are people too. So many of my customers/clients (at least in the beginning) jokingly remind me that Realtors are like car salesmen. How on earth did we get that bad wrap? Why is it a bad wrap anyway? We have to buy cars! I, like most other Realtors, put my customers first and foremost! My true pleasure is derived from makin

Reciprocity or Animosity?
2007-09-07 20:22:25
Reciprocity or Animosity? Hi. I am a newbie. I don't give a darn about whether you read me, like me, or agree with me. I was so excited to come across Active Rain! Somewhere I could just be me and it didn't matter. I blogged till my fingers hurt since I'm the worst typist in the world. But, all I seem to read lately is how everyone is being "catty".  I am disappointed in this site. I felt thrilled when I read Chris and Marti, TLW and Karen too. It sounded like the people here really cared about others. It didn't seem like everyone was vying for the top spot on AR. What is that anyway? I am in the top of my GOOGLE field in my area and isn't that what counts? I would much rather read about people's REAL LIFE DRAMAS instead of hearing about everyone's biotching about everything. I am disappointed and wish we could all be friends. Thanks, Deb
