Homes for Heroes Program

I am proud to say that I am a member of the Homes for Heroes program. Being a member of the program is a wonderful way for me to give back to the men and women who work so hard to give their all to the community. The program is open to police officers, firefighters, anyone in the military (including reserves), hospital personnel, and even educators.

If you would like to reap the benefits of this program and are in the Greater Houston area, please contact me at 281-387-8805 or, if you are located outside the Houston area, visit the Homes for Heroes website.

Some Buyers Still Don't Know What a Buyer's Agent Is?!

I have had the privilege of working 2 real estate markets - Dallas and Houston. To my amazement, there are so many buyers in the Houston area who either don't know what a Buyer's Agent is or simply don't care. It was only after obtaining listings that I found out that so many buyers out there call the listing agent to see property, rather than obtaining their own agent ... this was not the case in Dallas, where I only occasionally received calls from buyers interested in viewing one of my listings, and if I did, I quickly converted them to a buyer who worked solely with me.

So I'm wondering ... is it that buyers in Houston aren't aware of what a Buyer's Agent is, or again, do they simply not care and wish to cut out any "middle man" (the Buyer's Agent)?

I'm still trying to figure this one out!!
