I feel it is very important and necessary to advise Consumers to be aware of an alarming issue in the real estate community. Right now the market is down and has been since 2007. As a result, many long time agents are getting full time employment jobs and leaving their real estate careers for the weekends. As a consumer with a real estate need, you will want a full time Realtor that can help you anytime, not just after business hours. The same can be true for your lender and inspector. You want someone you can not only get in contact with, but someone with a focus on their real estate career. Someone who has the experience, training, and dedication for every real estate market. We all know the re market swings up and down, but if you are an agent that’s not in it for the long haul, I would not want you helping me with one of the biggest and most important decisions in my life. Please choose wisely when you pick a Realtor.
Ask your Realtor questions about their dedication to the industry and what alternate income streams they have. You may find your Realtor really isn’t a real estate agent at all, they may be a flight attendant, a lender, insurance salesman, or waiter. Ask the questions and consumers beware of part time realtors who want to make money off of you in real estate without having to commit to the industry.
Choose someone who keeps up with industry news and is ready to help you any day of the week! Someone who works in real estate daily!
At RREA, you will find dedicated Realtors that are experienced and in business for the long haul, no matter what the market is doing!
This is Part IV on the changes that are taking place January 1, 2012 to Texas Laws that affect real estate professionals, property owners, and tenants. You can read the first three parts of the series on the RREA Blog. This is the final part of the series and below addresses the appeals for appraisals.
Many homeowners appeal their property appraisals every year to lower their taxes. The changes to the Texas Laws for property owners in Collin, Denton, Fort Bend, and Montgomery Counties affect those properties that are worth more than $1 Million. Property owners of properties over $1 Million can now appeal their property appraisals throught the State Office of Administrative Hearings rather than taking that appeal to district court. Property owners in Bexar, Cameron, El Paso, Harris, Tarrant, and Travis counties were given that option two years ago.
To find out more information on appealing your taxes, contact your local Realtor. Realtors have access to the comparable properties in your area that can help you fight your taxes. Give us a call at RREA if you would like a market analysis of your property – 281.288.3500.

NORCROSS, Ga. (Site Selection)
– Texas has claimed the top slot in Site Selection magazine’s “Top Business Climate 2011″ contest.
The Lone Star State finished strong in the objective, data-driven component of the index used to determine the top business climates, as
well as in the subjective input supplied by respondents to the magazine’s annual executive survey of site selectors.
One survey respondent commended Texas for being “a pro-business, entrepreneurial, right-to-work state.” Another applauded the state’s
tax climate, regulatory environment, incentive programs and work-force development efforts.
Site Selection reported that 40 percent of the new U.S. jobs created since June 2009 were created in Texas. A ranking by NewGeography.com supports that.
That site’s “Best Cities for Job Growth 2011″ rankings look at employment data over time across three population tiers. In the small
metros category, Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood placed first, College Station-Bryan third and Midland fourth. El Paso placed first in
the midsize tier, followed by Corpus Christi and, in fourth, McAllen-Edinburg-Mission. In the large tier, Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos placed first, Houston-Sugar
Land-Baytown third, San Antonio-New Braunfels fourth and Dallas-Plano-Irving fifth.
Those jobs mean demand for office space, another area in which Texas has stood out. Houston, Austin and Dallas finished in the top ten markets
nationally in office space demand, according to an analysis by national real estate services firm Cassidy Turley. The firm found those
three markets alone accounted for nearly 20 percent of all net demand in third quarter 2011.
“Other markets in Texas are also positive,” said Kevin Thorpe, chief economist with Cassidy Turley. “The U.S. is a mixed-bag story, with
many negative markets and many positive markets. In Texas, it’s positive across the board.”
