Could the Google Car not find Highland Village?

October 15, 2009
Google Maps Square

I use Google Maps a lot being a real estate agent in Denton County, so I have noticed this for quite a while, but has the Google Car gotten lost trying to find Highland Village, TX?

You all know what I mean don’t you? It is the vehicle used by Google has been using since 2007 when it expanded it’s to capture the street view images we can find by zooming all the way in on an address using Google Maps. These views are available when you see Pegmanpegman_arrow-10, you can then pick him up and drag him to do different locations or areas within a map. This is a great tool to get a basic lay of the land when searching for real estate, or amenities available around an area or house you may be interested buying.

This is a question I get far to often, and I should have addressed here publicly long ago. I make no bones about it ((To state a fact in a way that allows no doubt. To have no objection to)) I concentrate on the buying and selling real estate in Denton County, concentrating on Highland Village, Lewisville, Corinth, Little Elm, and all points in between within Denton County. I even work on the fringes of Grapevine and Saginaw which are in Tarrant County Texas. I believe this best allows me to provide superior service to those I represent.

But, far to often I get emails or phone calls from those who are in need of assistance with some of the loan programs, or services I discuss here. So this is announcement saying Yes I can help you…

* Buy real estate in Collin County
* Sell your home in Plano, Texas
* Buy a property in Fort Worth, Texas
* List your home in Tarrant County
* Buy vacant land anywhere in the state of Texas
* Real Estate services all over the country

Buyer Beware: When Considering a Short-Sale and your Tax Credit

June 29, 2009
Thumbnail image for Buyer Beware: When Considering a Short-Sale and your Tax Credit

This is a topic I have been intending to write about for several weeks — But I have been so busy working on deals with my current clients I have not been able to throw out this bit of caution to some of my readers, and hopefully soon-to-be customers. My prediction after gauging the temperament, price ranges of starter homes, and the quest for a “good deal” by first-time homebuyers is that many hoping to take advantage of this short-sale market may miss the opportunity of receiving their First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit. I have not really written or even mentioned much about short-sales on this website; simply because there are plenty of other sources, and acquiring customers who may buy a short-sale simply comes with the real estate landscape for the time being.

$8000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit

Thumbnail image for $8000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit

Now it is my tun to break down the $8000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit. I must admit, when the bill was being negotiated in the Senate, before moving forward to the House of Representatives I was following it very close, in attempt to report the results in a timely manner. But as we know now, that was a lost cause because it kept changing hourly it seemed. But now we have a signed bill, and albeit it was very trimmed down from what the Senate, National Association of REALTORS®, and the National Association of Home Builders wanted as was outlined in Fix Housing First Act article I posted, notably which would have included a $15,000 tax credit for everyone buying a home.
