Did you know the new appraisal rules are affecting our local market?
We need your help with appraisals!  With the new appraisal rules, our lenders are having to go to a "pool" to order the appraisal and we're seeing so many "out of area" appraisers trying to work in our area.  Take Silverlake, for example......we all know that not all Silverlake homes are comparable...just because the square footage and age are similar!  And you would think that appraisers would know that too!  Well, they do..........if they are familiar with our area.  Please help and sign the petition!

CALL TO ACTION!

HVCC is causing issues???  There are many horror stories from buyers, sellers, agents, builders and customers.  I ran across an “over the top” video explanation of how HVCC is harming our industry.  If you would like to do something about it, you can sign an electronic petition at www.hvccpetition.com and forward this email on to others you know who may be affected by this policy.  As of this morning over 41,000 people nationwide have signed the petition.
Warmest regards,

A Personal Message from Kathye
First I want to thank everyone for all the kind emails and support for my real estate business.  Many of you have asked why I haven't put more personal thoughts and notes on this BLOG.  Well, the truth is....I didn't think anyone would be interested!  So, today, I'm going to do that.

I've started using Facebook recently and it has been sort of like a BLOG in that I do talk about real estate topics.  Because I'm from Pearland, I have many friends, associates, past clients and relatives who keep up with others through family BLOGS, Facebook, MySpace, etc. 

So.......here are ...
