If you ever want to get the public blood boiling, start proposing tax increases… even better, property tax increases. That’s what the City of Edmond is doing. This is a topic I could rant about for days, but I’ll try to keep it brief here. Apparently, the powers that be are proposing a tax hike for […]

Earlier in the week, I mentioned that there are rumblings that the MAC may be expanding, and I just discovered that the talks have gone further than I originally thought.

A good friend of mine bought a gorgeous home in Summer Ridge last year, and he’s really in tune with what’s going on in the neighborhood. Of course, I’m always interested too, since it’s one of the communities I had a part in developing, so I thought I’d dig in to see what’s been going […]

March 20, 2008 by
I got a call today from a gentleman who lives in Cedar Pointe and is thinking about selling his home. I figured while I’m researching the most recent comps in the neighborhood, now would be a good time for my monthly report on what’s selling, what’s not, and what’s new on the market in Cedar […]

When you close on a home, you get a wonderful gift at the closing table. A big fat folder full of documents that most people don’t understand and, frankly, don’t want to understand. The question often comes up, ‘what do I do with these’ or ‘do I have to keep these somewhere safe?’ Sounds familiar […]

Today I stumbled across Laurie Manny’s post about RSS Hugger, which is a new blog directory that “aims to bring bloggers and readers together” through RSS […]
Low-Cost Ways to Make Your Home Shine
March 17, 2008 by
A few years ago, the NAR published this list of ways to spruce up your home, and I figure it’s worth revisiting: Trim bushes so they don’t block windows and cut down on light. Buy a new doormat. Put a pot of bright flowers (or a small evergreen in winter) on your porch. Put new […]
How Do I Get My Edmond Home SOLD??
March 17, 2008 by
In this tougher, more competitive market, this is becoming a more common question. With that in mind, I’m making it easier than ever for home owners in Edmond and NW OKC to find out what it’s really going to take to get that sometimes elusive ‘SOLD’ sign out front. Marketing homes (and getting real results) […]
