Home Buyers Incentive – NEW TWIST
February 25, 2009 by
About a week ago, I told you about the new version of the Home Buyer Tax Credit, and at that time I had an idea of how this could REALLY be a benefit to someone thinking about buying a home, especially if he/she didn’t have a lot of cash for down-payment or closing costs. I […]
Feature Friday – Highland Trails
February 20, 2009 by
This week I’m highlighting an area in North Edmond that many folks seem to be gravitating toward lately. It’s a unique community, in that it offers acreage lots in the highly sought Edmond Public School system. It’s located on Kelly, about 2/3 mile North of Waterloo, but that’s enough from me… I had the pleasure […]

Storm Shelters On My Mind
February 14, 2009 by
Storm Shelters On My Mind Originally uploaded by rhukill Since Tuesday’s bout with Mother Nature, there seems to be a lot of my clients with storm-safety on their mind, which in turn has me taking extra-special notice of things like you see here. This huge underground storm shelter is one of the perks of a […]

Pictures of the Edmond Tornado of Feb 2009
February 11, 2009 by
Yesterday was a miserable, storm-ridden one for many folks in Oklahoma. Tornadoes can be fickle, and these were no different. Doing extensive damage to one home, while leaving the one next door untouched is a common characteristic, and while driving a few Edmond neighborhoods today, I saw a wide range of damage. You’ll see pictures […]
