San Antonio Real Estate

If you live in South Texas you know that it has been plain ole hot this past week with temperatures hitting record highs (a string of 103 days). We have also seen record amounts of rain in the Northeast while we are behind in our rain fall for the last couple of years. This kind of weather extremes are possibly a result of global warming.  We ...

I do not know if any of you made it to the Green Camp, but if you did not you missed a cool event.  It was great to see so many people who have woke up and realize we cant continue our wasteful ways when it come to the ecology of the planet earth.Yeah, I know some of you are saying enough with the Green already! I have to tell you we are only ...

Wow, I almost missed another week’s post!  I guess it is good I am busy but I have to admit it is not all real estate that is keeping me busy.  I am one who gets bored easy so I am usually working 2 or 3 different venues at a time. That way I stay fresh and interested in what I am doing and it never becomes just a routine.So, are ...

Wow! Another week has gone by and it is time to blog!  I am going to be short today and do a promo for Earth Day April 22, 2009. I hope all who read this will celebrate the day in some manner.  It could be as easy as planting a tree or attending an Earth Day event. Now is the time to get involved, you do not have to embrace the green ...

Well we have entered a new year and I am sure many of us made resolutions. I do hope some of you made a resolution to do all you can to help improve the environment we live in. Often we think as an individual we can do little to change things! The last time I looked every human being is an individual, change starts and ends with you the ...

Well it is time to say goodbye to 2008 and hello to 2009.  This past year has been an eye opener for us all. We have seen an economy that was moving right along shift into reverse.  We have seen people who are usually optimistic turn to hard-core pessimism on the economy.  What does 2009 hold for us? If the incoming administration ...

Okay, time to climb back up on the “soapbox” again!  As anyone can tell from this Blog I have a keen interest in the environment. So, I occasionally use this blog to voice concerns and also to pass out notes of interest. I have a note to pass along! There is an excellent documentary being shown in town at the Bijou Theater by the ...

Last week I wrote a post about the current building methods being used by a large number of builders in the San Antonio area; namely the trucking in of supplies and building homes on site. My question is this method of building sustainable? The quick answer is yes we have been building homes this way for years. I also know most consumers put a ...

It rained last night at least at my house!  It was not much but any rain is appreciated.  The rain got me to thinking about water management, especially how is run off handled.  I know one of the mandated methods is to build a holding pond/pool for the water running off of parking lots.  I am sure you have all seen the fenced ...

Everyone dislike to have uninvited guest, namely insects in their home.  The pest control industry has made great strides in helping us to keep our homes pest free.  They have also gone a long way in convincing us that all pests are undesirable to have in our homes or in our yards.  A little known fact; you can have fire ants or ...
