The Boehm Team would like to wish each and everyone of you a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving. If you happen to be in our neck of the woods, we also would like to let you know what is going on at this time of the year in Boerne.
Boerne started a tradition for the downtown shops a few years ago to help boost sales and Holiday spirits. Downtown is closed off so that you can walk from shop to shop without worrying about traffice. There is snow (yes I said snow in South Texas, man made of course), good food, carolers, horse drawn carriages, music, live productions and a nighttime parade. All of the entertainment is free! For more information go to http://www.boernedickensonmain.com/. The profits benefit the Roy Maas Meadowlands New Charter School.
Meadowlands is a wonderful place for children who can not be in their home for some reason. The Boehm Team and Keller Williams have sponsored children for Christmas. You have not experienced the true need for Christmas until you have had a Christmas lunch and gone back to the cabinets with the kids to watch them open their presents. They are so thrilled with the little that they are given and so proud of the facility they live in. If you have the time to be to give to a child, please contact http://rmya.readyhosting.com/.
Remember Santa visits Boerne every year after the parade, because he knows that Boerne has a big heart. So come spend some time with us here in Boerne and maybe spend some time with a child over at Meadowlands.
What does "Staging" mean? Staging is not decorating. Staging a home is all about appealing to a buyer and not about your personal taste. Remember the idea is to sell your home not to make it pretty for you! When you stage a home it is to show off the best features of your home and to de-clutter it. It needs to look like a showplace, not a home at this point.
A well staged home will make a great impression to buyers and other realtors alike. A well staged home will be clean, uncluttered and showing your home in its best light. Staged homes usually sell faster and at a better price. A little bit of investment on your part with a stager or your realtor helping you will help you to move your property and get you on the road to your new home.
You have to make your home stand out from all the homes on the market. And lets face it there are a lot of homes on the market at this time. If you live in our area, its not really foreclosures that are flooding the market, but rather the AT&T move out of the San Antonio area. So what you want to do is hit the buyer in a positive emotional way with fresh flowers, candles, or the smell of baked goods, fresh fruit (bright oranges & apples, or limes and lemons are great choices). Shine the place up by putting citrus oil on all the cabinets and making sure all the windows are clean and sparkling. Add coziness with afghans, throws and pillows on the furniture.
If you have decided not to use a professional stager or your realtor make sure to get a second opinion from your realtor, your neighbor or a friend to see what they think of your newly staged home. You can also get ideas from magazines & model homes for arranging furniture, creating walk space and using your accessories effectively.
Some definite do's:
If you live in the San Antonio or Texas Hill Country Area and feel that a stager might be right for you, please give Sandra Sursa.
Did you know today is the 90th day of the armistice for World War 1 went into effect? Did you know it also went into effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. I find that amazing!
The Boehm Team has a deep and abiding affection as well as respect for the Military. Our families have all served and some of us have even dated military men (i.e. a Blue Angel). We were actually invited out to se the Blue Angels the weekend before last and I wanted to share a picture with you. It was awesome what those planes can do. And also it makes you very proud to watch them fly by and no that they represent the country that you live in.
If you are part of the military or no someone who is please feel free to go to our website and check out our Military Page. It has links to a site where you can go to check out information about all the military bases for the United States. It is a great place to go if you are being transferred to one of those facilities. Those of you who have business that could give a little back to the military please visit the site also. There is a place where you can sign up to give discounts or coupons from your business to the military in your area. Here is the direct link: http://www.myboehmteam.com/militaryrelocation.html
This beautiful 6 story home is available and you get to determine who will be living there for the next term or two!
Even though President Washington was the President in office when this amazing home was commissioned he never got to live in it. President John Adams was the first to live at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The home was almost completely gutted during Truman's presidency but the outside facade remains basically the same.
Basic facts about the President's Palace as it was once called:
Bedrooms are unknown because over the years rooms that were bedrooms have been used for other things and vice a versa.
The White House Gardens have been pampered and planned by President Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, etc along with a few first ladies, including Jacqueline Kennedy and Lady Bird Johnson, who all of us from Texas knows had a knack for making the countryside beautiful.
So if you want to have a say in the process of who lives in your property over there in D.C. then get out today and vote if you have not already done so.
The Pink Ladies of Keller Williams just wanted to wish you a Happy Halloween.
We had a little contest at the office and of course we won!! Pink Ladies Rule the School, you know. LOL Here's a few pictures of our decorations for you to enjoy, we hope.
Don't you love the Jack O Lantern that Rita made?! The sign is for our office which we put on the market this week. LOL It says we have exceptional views (no windows), spacious quarters (10x10 with 3 people in it) and easy access to I-10, well we actually are right on I-10, so 1 out of 3 aint bad!

"Thank you for all the hard work you put into selling my house. You had an awesome packet put together before you even started selling the house. The pictures were the best I have seen; and not to mention there was a contract for a buyer 5 days after it was put on the market! We couldn't have asked for more! You even found an incredible house for us to move into! Thank you again for all you have done for us!"
-Steve "Cowboy" & Terry Gross
"The Boehm Team represented us when we purchased a second home in Horseshoe Bay. We wanted to move quickly, so she took time to understand what we were looking for and only took us to view properties that fit our criteria. They were professional and extremely responsive to our questions and any issues that came up throughout the process. We would do business with them again in a heartbeat and refer them to all of our friends!"
-Chris Urbanek
"They say that moving is the second most stressful occurrence in life, but thanks to Amy Boehm, selling our home was easy. It was evident that Amy had a good handle on managing the sales process from the beginning with great recommendations to prepare our home to sell and we could not have been more pleased with the marketing strategy used as the volume of interested buyers was great. Thanks to Amy Boehm, selling our home was a fast, efficient, and simple process."
-Kris Ryan
"I recently found myself in the market for a second home and selecting Jennifer Beaudet as my realtor was one of the greatest choices I've ever made. Finding the right property was effortless and we had an accepted offer within days. Jen then went to work securing a quick close date and continued to follow up daily on the progress we were making. The personal attention I received was absolutely unbelievable. At times, it seemed as if I was her only client. She remained right there with me every step of the way and certainly made the entire process enjoyable. Without hesitation, I would DEFINITELY recommend Jennifer Beaudet and the Boehm Team to anyone looking for real estate.
- Jon Ramsey
When we decided to move to a new area of San Antonio, My Boehm Team stepped in and made the transition a quick, easy and fun process!Within one week we had a contract on our new home and had sold our current one. Amy's expert knowledge of the market areas and value of homes ensured that we didn't waste a lot of time haggling over cost and worrying about closing the deals. We've recommended them to our friends and family....and we certainly plan to come back when we're ready for the next move!
