INSPECTIONS - Yes or No?
Clients are always asking me, "Do I really need to do inspections?" and "What inspections should I have done?".The answer is yes you should have the property inspected, inspections are the prudent thing to do. Remember the reason for doing inspections is to check and see if the major systems of the property are operating properly. The goal of the inspections is not to come up with a laundry list of little items in need of minor repair, but rather to determine if there is something so seriously wrong with the property that you should not buy the property. In our market here in Rockport, Tx we always start with a building inspection - this is a general inspection. The licensed inspector may see some red flags that will cause him to recommend a specialist such as a plumber or HVAC. Here in Rockport some properties are on a septic system and a septic inspection should always be done - the last thing you want at your new home is to unexpectedly need a new septic system to the tune of $6,000-$7,000. In short, inspections are for your protection!
GAS PRICES!
Every driver in Texas and the entire United States is feeling the pinch of high gas prices - and there is no relief in sight. Does this mean you have to give up your dream of a retirement home or vacation spot of your own? Not at all! Millions of people live only a tank of gas or less from Rockport, Texas (Houston, Austin, San Antonio and points in between). Now is the time to buy a place close to home for you and your family to enjoy on weekends and vacations. All indications are that high prices at the gas pump will be continuing for quite some time. Here in beautiful Rockport, Tx there is a nice selection of properties in all price ranges from modest to impressive, and in all sizes from small to palatial. The best part, is they are all located close enough to home for you and your family to enjoy them often. As a bonus, you can rent out your vacation dream spot to help defray the cost fuel to visit your Rockport get-a-way. Winter Texans love Rockport and rent here every winter from 1 to 5 months, and during the summer of course we are a vacation hot spot with fishing, boating, golfing and fun.

Hi Pat!
We want to thank you for all your help! We are thrilled with our new home and are looking forward to having friends and family come visit.
I was really amazed at how quickly you were able to assess our wishes/needs even better than we could articulate. House hunting long-distance can be difficult, but you didn't waste our time with properties that were not going to fit our needs. You helped us maintain that balance between seeing a range of houses and staying focused on our goal.
Thanks also for the quick alert when THE house came on the market. Because of your quick response, we were able to come down, see it, make an offer in a matter of days! Had you not been so on top of the market, I am convinced we would have missed our dream house. Thanks again!

We tried to sell our home by ourselves and with 2 different realtors. Then Pat came into our lives and everything changed. She sold our house 1 week after we listed it with her and for more money than we believed we could get. She made the process easy and nearly stress free. Thanks Pat-we think you are the best and we tell anyone who is thinking of selling to call you!! Good job! Ron and Sandy Howden Sandy & Ron Howden
