There are 2 schools that we know are in dire need of jackets as well as toys. The jackets will go to needy kids that the teachers put food in the backpacks on Friday's as they go home for the weekend. The toy drive is for the Chris Martz Ronald McDonald House. We would love for everyone to drop off a gently used or new jacket as well as unwrapped gifts at our office. We will make sure they get delivered. Thank you!

It’s here! Open from November 4, 2011 – November 13, 2011 Wurstfest in New Braunfels, Texas

It’s the biggest salute to sausage that I have ever seen. Ten days of eating, dancing and drinking German beer!

Every year when the weather turns, Wurstfest shows up. This is a spectacular event for families (during the day) and the “others” in the evening. On the grounds there are huge tents with different types of music and dancing. Inside there is food galore. From yes, you figured it out, sausage on a stick, sausage with sauerkraut or any other way that you like it, funnel cake, fried pickles, you name it they have it.

Just get out and enjoy responsibly. For more information www.Wurstfest.com

Gosh darn, I'm just proud! Proud that in this trying market that J.D. Power & Associates' study found out that RE/MAX ranks the highest in making the Buyers and Sellers satisfied. Overall satisfaction is determined by 3 factors of the Buying side: agent/salesperson, office; and variety of additional services. Four factors are used for the Seller side: agent/salesperson; marketing; office; and variety of additional services. Well, that's just cool.

Here's the press release!
