According to the Austin Business Journal, our single family home sales rose in September; 6%! Not only that, but our median sale price rose as well. What recession?

Looking for some local Austin Hot Spots to check out? My personal two favorites on this list are Hey Cupcake and Corazon at Castle Hill. Hey Cupcake has the most amazing (and large) cupcakes you will see around and a very Austin-like trailer as their store!
Corazon Castle Hill has a great location on 5th Street downtown and has delicious authentic modern mexican food; their empanadas are always warm and come with every one of their big and crispy salads.
Exploring Austin can be very, very fun!!
I am an alumna of the University of Texas and just have to take a second to gloat. I could not attend the Red River Shootout in Dallas this year, unfortunately. :(
However, the win (even though it wasn't the prettiest win ever) was still just as sweet!
Here is a UT picture I LOVE.
Hook em' Horns!!!
I make a calendar every month with fun activities to do around town; Live Music, Art, Theatre, Comedy, Fun-Runs, and much more. I send this out at the end of the month before the 1st to all my clients, family, and friends.
Don't forget to have some fun every month!
I have previously blogged on a leak I had in the ceiling of my living room. I first reported it to my HOA on June 28th, 2009. This is what the ceiling looked like when it started turning yellow, and eventually leaking.
Before:
After about one month, the HOA finally sent someone over to cut a hole in the ceiling where it was leaking. It then looked like this:
After THREE months, it's finally being fixed (right now, as I type!) and THIS is what it has turned into:
This little leak has turned into a 5x4 disaster! After opening up the wall they realized everything was ruined from the wood planks, to the insulation, and of course the sheet-rock. They are having to repair it all. What a mess!
Fix things as soon as the problem starts or the situation can get much worse!
Austin, Texas REALTOR® that specializes in residential homes/condos, investment properties, and vacation homes on Lake LBJ. Real Estate is my passion and so is making clients and friends for life!
I grew up in Houston, Texas (in a town near NASA called League City) and came to Austin to study government and advertising at the University of Texas. I loved this city so much that after graduating with a BA from UT, I never left!
Unlike most Real Estate Professionals, I actually have experience on all sides of the transaction, having previous work experience in the escrow and title business working at Fortune 500 Title Companies; Fidelity National Title and LandAmerica Austin Title. I knew sales is where I wanted to be and have sold over 2 million dollars of real estate in the last year!
I stand apart from other licensed agents as I belong to the National Association of Realtors, making me a REALTOR®, and not just a real estate agent. The difference? A strong code of Ethics that every Realtor must abide by. I also belong to the Texas Association of Realtors as well as the Austin Board of Realtors.
My most recent accomplishment is the GRI (Graduate of the Realtor Institute) designation. I completed over 90 additional hours of education and testing to obtain this designation, which less than 20% of all Realtors nationwide hold!
I work primarily by referral from my clients, family, and friends. Residential homes and condos, investment properties, and vacation homes on Lake LBJ are the areas that I have spent most of my career in. I work mostly in Central and South Austin, but have represented both buyers and sellers in Georgetown, Round Rock, Marble Falls, and just about everywhere in between!
I Would Be Honored to Be Your REALTOR® for Life!
"After trying to market my rental property on my own for several months with no success, I turned to Taylor for her expertise. She managed to find a qualified renter in a very short amount of time. Taylor was very responsive and great to work with. I will definitely count on Taylor for my future real estate needs."
