SOL Austin

"Representing the intersection of affordability, quality design, and environmental responsibility," SOL: Solutions Oriented Living, is one of the first, and most unique, net-zero communities that Austin has to offer!

Over the weekend, a buyer client of mine and SOL reached an agreement for her to purchase their most unique property in the entire community. SOL has about 10 different floorplans ranging in prices, that you can read more about here: SOL .pdf Brochure.

My client's house is the only house that was already pre-existing on their site, so its been torn down and completely renovated, making this the only home of its kind: truly unique!

In addition to over 1,100 square feet, 3 bedroms, 2 bathrooms, cedar walls, concrete floors, built-in desks and storage, walk-in closets, large fenced yard, 2 car built-on carport, this home also offers an outdoor shower for those hot summer days!!

I am very excited for this project to come to completion and know it's going to be an absolutely beautiful home!

If you want to learn more about SOL Austin, you can visit their website SOL Austin.

Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have about this community or others like it. I can also show you around SOL if you would like to take a tour of this unique GREEN East Austin neighborhood.

*Remember, always have representation; especially when buying new homes. The on site sales people are extremely helpful and knowledgeable, but remember that they represent the builder, not you!*

Plane Crashes Into Austin Building Early Yesterday

Plane Crashes Into Building in North Austin

I'm sure most people have heard this story by now, but just wanted to touch base on the facts for those that haven't. Early yesterday, Andrew Joseph Stack, flew his personal airplane into an IRS building in North Austin off of Hwy 183.

Before flying his plane into the building, he set fire to his 2.500 square foot house in North Austin off Palmer Lane and Metric Boulevard.

Joe, frustrated with the IRS, decided to take extreme actions by burning his house down and running his plane into the IRS building because he felt that was the only way to get the attention of the government. He wrote many ramblings on his website that make reference to everything that has happened:

"The end result is... well, just look around. I saw it written once that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different. I am finally ready to stop this insanity. Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let's try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well."

It's very eerie to read, and of course very sad. He is survived by his wife Sheryl and her 12 year old daughter.
