Oklahoma - the only state with where homeschooling is covered in the constitution. - Jun 06 08:46 AM
I have had several calls from homeschooling families considering moving to Oklahoma.  They have questions about how our state looks at and deals with families that homeschool their children.
According to the Homeschooling Legal Defense Association:
"Oklahoma is the only state with a constitutional provision guaranteeing the right to home school. Section 4, Art. 13 of the Constitution of Oklahoma guarantees the home school exemption by stating that the legislature "shall" provide for the "compulsory attendance at some ...

Grandchildren & Children = Are You Being a Good Example? - Jun 21 06:45 AM
The Blessings of Grandchildren
That old saying, “If I had known how much fun grandchildren were going to be, I would have skipping having children and just had grandchildren,” has some truth in it.
I don’t think that it’s the difference in children...whether your own children...or your children’s children (grandchildren).
I really believe that it’s the difference in our perspectives as we grow a little bit older.
As I begin to enjoy the “twilight of my ...

Waterfront House Plans - Aug 14 10:16 PM
Thinking of building that lake-house? There are things to think about for that lake-house house-plan! 
Start with the question, "Why did you want to build on the lake to start with?"
There are probably several reasons for wanting a waterfront residence but somewhere in the list is THE VIEW.
When shopping for blueprints or talking to the architect, look for plans that allow the maximum exposure to the view from as many rooms as possible.

Does Coffee Taste Better in Your Favorite Cup? - Jun 02 10:48 PM
Mine Does!
Coffee tastes better in certain cups, tea better in certain glasses.  A drink of water from certain glassess quinches the thirst better.  A drink from the wrong cup or glass leaves me still wanting....it lacks something.
How can that be?  I don't know but it is true.
Part of the enjoyment of something is the atmosphere in which we partake of it.
The same is true of your home.  If you want to sell ...

Moving to Oklahoma from another state? You cannot find a real estate agent. - Aug 18 03:38 AM
If you are relocating to Oklahoma and the state that you are moving from has real estate agents, be aware that Oklahoma does not.
Oklahoma along with some other states has adopted a new way to doing things in real estate. I have had several people contact me lately that are moving here from another state and expect agency law.
Oklahoma law provides for two ways that a real estate licensee (Broker or Sales Associate) can work for ...

I work with brokers that work with me. - Jul 10 08:14 PM
The mls in our area is in Durant, 2 hours drive from Idabel.  There is only one other brokerage office in Idabel that is on the mls.  I have been on it for 1 year and have only had one sale through another brokerage office due to the mls.  But that does not mean that co-operation and co-brokerage doesn't work here. 
In fact, it works very well. I am more than willing to work with the ...

What's Your Favorite Meeting Place That Clients Can Easily Find? - Jun 18 07:48 AM
June 17, 2008
"The Depot" is one place in Fort Towson, Oklahoma where everyone knows it's location.  That makes it my favorite spot to meet clients.  Yesterday, I made use of it twice.  Met a client there to cancel a contract and later in the day met clients there to show them vacant waterfront lots around Lake Raymond Gary. 
The Oklahoma Uniform Contracts are great because they provide buyers a time frame to do their inspections ...

Oklahoma is OK! - Apr 20 09:58 PM
OK, so I kind of took that line from the play, "Oklahoma!".  But it's the truth, especially in these times of attention-grabbing headlines about rising foreclosures and falling home prices.  As Realtors and investors have always known, all real estate is local.  So now the secret is out:  just because the East and West coasts and some other high cost areas have seen huge decreases in prices of late does not mean that the whole US real estate market is ...

ICE STORM AFFECTS OKLAHOMA CITY METRO AREA HOUSING MARKET - Jan 26 09:49 AM
The severe ice storm experienced in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area in November of 2007 contributed to a slower housing market.  Many businesses were closed due to power outages, and prospective buyers did not get out in the difficult weather conditions to look at homes.  As well, many sellers decided not to put their homes on the market, but to wait till Spring instead.  Because of this, and a slow-down in new building starts, the area ...

Broken Arrow, Oklahoma real estate market - Nov 03 10:06 PM
You know we have been hearing for what seems like years, the media telling us the real estate market is coming crashing down. Yes, this is true for most real estate markets but it's not the case with the market here in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Like I mentioned before the CMA's or comparables I have run lately still are seeing an increase over values from six months ago. This is good for the Tulsa, Broken Arrow ...

The Oklahoma Housing Market - Jun 29 01:02 AM
I hear so many negative things about the housing market. Some areas are not doing as well as others we all know that. The housing market is local, not nation wide.

Oklahoma Foreclosures Still Lower Than Average - Sep 04 11:53 PM
The buzzword of the year seems to be "foreclosure." Everywhere you turn, you see news reports, print stories and hear discussions about the rise of foreclosures. I guess maybe the second most used buzzword is "real estate slump." Yep, both of these terms will stir up massive fear in every home owner and aspiring home buyer.
I know because I see it every day. Those who simply watch the news, without really investigating things for themselves, truly ...

Doing the jobs Americans won't do... - Apr 28 01:10 PM
Something strange is happening in Oklahoma! While the nation's unemployment is on the rise - 5.1% in March, up from 4.4% in March of 2007 - Oklahoma unemployment is going in the opposite direction - DOWN to 3.1% in March from 4% in March of 2007.

ICE STORM RESULTS IN EXTENSIVE AND COSTLY PROPERTY DAMAGE IN OKLAHOMA CITY AREA - Dec 31 09:13 AM
 
 
The recent ice storm in the Oklahoma City metro area caused power outages for hundreds of thousands of Oklahoma City residents.  We have friends who were without power for 11 days!  My brother and his wife had no power for 5 days, and stayed with us during that time.  We lost power for about a day, but were fortunate to have a gas fireplace and a gas stove in our kitchen.  These kept our home above ...

Simmons Homes- Extreme Makeover on TV this Sunday (I'm a Big Fan) - May 15 10:26 PM
We'd looked at about twenty four houses, and wrote an offer on one.  It was the nicest house in a medium house neighborhood, I had some concern about regression (from real estate class, when the biggest homes in a neighborhoods values tend to regress to the mean) and we didn't quite bid high enough to get it.
Then I tried something new.  I took out all the square footage requirements that my clients had suggested and, ...

COHBA Launches DefyTheTrends.com : Don't let the national media scare you out of the smartest move you can make. - Apr 17 11:01 AM
With all the negative hype in the media about housing values falling around the country, it's no wonder many are skeptical about whether or not now is a good time to buy a new home. The fact is, in Oklahoma, the timing to buy a new home really has never been better. The Oklahoma City Metro is among the few markets in the country still enjoying consistent gains in home values, and mortgage rates are at ...

Here in Oklahoma, we go to the polls on Tuesday, March 5, 2008, to vote for an extension to our currently in existence one penny temporary sales tax increase.  That tax is due to expire in January of 2009, unless voters approve the proposal to extend the tax for an additional 12 months with a 3 month extension if we do, in fact, get the contract with an NBA team by June 1, 2009.  That additional ...

Supreme Court Ruling May Affect New Home Prices in Oklahoma - Feb 23 02:57 PM
 
 The Oklahoma Suprmeme Court recently ruled unconstitutional a tax break which has been enjoyed by land developers and home builders in Oklahoma.  This tax break has allowed builders and land developers to freeze the taxable market value of land purchased for development to its value at the time it was purchased, thus saving developers and builders money.  The Court stated that the value of the land must be reassessed annually, as is the land owned by ...
