			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="mceTemp"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3196" src="http://thecenturytreereader.com/files/2011/03/laura.1-150x150.jpg" alt="laura." width="150" height="150" /><a href="http://century21bcs.com">The Century 21, Beal Inc</a>. Office of Bryan-College Station is pleased to say they have a new Broker Associate in sales named <strong>Laura Bounds.</strong> Laura will specialize in residential and rural property sales in the Brazos Valley. The team at Century 21, Beal Inc. is excited to welcome Laura into the company. Laura will do a great job with century 21. Mike Beal says &#8221;as a former instructor of both real estate core courses and trainer of sales agents in this market, Laura&#8217;s philosophy regarding training mirrors that of our company. We believe training supports growth and professional excellence in the real estate industry. Performance-based training is necessary to assure that Century 21 associates <span id="more-3194"></span>maintain their competitive edge and offer the best service possible to their clients.&#8221;</div>
<p>Laura joined the  Century 21 Beal, Inc. in 1989 when she was first licensed. Laura worked for 17 years as a top producing agent, instructors, and administrator in the Century 21, Beal Inc. office. She returned to school at Texas A&amp;M where she received her Bachelor&#8217;s and Master&#8217;s degree. She has three children and is recently a new grandmother. Laura understands the importance of taking care of her clients which is obvious when she said &#8220;although it is absolutely imperative to have the knowledge and experience that pertains to the details of the constracts and laws, ultimately you must care about your clients and their family.&#8221; Laura also recently taught at the High School in Normangee. She had the privilege of teaching all of Normangee&#8217;s sophomore and juniors for two years. She not only enjoyed teaching the students but she also helped them become very successful on the TAKS test. Her students had 100% passing rate their junior year.  <strong>You can reach Laura at 979-764-2100</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Texas A&amp;M University is one of the top schools according to recruiters assorting to a recent<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704554104575435563989873060.html" target="_blank"> survey by the Wall Street Journal.</a><br />

<p>From the comments by recruiters they are favoring state schools with the large student population and their focus on practical skills. Having a large population with solid academies, job skills and a record of success makes Texas A&amp;M University a top stop on recruiters lists. Having a large population to choose from helps reduce travel expenses and time for the recruiter too!</p>

<p>I am in Seattle for the Lou Tice Seminar that starts tomorrow. 3 days with Lou Tice!!!</p>
<p>Before the seminar started I flew in a little early so I could see a bit of Seattle and Pike&#8217;s Fish Market. If you haven&#8217;t read the book &#8220;Fish&#8221; yet, it is time!</p>
<p>Above is a short slide show of what I saw today. Seattle is beautiful!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the change in the real estate market have you wondered what is going on with licenses? <strong>Does Texas have MORE real estate agents or less?</strong></p>
<p>Thanks to Elizabeth Leal, TREC Commissioner, she let us know that there  <em>&#8220;are more Broker applications than salesman.   We are down about 37% in Original Applications over the same period a year ago.  Renewals are down, though that is no surprise.   Total Brokers and Salesmen licensees at this point are 147,344 as compared to 152,884 a year ago (Dec.)   Inspectors have also dropped, having had 4,293 licensed last December, down to 3,845 this December.   (That is a drop of 448.  I learned that the Investor Recovery Fund has a limit on the amount it may keep.  At the end of the year, $37,721 was returned to the Texas General Fund as they may only keep $300,000 in the account.   The Real Estate Recovery Fund is a different animal.  Our maximum, according to Karen Alexander, our Finance Director, is 3.5 million OR the greater of the total paid out in claims for the last 4 years.   Since that amount is only 1.7 million, we are in good shape.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>So, there are fewer real estate agents and inspectors in Texas in 2009 than there were in 2008. </strong><strong>Is anyone surprised?</strong></p>
<p>Do you think there are fewer agents in Bryan or College Station real estate? Do you think this will affect the real estate industry?  Do foreclosures have anything to do with it? If so, HOW?</p>
