Soliciting in the Bryan, College Station area can pose as a threat to community members.

Parents long to see their child succeed out in the real world without mom and dad there […]

Driving through the twin cities a couple weeks ago, Bryan and College Station, it was not unlikely that you ran upon a lemonade stand or two. These small makeshift stands littered the city and were stationed upon many street corners and in front of numerous bigger businesses. Star wars characters greeted some customers, while enthused young girls in yellow shirts and bows sold lemonade to others. There were kids who chose to blow bubbles to […]

As my family drove back from Colorado to College Station over spring break, and we entered the great state of Texas, we were reminded just how beautiful the fields are with colorful, wild flowers and especially the Texas Bluebonnets. My youngest son asks, “How did bluebonnets begin?” “Why do the bluebonnets always grow along the sides of the highway?” Well this did not stop my son here, this lead my family on a search of […]

The saying that Bryan/College Station is in a bubble is pretty true to an extent. While the rest of the country has high unemployment rates, lower retail sales, and a housing crunch, Bryan/College Station is an area that trends better than a majority of the country! I have sold more homes this year than I did last year, so I know that we aren’t hurting too bad in B/CS! Unfortunately a lot of times we […]
