College Station smartest city in Texas!
November 29th, 2011 categories: Buying Real Estate, Community Events, Kids, Family & Personal Stuff, Market Trends, Selling Real Estate, Texas A&M University, The Realtor's Life
As an Aggie Realtor who works with clients all over the US, I constantly hear Aggie jokes, but who is laughing now? We always talk about how we live in a bubble here in College Station, but did you know that bubble was filled with the smartest people in Texas? The City of College Station is ranked by The Business Journals as the brainiest city in Texas among those with populations between 50,000 and 100,000. Some 28 percent of College Station residents hold a bachelor’s degree and another 28.23 percent have a graduate or professional degree. A lot of this has to do with Texas A&M faculty as well as so many Aggies staying here after graduation! The Business Journals ranked 483 mid-sized U.S. cities using 2009 U.S. Census Data. The rankings were based on the percentage of population with each level of educational attainment. Not only were we #1 in Texas, but College Station ranked No. 31 nationally. So, next time someone makes an Aggie joke, make sure and let them know that they are actually making fun of the smartest city in all of Texas!| Discussion: Your Comments Please »

When I am out there showing properties in Bryan/College Station, I hear tons of rumors and ideas about growth in our community. Lately there have been many rumors about what is going on towards the back of Castlegate in south College Station. Since I sell a lot of homes in south College Station as well as living there myself, I wanted to get the real scoop so I could be knowledgeable when my clients ask me about what is going on in Castlegate. I went straight to the horses' mouths, and interviewed Wallace and Dusty Phillips of Castlegate Communities to find out more about the new development!

New Home Inspection Technology in Bryan/College Station
November 3rd, 2011 categories: Home Improvement & Design, Market Trends, Real Estate News, Selling Real Estate, The Realtor's Life
Today I learned something new concerning home inspections. Clifton Cobbs of Sun Star Real Estate Inspections trained myself and some other Century 21, Beal agents about a new technology for home inspections using infared devices. These infared inspections can detect areas where air is penetrating a home or leaking out of a home as well as water detection in walls, ceilings, or floors. Watch the video to learn more and see a demonstration, or for more information on infared inspections, call Clifton at 832-594-0281 [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX7uEZMaNLo[/youtube] For this and all real estate tips, call me, Farrah Spears at 979-229-0919| Discussion: 1 Comment »
