College Station smartest city in Texas!

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!

Have you been by Olson Field at Blue Ball Park recently?

Opening day of the 2012 Texas A&M baseball season is just over three and a half months away and I can hardly  wait.  I know it will be 40’s with the wind blowing out of the north and it will feel colder than that but that is what it’s suppose to be on opening day. If you have not had the opportunity to drive by Olson Field at Blue Bell Park recently things are coming along with the construction.  It had been a while since I was there so I drove by last Saturday morning to check things out.  Check out the video below to see what I saw.  Click for more information about Aggie Baseball. Have a great day and if you have any real estate questions please give me a call at 979-229-9911. Jack Anding Broker Associate Century 21 Beal, Inc.

Bryan/College Station Up and Coming Entrepreneurs!

I love selling homes in Bryan/College Station and all of the amazing things I get to do because of it!  My daughter goes to school at Forest Ridge Elementary in College Station, and I was contacted by her GT teacher, Patty Chenault,  who asked me if I would be willing to use my marketing expertise and be "hired" as a marketing consultant for the business they were creating!  The children were starting a business from the ground up to see what all it takes to be a business owner!  They met with Trey Hickman with Spirit of Texas Bank who explained to them about business loans, and then they asked for my marketing expertise to help them get the word out.  My initial reaction was wow, what an amazing teacher to take on such a feat!  Mrs. Chenault really wanted these children to learn every facet of owning a business, something a lot of us would have loved to have learned about at the age of 8 or even 28!  She thought of everything from taste tests to signage to having her husband, owner of CGM homes,  make an adorable portable lemonade stand!  I told her that I would love to work with...
