Can Realtors help buyers with FSBO properties?
August 18th, 2008 categories: Community Events
Can a Realtor help a buyer client purchase a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) property? You bet!
Even though some sellers might choose to limit the marketing for their homes and make sure qualified buyers will never know they are for sale, that does not eliminate my responsibility to know my market and what is available.
Sometimes I will introduce buyer clients to FSBO homes as well as homes listed in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). In fact, I could tell you right now about three residential lots that are for sale by owner very near the Texas A&M University campus. But you’ll have to Read the rest of this entry »

Texas World Speedway in College Station
August 18th, 2008 categories: Community Events
College Station is absolutely packed full of exciting things to do.
One of the top things to do in College Station on my list is to try to make a Motorcycle Track day at Texas World Speedway. Willing speedsters can sign up for 3 levels of “classes” that allow participants to run “all out” on one of the best racetracks in the country. Lone star Track Days is one of the more popular hosts.
Similar activities are available for cars and even those cool Go cart things called Karts.
According to Texas World Speedway’s Site:
“The historic Texas World Speedway is most established premier road Motorsports venue for Racing, Testing, Driving Schools, Corporate Events, and Film Shoots in the Southwest.
TWS is one of only seven Super Speedways in the USA and is the only Super Speedway in the Southwest. TWS’s oval became known as “The World’s Fastest Speedway”; when Mario Andretti set a world closed course speed record of 214.158 mph on October 6, 1973 while qualifying for an Indy car race.
TWS is located on approximately 400 acres with direct access to Highway 6 south of College Station, Texas. In addition to the two mile “D” shaped oval with 22 degree banking turns with 8 degree banking in the front of the grandstands, TWS is a road racers speedway with a 1.8, 1.9 and 2.9 mile high speed road courses.”
