December enewsletter update here http://karensherrill.housingtrendsenewsletter.com
Christmas is just days away and I know Real Estate is probably the furthest thing from your mind. I did want to take the opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and to give you some ideas regarding Real Estate and your home for the New Year.
The Texas Appliance Rebate program is back up and running. This might be the perfect opportunity for you to upgrade your appliances to ones that are more energy efficient. My family took advantage of this program last year installing an energy efficient Heating and Air Conditioning unit. Not only has it already saved us money monthly, the comfort level is amazing compared to many sticky years past. Receiving a check in the mail wasn’t bad either! Last year’s program was tedious, frustrating and problematic – this year, I am told, the bugs have been worked out. It is first come first serve so don’t miss out. http://www.texaspowerfulsmart.org/rebate/ for more details
Thinking of selling or know someone who is?
From now until the end of January, I am offering a 1% discount on my sales commission should you (or someone you know and forward this email to) sign a listing contract with me for the sale your home before January 31, 2011. Depending on the price of your home this could equal thousands of dollars. While some agents will discount their commission – they often will also “discount” the service they provide. Any sellers taking advantage of this offer will receive my full attention and marketing plan. Be sure to mention this blog when initiating any conversations with me to receive this discount.
Interested in buying this year?
I am also pleased to announce that I have completed classes to become a Texas Affordable Housing Specialist. There are some excellent programs available to Texans that continue to make home ownership affordable.
On a separate note, I also want to invite you to hear my husband and I speak this Sunday, December 26th at 10 a.m. for a family service entitled “Not on a Christmas Card” at Gateway Community Church.
Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with or questions I can answer. In the meantime – Merry Christmas!
