YOUR BEST RESOURCE FOR AUSTIN METROPOLITAN AREA PROPERTIES

My motto is epitomized by the name of my company, which means (in Latin):

 "You are on firm ground with me."

If we have not met and/or I have not provided you with Information on Brokerage Services, please click on the button to the left for a copy. This document explains how I conform to laws governing my obligation to my clients. Long before this obligation was codified into law, I followed the concepts of full dedication to my fidicuary obligation to my clients.

GOOD NEWS

********************************************

This site was created for your benefit and with you in mind. Much of what you find here exists because of the express wishes of my clients. If you would like to suggest ways in which I can make it easier for you to navigate this site; or if there are features you would like to see incorporated--please let me know.   I have discovered that the search function clients set up for themselves was resulting in properties that had been sold for as long as a year previously.  Please allow me to set up with your search for you--as the results will be more accurate and timely. Minutes after an agent puts in a listing or changes the price, it will be in your mailbox.

I am a member of the National Association of Realtors, Texas Association of Realtors and the Austin Board of Realtors and its multiple listing service. (MLS)

For most people, buying or selling property constitutes the single largest financial transaction of their lives; and should not be taken lightly by anyone connected to their purchase or sale.

I have produced happy buyers, happy sellers, and happy renters since 1966 in West Texas; the DFW area and the Austin area.

BUYERS

If you are a buyer, I want your experience to be a happy, stress-free one.

Rather than being lost in a vast corporation, endlessly pushing buttons and leaving countess messages; you reach me directly--by telephone or email. You will not be turned over to an "assistant" as soon as you have signed papers. I will personally walk you through every step of the process.

I have access to approximately 11,700 properties, including single family homes, townhouses, condos and garden homes. I will search for duplex, triplex, quadruplex and other multifamily properties for you. 

I scour the huge inventory of Builders' properties for new construction; and I comb the highways and byways of Travis, Williamson, Bastrop, Hays and Burnet counties to find the very best buys for you. I am very familiar with all areas of Austin, Pflugerville, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Liberty Hill, Hutto, Taylor, Lakeway, Bastrop, Buda, Lago Vista, Liberty Hill, Spicewood and more; having worked this area since 1983.

Whether your heart's desire is for a home, investment property, acreage, commercial property or building, or just a lot, I can help you. Want new construction, a vintage home; the bargain of a foreclosure; or a fixer-upper? Need a rental right now? I can find it! Prefer a water-front or golf-course property? Or maybe a rental or commercial property is on your want-list. 

If you need acreage for your horses, goats, sheep or llamas--or just your kids--I know where to look.

I understand that as a buyer, you want to make the best possible choice that suits your criteria. I will utilize the convenience of technology along with old-fashioned leg work to make sure you achieve that goal. You'll love the resources available on my website and the email alerts that I send, but these will never replace the time I spend with you, I will be serving as your personal guide through this exciting process.

I MAINTAIN an updated list of foreclosures and update the list often (check button on left) to help you make the most informed bid possible.

Want to know about schools? I have provided links to school districts and ratings by clicking at the button to the left of this message.

My years of experience and my attention to detail along with taking the best possible approach to marketing your property pays off!

SELLERS:

If your goal is to walk away from the closing table with a minimum of stress and the highest net to you, please interview me before placing your property on the market. Many agents do Comparable Market Analysis. I go far beyond a basic CMA report in order to do an integrated financial workup that you need to make better-informed choices about a selling price. Click on the "Testimonials" button to see what other sellers have to say about me. I am also a State Certified Residential Appraiser.

Unless I am working for someone like you--I AM UNEMPLOYED. You are under no obligation if you interview me for the job of giving you the best service available. Selling real estate has never been more stress-free. Click on the "Looking to Sell?" button on the right; and I will answer all your questions promptly.

If you have difficulty with any portion of this site, please let me know. I am here to help.

2009 was a great year. Because several clients trusted me to help them find the best buys available, I have been able to donate enough to help 14 children with cleft lip and palates have surgery to correct their condition. The doctors involved with Smile Train donate their time and services to make this possible for children who would never have the opportunity to lead normal lives. For more information on this very worthy cause go to:

Let's get together and talk about your home buying and/or selling plans. Call me at the office 512-990-5825 or cell 512-417-4421 or send me an email (terrafirmarebroker@gmail.com); and I'll set up a time that is easy and convenient for you. All inquiries received are answered promptly.

P.S. If you're not ready to meet in person, please enjoy your tour through my website. I'm sure you'll find the resources here useful and helpful. Enjoy!
