The answers to three questions will
determine your success or failure. 1) Can people trust me to do my
best? 2) Am I committed to the task at hand? 3) Do I care about other
people and show it? If the answers are yes, there is no way you can
fail. Lou Holtz, College Football Coach
According to the quote above, I have
always been a "yes" man. Many people call me a people pleaser, and I'm OK with
that. This way of life has spilled over into my business and has enabled me to
be a multi-million, top producing agent.
You've got to believe deep inside
yourself that you're destined to do great things. Joe Paterno, College
Football Coach
There is a difference between arrogance
and confidence. I have always believed that I would be more than average. I did
not want to be the average basketball coach or run the average company. I
wanted to be the best. I have applied that belief into my real estate business.
If that means that I have to go the extra mile, than the "average agent", then
that is what I will do.
Success comes in cans, not in
cannots. John Ralston, NFL Coach
When I started in real estate I was told
that 80% of new real estate agents would quit the business in less than a year.
After hearing this and getting my real estate license I moved my family back to
Katy, Texas, bought a home, put my faith in God and myself and rolled up my
sleeves. You know what? I'm still standing and my sleeves are still rolled
up.
There is no twilight zone of
honesty--a thing is right or it's wrong-it's black or it's white. John F.
Dodge, American Manufacturer
In 1975 my family moved from Houston out
to Cypress, Texas. Then, there was nothing and I mean nothing there. I remember
driving with my mom all the way to Tomball, just get groceries. Man, have times
changed. My parents still live there today, and that is where I learned the
importance of honesty, your word, doing what you said you were going to do and
treating people the right way.
The difference between the possible
and the impossible lies in the man's determination. Tommy Lasorda, Major
League Baseball Manager
After graduating from Cy-Fair High School
I enrolled at the world renowned Texas A&M University (Whoop!). This was a
shock to my system. High school was always easy for me, I thought college would
be the same. No longer was I able to study the night before an exam and easily
pass. I was letting down my parents who were gracious enough to be paying for
my education. I then became determined not to fail and go home. Guess what? I
squeezed four years into five and graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree
in Psychology and my teaching certificate. Next stop Katy,
Texas!
Ingenuity, plus courage, plus work,
equals miracles. Bob Richards, Two Time Olympic Gold Medalist
After college I was on my own with
responsibility, paying my own bills and having an alarm clock. I got a job
teaching and coaching in the Katy Independent School District. At that time
there were only five junior high schools in the district, again, man, have
times changed. What a great time! I met my wonderful wife, Amy, and got
married. My basketball teams won two district championships in four years, and
we never had a losing season. Next stop Dallas, Texas.
Some men see things as they are and
say, "Why?" I dream things that never were and say, "Why not?" George
Bernard Shaw, Irish Dramatist
In the summer of 1997 I was offered a job
of running a moving and storage company in Dallas, Texas. I knew nothing about
Dallas and less about the moving industry. However, my wife and I saw this as
chance to grow in faith and another challenge to overcome. We went for it! For
three years we worked, laughed, cried and grew. We also got to work with our
very first real estate agent, Vicki Crow. I thought, "She has a cool job, and I
wouldn't mind doing that one day". Later our son Cameron was born, and it was
back to Katy, Texas to start my career in real estate and be closer to our
families!

You have to have faith in God and
faith in yourself if you want others to have faith in you. Ron Turcotte,
Professional Jockey
I'm a Christian and Proud of it! In 1995
the greatest and single most important thing in my life happened. I accepted
Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. Without Him none of this would be
possible. He is the reason behind all of my success. He has blessed me in so
many ways: great parents, a beautiful and supportive wife, two wonderful and
healthy children and a successful business. I am so thankful and grateful for
His Provision, Grace and Mercy!
I'm a firm believer in the theory
that people only do their best at things they truly enjoy. Jack Nicklaus,
Professional Golfer
I really do love my job and
can see myself doing this until there are not any more houses to sell. Outside
of the daily challenge of providing for my family, I love meeting new people
everyday and working with them to achieve their goals.
 "When I grow up I want to be a real estate
agent just like my Daddy. Until then, he'll be taking my calls." - Baby

Even if you're on the right track,
you'll get run over if you just sit there. Will Rogers,
Actor/Lecturer/Humorist
Real Estate is a very competitive
business. I can't sit around and wait for the phone to ring--I have to make it
ring. That's what my clients expect and that's what they get. This website is
only one way that I give my clients what they deserve.

Investment Real Estate >Selling Rental Properties
Marketing a rental property presents some special challenges. Owners will probably want to offer the house for sale while tenants are still living there so that the property continues to bring in income. However, most real estate agents prefer that their listings either be occupied by the owner or empty. Tenant-occupied homes are often the most difficult to sell since the tenants may not share the same pride of ownership. They may not be eager for the property to sell, and as a result, the house is not shown to its best advantage.
When you put a tenant-occupied house on the market, it is important that you enlist the tenants in the effort to get your house sold. Talk to the tenants first to see if they have a desire and ability to buy the house. If they are not interested in buying, work out with them the ground rules for access to the house. In most cases, the new owners will want the tenants to move, and it will be important to work out alternate living arrangements with them. In each situation, work hard to create a spirit of cooperation with the tenants.
