About the Katy, Texas Area In the beginning the Katy prairie was wide open. It was a hunting ground for indian tribes, feeding grounds for buffalo, longhorn cattle and winter time wild ducks & geese. In 1875 there was only 1 family, no railroad and no Katy, Texas. In 1895 more farmers started to call this area home. Why? There was plenty of land to farm and the Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad was then completed. The railroad made this area easier to get to and easier for the farmers to get thier product to the markets. The city of Katy was named for the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, The MKT, which then became the KT. In 1896 Katy was first listed in Washington, D.C. as having a post office. During 1900 a hurrican, 'The Storm', destroyed most of the city. In 1918 children from the small farm schools were brought together in Katy to start the Katy Independent School District. At this time the main industry was rice farming. In 1934 a gas field was discovered west of town. The next thing you know, Katy was on 'The Map'. The population within the city limits of Katy, Texas is around 8,000. The surrounding Katy area rival the population of some major cities.

About Appraisals >Working With A Real Estate Agent
It is not unusual for homeowners to yield to the temptation to try to sell their own home. It seems easy enough--just place an ad in the weekend paper and wait for buyers to show up. Although it may seem simple, real estate sales transactions are extremely complex proceedings.
The first pitfall can come with pricing your property realistically. Homeowners often price their property too high initially, then drastically slash the price when weeks go buy without an offer. Even if a prospective buyer agrees to the initial asking price, there could be complications if the buyers begin to feel that they have agreed to pay too much, or if the lender's appraisal values the property at far less than the agreed-upon price. Some clients hire agents to market their home professionally after weeks or months of trying to sell their own home without success, or after their FSBO transaction fell through.
