So many of us take for granted the fact that we possess the ability to run or walk.  More than that, we take for granted that we actually have shoes on our feet and more to spare at home.  This is not always the case for underprivileged children right here in our Bryan-College Station community.  The BCS Regional Associaton of REALTORS® wants that to change.  That is why they are hosting the  2015 College Station Realtors Run/Walk With Pride on Saturday, April 11th.

Purchasing a home is one of the most important investments you will ever make! Home maintenance is key to helping that investment go a long way. One of the benefits of maintaining the health of your home is that it might help you save lots of money in the long run. Small problems that originally would have only cost you a couple of bucks and a few minutes to fix can easily rack over to over thousands of dollars in repairs. 

Everyone who lives in your home can be affected by the condition of your home, especially if there are major health hazards. Maintaining your home can provide a healthy environment for your family. An effective way to keep your home in great condition is with daily, quarterly, and

On Saturday April 11th, the 17th Annual Bryan/College Station Regional Association of REALTORS 5k Fun Run/Walk is taking place at Wolf Pen Creek, located at 1015 Colgate Drive in College Station. The run is held to help Payless Shoes gain funds, in order to gift children in need with shoes for school.  If you love running, then this fundraiser is for you.

Sometimes we can become so accustomed to necessities, that we forget how privileged we are to have them.  Can you imagine having to worry about going to school barefoot? As a community, we should not become complacent of the needs of children less fortunate than ours.  The 17th Annual Fun Run is a time for the community to gather together and help our neighbors who are less fortunate.

Hiring the wrong contractor for a job can cost you time, money and grief if you haven’t done your research or asked him the right questions. Here are five important questions to ask a contractor before hiring them.
 

1. How long have you worked in this industry?

Experience and the amount of jobs completed are important factors to consider when hiring a contractor. A contractor that has quite a few years of experience under his belt will have a network of subcontractors, suppliers and a local reputation to uphold. Also, if they have kept their business in your local area for that amount of time, then it is a safer bet than hiring someone who will have to commute from 40 miles away.

 

2. Are you
