I have been preaching against 7 of these for years. Top 10 biggest regrets from 200 new home buyers —
10. Split vanities in owner’s bath.
9. Open Floor Plan
8. Extremely high ceilings.
7. Barn Doors.
6. Hollow Core Doors.
5. TV above fireplace.
4. Microwave over stove.
3. Jack & Jill baths.
2. Free standing tubs.
1. Pot fillers

Happy to tell you why.

The story of 'this' horse running this' race should encourage us all to never give up...even if you think you can't do it, even if people say you can't do it and don't believe in you! Never give up! 😊🦄🙏

Wow, what an incredible race!!
Wow, what an incredible ride!!!

🏆 Rich Strike wins $1.86Million.
🏆 Entered the race yesterday 30 seconds before the deadline.
🏆 Only got in the race because the 20th horse had to scratch yesterday.
🏆 Started from the worst post position on the outside of the track.
🏆 Had to make his way through the field of 19 other horses from the back.
🏆 His race career; 7 starts, one win.
🏆 His jockey, Sonny Leon, had never been to the Kentucky Derby.
🏆 His trainer, Eric Reed, has never raced a horse in the Kentucky Derby.
🏆 Eric Reed tragically lost nearly two dozen race horses in a barn fire a few years ago and struggled with quitting.
🏆 Eric Reed lost his two assistant trainers last year to cancer.
🏆 Rich Strike was purchased in a claiming race last fall for only $30,000.
🏆 80-1 odds.

This horse had no idea he was a long shot. He had no idea that he was entered last minute, because another horse scratched. He had no idea that his trainer and jockey had never won the Kentucky Derby. So he ran…and WON! He even had enough left after a mile and a quarter to give hell to the pony horse! Congratulations to Rich Strike and all of his connections 🔥🦄🔥

Rich Strike wins the 148th Kentucky Derby!!

What an incredible success story!!!
Never give up on your dreams!!!

These charts show what most of us already knew — Austin has the lowest inventory of homes in the 4 Texas metros.

Big FYI — I know everyone says to read the fine print in a contract. Here is one instance when you definitely want/need to. If you or as a realtor, your client wants a new or custom built home, you will find that each builder uses their own contracts and not those promulgated for TREC or similar. Some builders may include a NDC in the fine print. NDCs, or non-disparagement clauses, are a type of “gag order,” barring a buyer from saying or posting disparaging remarks. This could be a red flag, or at the very least warrant a discussion. I see both sides of this debate.

I have this going into a kitchen remodel I am designing! Live edge is not just for rustic cabins. A live edge slab maintains the natural beauty of the forest by preserving the tree in its circumferential entirety with the outer corners of the visible tree trunk. According to the name, live edge, the Native Spirit of the wood is kept “alive” and the edges of the tree are left untouched.
