 How much is your property worth? We will be happy to provide free of charge a Comparative Market Analysis delivered to your email box or your front door. We use the same methods that the appraisers use. We can give you a very accurate and realistic portrait of your home's value. We take into account recent mortgage issues, subdivision days on the market as well as the condition of the home. If you've owned for longer than 2 years, you might be surprised how much it's risen in value lately.
Things to look out for: The majority of listing agents are newly licensed rookies and your house is their first deal! It drives me nuts to see how other listing agents flagrantly misrepresent the home you own either by poor advertising, incorrect MLS information or - and here's what knocks me out - they've never been to your property! Their "assistant" did the listing! Who are you paying, the assistant or the Realtor? Please read our guide on Listing Your House or Rental for Sale Ask yourself, "Did your last agent...." (actual mistakes we've seen on the MLS!) list your house as being in a flood plain when it wasn't!? list your house as a condo, when it was really a house!? list your property as a foreclosure when it wasn't!? put the wrong number of bedrooms on the listing?
We have helped close hundreds of properties by tapping into this pool. We will help your house sell fast and slightly above market value in many cases. If your home is in reasonably good shape and you allow us to list it for a reasonable price according to recent sales of similar properties, we'll be happy to accept lower fees to help sell your house. See a comparison below: 5% total Realtor fees | Seller's estimated cash at closing from "the other guys" who charge 6% | Seller's estimated cash at closing with the Texas Equity Alliance Team | Home Sales Price: | $200,000 | $200,000 | | Loan Payoff: | $150,000 | $150,000 | | Buyer's Agent Fee | 3%, $6000 | 3%, $6000 | | Listing Agent Fee | 3%, $6000 | 2%, $4000 | | Estimated Closing Costs | 1%, $2000 | 1%, $2000 | | TOTALS: | $36,000 | $38,000 | | | a difference of $2000 or more in your pocket! |
Our track record speaks for itself. In 2005 and again in 2006 we helped secure nearly 10% of all duplex and fourplex investment purchases in Austin. In 2008 we continue to do amazingly well despite the mortgage slump because Investor buyers generally have excellent credit and a large down payment anyway!  One of the most important changes in buying and selling real estate in the 21st century is the development of the Internet. As of 2008, over 70% of home buyers shopped for homes online before stepping one foot outside to look around. If you don't have a powerful web presence, your house will stay on the market longer - it's that simple. Our web presence is so good, we show up on the 1st page of results in Yahoo and Google when searching for "Austin Investment Property". Our site gets daily compliments from people ready to buy in Austin. We get your home's information onto this list of sites (and many more!):
Realtor.com Craigslist Backpage (this is paid, around $10 an ad, we cover the cost!) Austin Chronicle (this is a paid ad, around $50, we cover the cost depending on the property type -- some properties don't perform well here, some do!) Trulia Google Oodle Yahoo! New York Times Point2Homes ... too many to mention
For Rental properties we handle all issues with the management company and the tenants, you don't have to do a thing except let your manager know ahead of time that we will be listing the property. We will keep the impact of agent traffic on your tenant's low so as to not upset them, but some folks have to get inside, so please if you can let your tenant's know ahead of time that you will be selling the property. For single family homes and condos, we will hold open houses and put flyers out as often as we can. We will come by to run the water and check on the condition of the property if it is vacant. We can schedule any maintenance that is required as well. Just hand us the keys and we will take care of everything! Just give us a little information about your house and we'll get make your goals our own!

What a hot spot to grow and make some good cashflow at the same time. Cameron road near the Walnut creek business park, where lots of growth and oddly enough the property tax office resides. Nykee and Aaron have an experienced investor who has seen the potential in this low price, but low maintenance money-pump.
