Austin's booming real estate market has been in the news a lot lately, and there is ample evidence that the city itself is growing by leaps and bounds, but why? What siren song is leading people to abandon their home states and move to the Capital of the Lone Star State?

If you Want to Sell Your House, Make it Easy for Buyers to See It
Jason Crouch 10 years ago

Truthfully, the title of this post is good advice by itself, but I wanted to take a minute to explain some common mistakes I've seen sellers make. I strive to keep my own clients from making these errors, of course. First and foremost, I always advise my clients who are selling to try to allow every single showing if at all possible.
