What Our Clients Have To Say!
"Our Client Satisfaction Is Our Number One Priority"
Nothing illustrates this better than the increasing amount of repeat and referral business Doug and Mary have experienced since the beginning of their real estate careers. "We specialize in luxury homes, waterfront & lake view communities, golf club communities, ranch properties and new home development." Doug and Mary Land are Flintrock Falls residents and active in the community. Their faces are well known throughout the Austin area as well as their reputation for being honest and knowledgeable. Their easy-going style puts both buyers and sellers at ease with emotional real estate decisions. One satisfied client said, "The reason I chose Doug and Mary over the other REALTORSŪ I interviewed was the fact that I felt they actually cared for me and my house and were not just interested in the listing/sale." Another client called them the Austin Area "REALTORSŪ of Choice."
Buying Land and New Construction >Buying New or Buying Old
New homes typically have a higher sales price than comparable existing homes, and buyers are usually willing to spend more on a new home because of lower maintenance costs. Builders' warranties on new homes, when combined with a new roof, appliances, and major systems, usually make major repairs unnecessary and help to counter a slower initial rate of appreciation.
Census Bureau Housing Surveys suggests that operating costs are lowest for brand new homes and slightly higher for relatively new existing homes. Operating costs per square foot of living space are consistently higher for progressively older existing homes. Utility costs represent the largest factor in operating costs. Energy consumption per square foot depends on the size of the home, the insulation and quality of the windows, air leakage and the efficiency of the furnace.
New homes require fewer expenditures for routine maintenance. The cost of maintenance first increases with age, then declines, so you will generally spend less maintaining a home built before 1960 than for a home built between 1970 and 1975.
