Lake Travis Vacation Homes get National Exposure
Austin and Lake Travis enjoyed the national spotlight when The Travel Channel aired an episode of Vacation Home Search, featuring waterfront homes on Lake Travis. The Travel Channel chose Austin for its growing national reputation for a healthy economy, vibrant social scene and picturesque scenery, and cited Lake Travis as one of the most popular outdoor recreation areas in Texas.
 The Travel Channel chose Mick to host the film crew from Authentic Entertainment because of his expertise in Lake Travis real estate. Mick routinely tours waterfront properties with clients in "The Office", his 43-foot yacht. This unique insider's tour of the lake often includes cruising through Devil's Cove and wraps up with dinner or cocktails at a boat-up restaurant. This unique aspect of Mick's real estate practice caught the attention of The Travel Channel.

Accepting An Offer >Offers and Counter Offers
Many of the offers real agents submit for prospective buyers aren't exactly what the sellers want. The price may be lower than they are asking or there might be terms included in the offer that will require negotiation. What happens after the offer is submitted?
The seller's real estate agent will present the offer to the sellers, along with the buyer's qualifications. If the sellers accept the offer, then a purchase agreement is written and signed by both parties. If the sellers counter the offer, the next action is initiated by the buyers when they make a response, either accepting the counter offer or countering it with yet another figure. If you want to buy a particular house, your chances of succeeding are greater if your initial offer is as close to the asking price as possible. You could save money by engaging in lengthy negotiations, but you run the risk of losing the home if a more attractive offer comes in from another buyer.
