Let Me Personally Search for a Home, Condo, Townhome or Lot that Matches Your Criteria, for Free and Without Obligation. 
You know, usually when I'm shopping, I want to just browse around and check out the inventory before ever talking to a salesperson. I don't want to feel hassled or rushed. Buying a home is kind of like that... that's why more than 70% of home buyers turn first to the Internet before they ever pick up a phone to call a Realtor.
It's a great way to get started, but it can also be a bit overwhelmong, and you never really get ALL of the information you'd like about a property. At some point along the way, you do need the help of a professional Realtor.
I'd like to help you out in the initial stages. I can do custom property searches for you, matching DETAILED search criteria (more criteria than you can enter in national search databases), and e-mail you links to properties that might work for you. The e-mail links include photos, descriptions, addresses and driving directions! Spend a couple weekends doing "drive-bys" of the properties that are most interesting to you... by yourself, if you'd like, with no pressure from me!
When you are ready to see some of your favorite homes in person, I'll be here. In the meantime, we can correspond occasionally by e-mail, all at your pace. This is a totally FREE service and you are under no obligation to me. I promise you won't find any high-pressure sale tactics here - just GREAT service!   |  | | |
As a top Lake Travis Realtor, I make it my business to be aware of every local home or property on the market. I even know of properties that will be available, but have yet to formally be placed on the market.
I have direct access to the Austin MLS (covering Lake Travis, Lakeway Lago Vista, Point Venture, Volente, Jonestown, Spicewood, Briarcliff and Marble Falls) and also to every other agent in the area and all of their listings.
If you give me some idea of what you are looking for, I will personally review all my sources of real estate listing information and send you everything within your price range that matches your criteria. I can save you a great deal of time! This is a totally free service, and there is no obligation. It's part of my job to offer services like this to homebuyers.
For even more, sign up for my V.I.P. Buyer Service and receive your own, personal website to track waterfront listings!
With this service, I'll set you up with a personalized, custom website where you can keep track of the currently available lakefront homes. You'll receive an email notification whenever a new property hits the market (or an existing listing is reduced in price), and that property will automatically be added to your website.
With your personal website, you can categorize homes as favorites, possibilities, and rejects, and add comments to any property. I can also add Agent Comments, so you'll know my personal opinion on the pros and cons of any particular home.
When a home goes under contract, it will be automatically removed from your website. So, you'll always be on top of things, with up-to-the-minute knowledge of what's available and you'll have first dibs on the perfect home when it comes around!
To get your own website, email me (or fill out the form below) with your specific search criteria - price range, preferred location(s), waterfront versus lake view, square footage requirements, etc. - the more details, the better!

Disclosure Laws >Read the Fine Print
Many states require the seller of a home to fill out a real estate disclosure statement when transferring the title. The disclosure is designed to reveal any material defects in the home to the new owner. When buying a home, take the time to read the fine print of the disclosure form.
Look for a section that asks the seller to indicate the material defects that exist in the home's major systems. Most forms will specify interior and exterior walls, ceilings, roof, insulation, windows, fences, driveway, sidewalks, floors, doors, foundation, and the electrical and plumbing systems. As the buyer you will want to know of defects in any of these areas.
Sellers are required to note the presence of environmental hazards or zoning violations. They must disclose if there are any encroachments or easements, or walls or fences shared with adjoining landowners. Room additions or repairs made without the necessary permits or not in compliance with building codes must be noted. Sellers must disclose citations or lawsuits against the property. If any such conditions appear on the disclosure form, consult with your real estate agent immediately regarding how to proceed with negotiation.
