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.

Selling Your Home >Getting Ready To Sell
Here is a scenario that you may encounter when you sell your home. You make a listing appointment with a real estate agent who shows up with a detailed market analysis and a list of all the advantages of listing with his or her company. The agent then walks through your home with you, making suggestions about how you can present your home at its best.
The real estate agent's recommendations about cosmetic "fix-ups" make some sellers feel a little uncomfortable. They realize how long they have put off all of those "little" projects. If the suggestions about the cat box, spider webs, kitchen and bathroom cleanup, and removal of clutter make you feel a little defensive, remember that none of this is personal! Most sellers need a little coaching to make their homes show well. Providing suggestions for home staging is an important part of an agents job. The better your home looks while it's on the market, the more likely it is to sell quickly, and for top dollar.
