Are There REALLY Moving Expenses Too?
February 25th, 2010 Categories: Buying Real Estate
Moving can be an incredibly stressful and expensive ordeal even in College Station, Tx. There are a ton of big and small expenses that sometimes add up to something unwieldy; the amount of labor involved is immense and tiring; there are so many things to keep track of, schedule, and reorganize– it’s easy for something to be overlooked.
After the obvious cost of buying a home, most people who are planning a move know they usually have to pay for a moving company or a rental truck. However, a lot of the other expenses are often forgotten; this, of course, can be a troubling obstacle if you haven’t included these expenses into your budget. If all the factors aren’t considered, there is a possibility of encountering a road block during your move.
One of the most important things to think about when moving is the difference in your cost of living. If you are moving to a new city or state, it is important to Read the rest of this entry »

Asbestos in College Station Homes?
February 2nd, 2010 Categories: Buying Real Estate
At the request fo Jesse Herman, Awareness Coordinator at the Mesothelioma Cancer Center, I’m posting this blog about asbestos and potential GREEN ways to insulate your home.
“As you may know, homes built before 1980 likely have asbestos insulation in them. When homeowners remodel, they may expose themselves to asbestos, which could lead to a fatal cancer known as mesothelioma. There are many environmentally sustainable, healthy and GREEN ways to insulate your home and this is among the topics we like to discuss.” Jesse Herman

Rhonda Fry Provides Exceptional Real Estate Service in the Brazos Valley
September 24th, 2009 Categories: Award News, Buying Real Estate
Rhonda Fry’s clients said…
“When we first considered making the move from our existing home to a new one, we were in need of a real estate agent. One of the Realtors we called was Rhonda Fry.
Rhonda was willing to meet us after our work day and show us a home we were wanting to see. After looking at that first home, we were eager to see more. We continued to look at other homes and began discussions with Rhonda for listing our own home to sell. Rhonda made the process simple and easy by meeting us at our house, again after our work day, and discussing options and the process. In no time at all, our home was listed and our first open house was underway. Rhonda continued to hold Realtor tours and open houses both during the week and on the weekends. Anytime our home was shown, she would follow up with those appointments and provide us with feedback. She would even help us with showings by providing food, drink, and even assisting with our dog.
We continued to look at homes for 2 months and eventually Read the rest of this entry »

Why Purchase a Home in College Station or Bryan?
July 16th, 2009 Categories: Buying Real Estate
Ever wondered why we should purchase homes in College Station and Bryan rather than rent? Is there really a benefit to purchasing?
I think there are a couple things to consider when deciding -
- Financial
- Stability
Financial -
We all know that purchasing a home can be an investment for the future. At least when purchasing, the monthly payment is applying to something you will own at the end rather than something someone else will own. Normally homes increase in value (they are continuing to increase in the Bryan/College Station area even though other parts of the country are NOT having the appreciation we have). So, your investment should be worth more than you paid for it many years later. If your home doesn’t go up in value (appreciate) remember you will have “Forced Savings” (your monthly payment) that helps pay down the balance due on the home loan.
Each month you make your house payment you are reducing the amount owed on the home (if not, call me and I’ll put you in touch with a lender who can make this happen!). When you pay rent you are paying someone else’s house payment for them. You are making THEIR investment Read the rest of this entry »
