Castlegate II opening in South College Station
November 15th, 2011 Categories: Community Events, Family, Home Improvement & Design, Market Trends, News, The Realtor's Life
When I am out there showing properties in Bryan/College Station, I hear tons of rumors and ideas about growth in our community. Lately there have been many rumors about what is going on towards the back of Castlegate in south College Station. Since I sell a lot of homes in south College Station as well as living there myself, I wanted to get the real scoop so I could be knowledgeable when my clients ask me about what is going on in Castlegate. I went straight to the horses’ mouths, and interviewed Wallace and Dusty Phillips of Castlegate Communities to find out more about the new development!
For more information about Castlegate and any home in Bryan/College Station, give me, Farrah Spears, a call at 979-229-0919.

New Home Inspection Technology in Bryan/College Station
November 3rd, 2011 Categories: Home Improvement & Design, Market Trends, News, The Realtor's Life
Today I learned something new concerning home inspections. Clifton Cobbs of Sun Star Real Estate Inspections trained myself and some other Century 21, Beal agents about a new technology for home inspections using infared devices. These infared inspections can detect areas where air is penetrating a home or leaking out of a home as well as water detection in walls, ceilings, or floors. Watch the video to learn more and see a demonstration, or for more information on infared inspections, call Clifton at 832-594-0281
For this and all real estate tips, call me, Farrah Spears at 979-229-0919

Saving Energy in Your Bryan College Station Home
February 28th, 2011 Categories: Neighborhoods, News
The average home in Bryan-College Station today consumes twice the amount of power and twice as many electrical outlets as a home in the 1960’s or 1970’s. Weather changes often have a significant impact on the increase in utility costs and regardless of what one may think there are ways to keep those bills steady year round. So….
- Check air conditioning system to make sure it is at the peak operating condition.
- Replace air filters often (at least once a month).
- Keep thermostat no higher than 78 degrees during summer months and 68 degrees during winter months.
- Install a thermostat that automatically adjusts temperature in order to save.
- During the summer be sure to do heat producing tasks (cooking, laundry, dish washing) in the early mornings or late evenings.
- Use microwave over oven if possible.
- Reset water heater between 110 and 120 degrees.
- Keep blinds and shades closed to reduce heat gain in summer and in summer open them to receive direct sunlight and heat.
- In kitchen, bath and laundry areas use exhaust fans. Read the rest of this entry »
