Kathy Massey is a Success in College Station!
February 11th, 2010 Categories: Real Estate News, Real Estate True Tales
Katherine Massey Century 21 Beal Realtor
Susan,
My husband Chris and I have been extremely impressed with Kathy Massey, our Century 21 Beal Realtor. I first contacted Kathy back in the fall when my husband first heard about his transfer to Dallas. Kathy took the time to give us some good, solid information even though we were not ready to list the house at that time. We went back to Kathy and got our house listed February 1st. We got a contract that evening and a second the morning of February 2nd. I think our house is attractive, but Kathy’s pricing advice put us in a great position to get two full-price offers quickly. She’s been so patient and friendly through the whole process and continues to be so as we work towards closing.
Thank you.
Terrie (and Chris)
PS – You can reach Kathy at 979-764-2100 or katherinem@century21bcs.com

College Station Tree Preservation Ordinance – What Do YOU Think?
March 7th, 2009 Categories: College Station Neighborhoods, Real Estate News
March 26, 2009 the College Station City Council is having a workshop to review the current draft of the College Station Tree Preservation Ordinance.
Are you ready for the City of College Station to tell you what trees you can cut down?
The City of College Station City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance Purpose states:
- The purpose and intent of this Section is to promote the preservation of trees and tree stands during construction to facilitate site design and construction that contributes to the long-term viability of existing trees and to develop a process to control the removal of trees. It is further the purpose of this ordinance to prevent the untimely and indiscriminate removal or destruction of trees, maintain and enhance a positive image of the City and to protect trees and promote the ecological, environmental and aesthetic values of the City.
Are you ready to have to get a permit to cut a tree? Are you ready to APPLY for a permit to grade your property if there is a tree larger than 8 inches in diameter?
If you are outside the City Limits think you don’t have to worry? Sorry – right now the draft says -
- Tree protection requirements will apply to all property in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) in conjunction with development and subdivision plats.
Yes, there are some exemptions. Yes this is only a draft. BUT, will this become law for the City of College Station? Do we need more regulation to limit real estate development? Do we need more governmental interference?
Remember in 2009 the College Station City Council has landlords registering their properties if they are renting – with a fee of course. This College Station Tree Ordinance is just ONE MORE…..

Why Did Fannie Mae Fail?
October 10th, 2008 Categories: Mortgage Help, Real Estate News
With all that is going on in the mortgage and banking world right now, don’t you wonder WHY? Why did this mess begin? What started it? Didn’t anyone see it coming?
Yes – someone saw it coming. The New York Times actually reported it coming back on September 30th in 1999. How many years ago is that? Maybe it was while Clinton was President, not George Bush….
In 1999 Steven Holmes from the New York Times wrote that Fannie Mae was under extreme pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans to low and moderate income people. In doing this “Fannie Mae is taking on significantly more risk, which may not pose any difficulties during flush economic times…. but may run into trouble in an exonomic downturn, prompting a government rescue similar to that of the savings and loan industry in the 1980’s”.
Do you remember the 80’s when WE bailed out the savings and loan industry? Often times we forget our past, our history and with that we repeat it over and over. Bailout – something new? NO WAY! We do it over and over and over. As much as I disliked my history courses in school and as much as my husband will razz me over saying this….
Maybe we should pay more attention to our past so we do not continue to repeat it but instead make better choices for our future.
