Audio Only - July 24th Allen And FLP Market Update by Tom Grisak, Luxury Agent

Curious how the Allen, Fairview, Lucas, and Parker real estate markets are doing now after the 3 month Covid shutdown earlier this year? You might be surprised

Appraisals are often one of the great mysteries of real estate. If you're an agent, you understand how important it is for a property to appraise, yet we have no say where the value comes in. Ironically, we often know the market much better than the appraiser. A poor appraisal will kill a transaction and we've all had them. So what are the rules appraisers have to follow? How much latitude do they have when comps are difficult to find? What happens when you get a poor appraisal? Is there any recourse? Karen Beaty with Beaty Appraisal here in Fairview will tackle some of the questions I put to her. She's an excellent appraiser, highly regarded, and I've had to rely on her in the past when I needed help with an opinion of value.

On September 1st, 2019 the Texas legislature has mandated that homeowners must pay the insurance deductible for a new roof. It cannot be "absorbed" into the cost of the roof by the roofing company. This has been a "wink, wink, nod, nod" way of doing business in Texas for as long as I can remember. But that's all about to change.
