I know our CE classes have gone over this. Any tips on helping a buyer through the purchase of a home with groundwater conservation? Does this result in extra insurance coverage? Extra costs at closing, etc? Are there special inspections you recommend and any additional information you can share on this?

Ashlee! I am not aware of any difference in insurance costs, but there could be some savings as far as water costs! Inspections wise, typically you may find wells on properties in GCD's, so you may consider a well inspection; same thing with septic for that matter! Though you may not need an extra specific inspection for this, I would be mindful of water-use appliances like toilets and shower heads; with conservation of water, low flow toilets and shower heads are generally super necessary, as well as the dual flush toilets for number 1 and number 2 haha! Here's a sort of pros and cons list about ground water conservation. Pros: Environmental benefits: Groundwater conservation districts are typically established to protect and preserve the local water supply. By purchasing a home in a conservation district, you can help to reduce your water usage and protect the environment. Lower water bills: Conservation districts often offer incentives or rebates to homeowners who install water-efficient features and systems in their homes. This can lead to lower water bills and long-term cost savings. Potential tax incentives: In some areas, homeowners who implement water conservation measures may be eligible for tax incentives or other financial benefits. Improved resale value: As more homebuyers become aware of the importance of water conservation, homes in conservation districts may become more desirable and command higher resale values. Cons: Restrictions on water usage: In order to preserve the local water supply, conservation districts may impose restrictions on water usage. This can include limits on lawn watering, car washing, and other activities that use large amounts of water. Additional regulations: Homeowners in conservation districts may be subject to additional regulations and requirements related to water usage and conservation. This can include mandatory installation of water-efficient appliances and fixtures, or requirements to obtain permits for certain types of water usage. Upfront costs: In order to take advantage of the benefits of a conservation district, homeowners may need to invest in water-efficient features and systems for their homes. This can include items like low-flow showerheads, dual-flush toilets, and rainwater harvesting systems, which can be costly upfront. Limited availability: Groundwater conservation districts may not be available in all areas, which can limit your options when it comes to homebuying. Overall, purchasing a home in a groundwater conservation district can be a good choice for those who are committed to water conservation and environmental sustainability. However, it's important to carefully consider the potential restrictions and costs before making a decision.

I know of the 2016 Main downtown, 150 Gessner, and The Oaks of Woodlake. What other condo/apartments feature all-bills-paid?

Typically the Seller/Landlord will pay the commissions. If a buyer breaches their buyer tenant contract, they may be responsible in paying their perspsective agent.

To assist with selling your clients home. How do you advise them on staging their homes to sell?

Every home should be staged to some degree. The price point of the home will certainly dictate what makes sense. Vacant homes need to be staged with pictures, toilet paper (they'll be looking for it) towles, fake plants, hand soap, and other small items to basically not make it look unkept.

I have a few days left of my option pending period, I ask for another inspector who is a plumber specialist in bring camera for unseen pipes but owner refuse --is it a breach of contract. we give him $300 check. is it right for him to return it?

Contractually the Seller is obligated to allow showings, unless that portion of the contract has been struck by the clients; which is highly unlikely.

Mr. and Mrs. Seller have determined to put their home onto the market. They understand they should interview more than one agent --- two is good -- three is better. What are the top 5 questions they should ask the potential listing agent during each interview?

1. How many transactions did you close last year.2. How will you promote my home online?3. Do you work after 5 and are you available on the weekends?4. Besides using HAR what examples can you *show me* that you do to mkt your properties.5. What makes your approach unique?
