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. Please Let me know if you have any other specific questions, I'm happy to assist! codysellsproperty@gmail.com. (346) 412-6603

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

Hi there, depending on the area of town you\'re able to find some condo\'s that include utilities like water, trash pick up, landscaping, some include cable and internet. \n\nFor specifics please email me your desired area and price range I\'ll be happy to pull some reports and send them your way!

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?

Amy Patton

Amy Patton recommended by Todd Thompson. Amy worked together on a real estate transaction on Feb. 20th, 2026.

“Recently closed a transaction with Amy as the selling agent that had multiple chances to go off the rails. She was a real pro the whole time and helped keep the buyer involved while we worked through the issues. I look forward to working with Amy in the future."

Lisa Burns

Lisa Burns recommended by Lacey Cottrell. Lisa helped buy a property on Jul. 6th, 2025.

“Working with Lisa Burns in Cypress, TX was an absolute dream — we truly couldn’t have done it without her! We were relocating from China and had zero knowledge of the Texas area. We were going in completely blind and found Lisa through Zillow — and wow, did we hit the jackpot. Despite the time difference, Lisa was available to us 24/7 — answering questions at all hours, sending detailed updates, and making sure we felt confident every step of the way. Her deep knowledge of the Cypress area and surrounding communities helped us quickly understand what would be the right fit for our family. When we flew in for a short house-hunting trip, Lisa was an absolute soldier — she packed our schedule with a wide range of showings so we could get a real feel for the market in a very limited window. She handled everything with incredible energy, organization, and care. Lisa went far beyond what’s expected of a real estate agent. She was our guide, advocate, and trusted local expert. From virtual tours to honest insights about neighborhoods and even help after closing, she never missed a beat. Even now — after closing — Lisa continues to assist us with local recommendations, service referrals, and anything we need as we settle into our new home. That kind of ongoing support is rare, and we’re incredibly grateful. We can’t stress this enough: go with this professional! Whether you’re local or relocating from halfway across the world, Lisa Burns is the realtor you want by your side. She’s truly exceptional."

Lisa Burns

Lisa Burns recommended by Lilian Rea. Lisa helped buy a property on Jun. 26th, 2025.

“Oh my goodness! Lisa goes way beyond any realtor I've ever met. Having her as a realtor to purchase our home in Texas went way beyond what me and my husband expected! She helped us not only find the right house, but gave us so many important tips that we had no idea existed that would protect us as buyers. I'm not surprised at all that she's a Platinum Realtor! Working with Lisa is game changing! She's amazing!"

Norma Andersson

Norma Andersson recommended by Jennifer Yeon. Norma worked together on a real estate transaction on Jun. 3rd, 2025.

“Norma is professional, very efficient and just great to work with. She represented the seller for my client's purchased listing and did the best to help our clients move forward for the best experience. I would be happy to work with Norma again in near future transactions."
