Sunday, April 19th2009. I will be holding open another exceptional home in the Balcones area; one of Austin's finest neighborhoods. This is a wonderful and inviting one story brick home that has been renovated and updated. The floor plan offers great separation of bedrooms with the Master and beautifully appointed Master Bath located on the opposite side of the home. The remodeled kitchen features stainless appliances and a huge granite island that opens to the family room. A wall of windows overlooks the spacious backyard and gardens. The home backs to camp Mabry offering quiet and privacy.
Take advantage of this incredible value and a $70,000 MAJOR PRICE REDUCTION!
I will be on-site between 2pm and 4pm Sunday afternoon so please drop by for a tour of this exceptional property. If you have questions or are unable to attend or to schedule a private showing, I can be reached at my mobile number listed below. Thanks, I look forward to seeing you there!

If you or anyone you know is anticipating purchasing or selling real estate in the Balcones Neighborhood or anywhere in Central, West or Southwest Austin or the Westlake/Eanes School District area, I would be happy to be of assistance. Let me put my nineteen years success helping upscale buyers and sellers in Austin's finest neighborhoods to work for you. Contact me for a private consultation at your convenience!

Liz Hey there my friend, good to see you, and yes marti is a genius. I am going to have him redesign my outside blog next!
Caren That patio/outside area is on the the focal points of this wonderful home!
This is the coolest house, I cannot believe it is still available but it will sell for sure soon, maybe today!
Hi Russell! Hey, I have a 2-4 today--what do ya say we sell these babies TODAY! Best of luck and BTW, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your new header--I KNOW that's Marti's work and it's spectacular! I love the circular state flag being the only 'true' color in the header--very classy.
Russell, this home is ready to go, wonderfully staged and priced to sell! Good luck on your open house today!
Russell this is a beautifully done post. I know that your are quite adept at the art of open houses! Let us know how this one goes?
LOVE the back area covered with a trellis. That's the only room I need!
Very nice looking home. I know that you do a lot of open houses and in fact that's where we met you. Hope you have a good crowd on this beautiful spring day!
Howdy there Russell, my friend
How did your open house, go for this real fine looking home?
Have yourself a real good week!
Morning Russell...how did it go at the open yesterday. It was good to see that you had so many clicks. Way to go -- WooHoo :-)
Those photos surely make the house inviting - how did it go? Karen
Mattie I am with you, it's a beautiful home and it has been surprising that the home has not yet sold however, the market until recently was stalled because of the nations problems!
Debe I saw that you had an open house at the same time yesterday and hope you were as busy as me. I had great traffic! Marti did a fantastic job on my header and I am planning to have him do some work on my outside blog too!
Anne I agree and the crowd was pretty good yesterday. I will have some more feedback later today
Jeannette I do actually have a lot of success in different forms at my open houses and this one was fairly successful!
Jennifer It is so good to see you here! I hope all is well in your new digs on the East Coast. I am thinking you and Jason might need at least one other room but...oh, well, never mind! Have a great week and I will drop by your blog soon!
Jim & Sharon It was so good to see you on the running trail Saturday, I had forgotten that we met at an open house, how long ago? Never mind that, thanks again for stopping by my blog!
Dale Good to see you here! Thanks for dropping by and yes it was a very good open house. I have noticed that traffic has picked up considerably since last fall!
HI Gail Hey there , I did have a nice crowd and I have really been surprised at the number who click on my open house posts, often days or weeks after the event, It's pretty cool that it stays up and is a way that future client can get to know more about us!
Karen How are things in your part of the world? As you know I take a lot of my own pictures for my blog but when it comes to photographing living spaces homes and architecture, I always hire a professional. It is fairly reasonable and the end product is very nice!
Hey Russell, I heard you had an entire family spend an hour at the house! Any more feedback, that is certainly some serious "previewing" time!
Allysoun, yes it was a larger family affair with children, grandchildren and even a couple of in-laws! I have contacted their agent and we will see what develops!
Beautiful listing. I held an open house on Sunday and had 3 couples interested. At this writing, we have 2 contracts on the table.
Rebecca Thank you for the compliment! I also had some serious interest and I am glad to hear that your open house generated activity. I know many agents do not care for open houses but I think it's all about attitude and a real strategy! Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Russell What a paradise. I hope it sells for you and I am sure it will. You do such an excellent presentation of your listings. Your clients have to be so appreciative. Thanks to you, Austin Texas seems to be the place to be.
June, It is an incredibly beautiful home in one of Austin's best Mid-Century neighborhoods. It's great to see you around again and thanks for stopping by!
Hey Russell,
That's one sweet house. You've really changed my perspective about homes in Austin!
Russell: THAT BATHROOM IS TO DIE FOR! Nice listing!
What a gorgeous home and love the patio! Best wishes for a quick sale! Enjoy life and remember, dance like no one is watching!!!
Hi Bruce, very good to see you here! Yes, Austin has some incredibly fine neighborhoods and homes. And...oh wait, I was going to make a pfunny comment about Jason's neighborhood, Pflugerville but reconsidered. LOL
Renee The rest of the house is exceptional too and it's located in a wonderful neighborhood!
Hey there Cathy Thanks for the compliments! And yes, thats the way i usually have to dance! LOL Have a great weekend!
Hi Russel, What a gorgeous home! I hope the open house went well!
Hi Mary I am a big proponent of Open Houses (unlike many agents) because I have several goals along with selling the home and generating interest in the home and neighborhood. Thanks very much for dropping by!
