September 1, 2009 by
It’s no shock that OKC has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the US, so wouldn’t it just make sense that it’d also be one of the best cities to look for a new job, too? With all our local economy has going right, it’s no wonder we’re seeing so many new faces in […]

Is Your Equity Being Stolen via Legislation?
August 29, 2009 by
Ask anyone what home values across the country are doing and you’ll get mixed responses, based solely on what locale each person is familiar with. Seems pretty obvious, right?

Many Oklahomans (or Okies) may think to themselves ‘What Recession?’ when they watch the nightly news, and that sentiment is being noticed more every day as the national press continues to report how strong our local economy is here in the Sooner State.

The closing of TBW was sure to affect plenty aspects of the real estate business, but today I was witness to one aspect I hadn’t considered. My client bought their first home and we closed today.
