Welcome!




Welcome to the RE/MAX of Texas Blog, a place where real estate professionals from around Texas and the globe can connect to share insights, opinions and tricks of the trade with the real estate industry. With our emergence onto the Social Media scene, RE/MAX of Texas is broadening its audience and speaking to Realtors from every facet of the industry regardless of franchise affiliation.

It's a difficult time for today's real estate professional, but a unique time as well. Historically low interest rates combined with the first-time homebuyer tax credit and variety of inventory have made 2009 the best opportunity for consumers to realize homeownership and one of the best possible value for their investment. Unfortunately, consumer confidence is still shaky and Realtors must work harder than ever to reassure the public. Sadly, many Realtors are leaving the industry to return to the security of the 9-to-5 work week, or embracing unemployment.

RE/MAX of Texas wants to stem the loss of professionals from our industry. That's why you'll find this blog reaching out to more than just RE/MAX agents. We want to connect and share ideas and inspirations with the whole real estate community. We want to know what's going on in your market, what you are doing to keep business going, how you are adapting to market changes and what new ideas you are embracing to continue your careers' success!

For our part, we'll be offering insights, tips, news and inspirations of our own to keep you motivated and conversing with each other. Our main goal in this blog is to stimulate conversation between Realtors and real estate professionals. This is the time and place to let your voice be heard!

Sincerely,

Richard Filip
CEO
