Sugar Land, Texas 77478 Dear Curtis: Just a few lines to thank you for finding a "perfect fit" home for my wife and me. Your in-depth knowledge of metropolitan Houston, particularly the southwest area, was invaluable in our search, as was your extensive experience as a realtor. Furthermore, you went beyond the call of duty in helping, not only with mortgage advice and expedient actions, but, because the house was a foreclosure, and in need of repairs, with helping us find service persons who were reputable, reliable and charged reasonable fees and assisting in making our move go smoothly, especially since it was during the Christmas holidays. If we can ever be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact us. With sincerest gratitude, Rufus J. Landry

Curb Appeal >A Beautiful Yard
Many people wait until they are about to sell their home before they put energy and attention into improving the landscaping. Then in a desperate attempt to create instant curb appeal, they call in a professional landscaper and spend a lot of money making the yard beautiful for the next owners to enjoy.
Why wait until you are ready to move to enhance your surroundings? Even if you don't want to take on a major project, you can plant a few bushes and bulbs each year. You can get plants that bloom at different times of the year, many of which don't need a tremendous amount of care. There are several benefits to this approach. You will be able to enjoy your improvements yourself, and you will profit more from your sale if you haven't invested a lot of money in your yard right before the transaction. Well-landscaped lawns tend to increase the real estate values in the whole neighborhood, and can result in a more rapid increase in the equity you have in your home!
