Ever Bought or Sold a Haunted House?

It that scary time of year. As I walk my puppy thru the neighborhood, almost every home is decorated for Halloween.  We like to be scared..that’ why my favorite author is Stephen King.

Since we live and breathe houses as Realtors®, we often hear about haunted houses.  The  HGTV website FrontDoor just poseted a website on ‘Real Life Haunted Houses’.  They discuss seven haunted houses. 

1. Chelsea Hotel, New York City
2. Winchester Mystery House
3. Cassadago, Fl
4. The White House
5. Myrtles Plantation, St. Francesville, La
6. Salem, Ma
7. Amityville, New York

My favorite haunted place (note favorite author above) is The Stanley located in Estes Park Co.. The theory is that hotel was the basis for Stephen King’s ‘The Shining’.

It’s Time To Vote!

As citizens of the United States we have the right to vote……we did not always have that right, it was a hard fight.  Let’s make sure that we all excercise our right this mid-term election.

It’s especially important this year in Katy Texas.  Katy Independent School District has presented a Bond Referendum for our up or down vote.

What is in the bond package?
The bond package is composed of several projects and includes funding for items such as the construction of three elementary, one junior high and one high school; comprehensive renovations at five of the district’s oldest campuses including Katy, Taylor, and Mayde Creek High Schools, as well as West Memorial and Mayde Creek Junior High Schools; and more than 50 component replacement projects at several campuses.
