We at CENTURY 21 Realty Partners just had a phenomenal time at the 2016 Century 21 Global Conference. We had a sizable delegation of agents and managers who attended the convention in Orlando, Florida. Our accomplishments in 2015 earned four of our agents Centurion Award recognition from Century 21. We also stood out by offering complimentary virtual reality headsets branded with the CENTURY 21 Realty Partners logo. Even more amazing was the custom VR experience showcasing CENTURY 21 Realty Partners created by UFOSNAP. Our headset and web-based VR experience allows anyone with a smartphone to see 360 images of our offices and one of our exclusive listings. The links are already on the home page, but if you haven’t seen them yet, put on your favorite VR headset and check it out with a modern web browser. We look forward to utilizing more VR technology in the future. It’s just another of the many ways we at CENTURY 21 Realty Partners are SMARTER. BOLDER. FASTER.

3 Tips for Getting Your Home Ready to Sell: Curb Appeal, Clearing Clutter, Cleaning Windows

By Diane Lominac|2017-03-13T15:54:53-05:00May 6th, 2013|Advice|

Getting your home ready to sell can be a lot of work. I find that sellers who invest in curb appeal, clearing clutter, and cleaning windows help buyers fall in love with their house.

Curb Appeal. First impressions matter. Drive up to your home as if you were a new buyer. What do you see? Are the gutters full of debris? Is the driveway clean? Do your flower beds need some fresh mulch and a little trimming? Are there brown spots or unmanicured areas in the lawn? Now, walk to the front door. Does it need a fresh coat of paint or varnish? Is the hardware okay or does it look past its prime? Look up, are there cobwebs or nests in the corners of the porch? Remember, this is the location a buyer stands waiting for an agent to unlock the door. They have time to look around and notice these things. Make a ‘to do’ list – and get it done!

Clearing Clutter. Buyers want to imagine your house with their belongings. Clean out closets to show off how much space is available. The same goes for kitchen and bathroom cabinets. If you don’t use it every day, consider packing it up and storing it. You don’t really need 50 glasses and 30 plates right now, do you? Having less clutter and storing your excess items makes it easier to keep your home tidy and show ready!

Being organized helps you when it’s time to start […]

Houston New Home Permits Up 44% To Keep Up With Demand

By Realty Partners|2017-03-13T15:54:53-05:00April 25th, 2013|News|

If you’re looking to buy in the Houston area, expect more and more showings to look like this. House Under Construction by Charles Rondeau As reported by the Houston Business Journal, new residential construction permits in Houston are up 44% since March 2012. These figures were compiled in a report by the Greater Houston Partnership. The city issued a total of $187.3 million worth of permits just for March, compared to $130.2 million for the same month last year.

This comes as no surprise since we have had very tight inventory in nearly every Houston area market. With Houston’s economy running wide open, and continued rise as a global city, the demand for more homes and workplaces will only increase. We have witnessed multiple bid scenarios with several of our listings and we expect supply to further tighten before it increases again.

Where have you seen new construction going up? Have you seen multiple offers on a home? Please tell us in the comments!

Houston: The Next Great American City

By Realty Partners|2017-03-13T15:54:53-05:00April 8th, 2013|Our Communities|

Here at CENTURY 21 Realty Partners, we always keep an eye out for what the chattering class is saying about Houston. For years, many urban planners have sneered at Houston, dismissing it as merely the center of a sprawling and anarchic metropolitan area. The suburbs, the freeways, the lack of density, the lack of zoning, the poor mass transit, Houston was deemed a backwards and tasteless city that would never amount to much. While gallons of ink has been spilled describing why Houston shouldn’t work, Houstonians have been quietly going to work, living their lives, and building a vibrant urban region. It seems that people are starting to realize what we knew all along: Houston is not just a great place to do business, Houston is a great place to live.

Coming to our intellectual defense is Joel Kotkin, Professor of Urban Development and a Fellow at Chapman University. He has recently penned and article titled, “Houston Rising—Why the Next Great American Cities Aren’t What You Think.” Kotkin’s article applauds us for many of the reasons we already know about, job

s, growth, diversity, culture, opportunity, and many more. What stood out however, was his standards by which he judges a city and his explanation as to why they grow:

“Cities grow primarily because they do what cities were designed to do in the first place: help their residents achieve their aspirations.”

What a simple yet powerful statement. A city is just a physical place where people live in […]

Why Choosing The Right Agent is Important

By Diane Lominac|2017-03-13T15:54:53-05:00March 4th, 2013|Advice|

Choosing an agent is crucial. Here are some things to consider when selecting a real estate professional.

Are you planning to buy or sell a home in the near future? Choosing your agent is critical. Whether you’re a first time buyer or seller or a seasoned veteran, you want to make sure your agent is a professional. When considering your agent selection, ask yourself if he or she is:

Available. When you reach out to a potential agent, is he or she available to answer the phone or call you back within a reasonable time? If you’re selling you want to know that potential buyers can reach your agent.
Visible. What marketing plan does your agent provide? Does your agent have the ability to properly promote your property and attract potential buyers? If you are buying, does your agent have insight into homes that are available and meet your criteria?
Knowledgeable. If you’re buying, how much knowledge does your agent have about the area? Is he or she willing to do the homework to provide you with any answers for your concerns? Will your agent advise and guide you throughout the process? Will he or she provide you with a list of helpful references such as inspectors and handymen?
Experienced. Working with an agent who understands negotiating and performs on […]
