WHAT A KNOCK OUT!


Do you love a garden full of color...but you have little or no time to spend pampering the plants? Oh my gosh...you must check out Knock Out Roses! In Houston, they bloom all year long...and are a beautiful addition to your landscaping. There are different types of Knockouts....different colors....but all are low maintenance. They are disease resistant; you don't have to "dust them". Just deadhead them periodically to spur on new growth...and you will be amazed and gratified by their beauty.
When I read up on them, the article says they will grow to 3 feet. NOT! Mine are 6 feet tall...and I whack them every year!! They are great for a long bed against a fence; they are very pretty backdrop to a swimming pool.
They love the sun...in fact, prefer the sun. Yes, you'll have to water them in the 90+ degree heat in the summer.
Any of your local nurseries will carry them, and they are affordable.
SO, are ya a lazy gardener, but love to look out at pretty flowers? KNOCK OUT ROSES are your solution.

LET'S GO SURFING!

Are you thinking about buying or selling? Here's how you can start your journey. From my personal website, you can go surfing and gather all sorts of wonderful information 24/7. There are hints on how to get your home ready to show. There are hints for buying. And there's a link to the Houston Association of Realtors MLS....where you can Search and Search and Search listings in all areas of the Houston Metro area....all prices....all sizes...etc.

I always get tickled when my clients discover HAR MLS....they become maniacs...thus my name for them: HAR MANIACS! That site is very user friendly and totally addicting.

SO....if you have even the faintest interest in moving....do a little surfing online. Around 75% of buyers and sellers start on the web before they ever call their Realtor. Of course, I want you to have fun playing on my website: http://www.beezbuzz.com/ and http://www.har.com/ but then I want you to call ME to help in your real estate adventure. I can show any home that is listed in MLS. If you already have a Realtor you are loyal to...that's okay....I believe in loyalty. Call them. You want to find one Realtor who will take you from Step 1 to the Finish Line. It will simplify your life, and make your moving experience a more efficient and pleasant one.
Enjoy surfing the web....and call me when you're ready!
