About Me
I started in Real Estate over four years ago in California when the market was on the rise. After relocating to Austin I obtained my license only to witness California's mighty market crumble. When California slowed the investors flocked to Austin. Upon joining Prudential Texas Realty I quickly joined The Live Well Team. Currently I am now busy managing over 100 doors for Henderson Properties while simultaneously serving as Operations Manager for The Live Well Team. Our small boutique community of highly productive agents specializes in the marketing of downtown Austin condos, eco-friendly green communities and spaces considered out of the ordinary. We're creative, think out of the box, have better than average conversion rates and clients love us because we treat them like family.

With Austin's thriving student community we have seen our stable market constantly buck national trends. Through the countless negotiations of buying & selling cash flowing properties to our many investors we have thrived in Austin. We have experience with the most complex flip & rehab homes you can imagine. We offer an all inclusive batch of services including Leasing, Buying, Selling, Property Servicing, and Investment Consulting.

T., Buyer & Seller in Houston

Austin, TX area. 300 -450,000 houses close to 183 & MLK?

Asked Thu Jul 24 2008, 18:03 by T.  -  Austin  -  Home Buying  -  8 answers
Paul B. Perez answered:
Hi T,
What part of Houston are you coming from? MY GF is from there and we visit often, Sugarland, Fairfield, Lake Conroe, & Museum District mostly. About the 300-450k homes close to MLK and 183, you will be looking at the Agave homes on the hill. They are modern homes with an abundance of green features and concrete! Very snazzy. Although you may also want to consider something a little closer to town. Keep in mind that Austin driving is in no way as long as Houston driving, beltway and all. If you have any questions are need further assistance drop me an email. Cheers. - Yesterday, 07:16
Jeremy Rosen, Home Buyer in Arlington

Paul B. Perez answered:
South and East from an affordability perspective? What about your exit strategy & Re-Sale? I can tell you that if your spending that much on a place, you can get a better appreciating condo in the highly sought after Clarksville & Tarrytown area. Why did you pick those areas? Do your friends live there? Have you had a chance to speak with a lender? Drop me an email if you need help, otherwise, Happy Hunting. - Mon Jul 21 2008, 15:41
Paul Martinez, Home Buyer in Austin

Is now a bad time to buy in Austin?

Asked Thu Jul 17 2008, 13:52 by Paul Martinez  -  Austin  -  Home Buying  -  21 answers
Paul B. Perez answered:
Paul, first things first, turn off your T.V. and radio and stop listening to the crap about the housing market. You live in Austin, TX my friend, and we are by no means to be compared with other housing markets. Second thing, Paul are you a libra? I ask because Libra's are notorious for sitting on the fence. You have to really be honest with yourself and compare what you are losing in rent every month with the possibility of owning your own place! Julie was right to a degree about interest rates, but with Indy mac and everyone getting bailed out like they did I can PROMISE you that the interest rates WILL GO UP! Also, any home you buy is a decent investment vs. renting any time in Austin! FHA is definitely the way to go, and with their recent changes it is not too much to ask for sellers to pay a portion, if not all, of your closing costs. Oh yes, as for the original question, it's not at all a bad time to buy in Austin! Actually when compared to the rest of the US, we are probably the best place to buy hands down! AS for the out of pocket, think closer to $9000 if you get no help from the seller. Approximate about 3% CC & 3% DP. Don't forget your appraisal & inspection around another $700.

Matt, Home Buyer in Texas

How much negotiation advice should my realtor give me?

Asked Thu Jul 17 2008, 06:07 by Matt  -  Allen  -  Home Buying  -  8 answers
Paul B. Perez answered:
He or She should give you tons of advice! Before they can give you advice, they have to ask a ton of questions so that they can understand your particular situation and tailor that advice to your needs. If you are getting quoted price per sq. ft. and you signed a buyers agent agreement, I would have to tell you that you may be dealing with a rookie. When I first started, the buyers agent signature page is what our broker pushed us to get signed before we look at houses. In my experience folks are reluctant to sign these agreements because of situations like yours. My clients all work under implied agency, which means they feel like they are being represented. If you want to check up on your agent, post some answers here in Trulia. You should be able to get some great feedback! - Thu Jul 17 2008, 07:08
