Testimonials
"Gregory B It is my pleasure to write a short testimonial regarding our recent experience working with Mr. Ron Wickes- Keller/Williams Realty-Lake Conroe. Let me first start off by saying that.....Ron is the reason we now live in our Dream Home! Ron went beyond the normal "Call of Duty" to accomplish our request in finding just the perfect home, at a difficult time of the year. Ron's strengths are numerous: -Ron is very pleasant, listens well and always does what you ask. -Ron is very punctual, organized and always on time. -Ron is very personable and attentive....he asked the right questions to help zero in on what you truly want. -Ron takes his Real Estate very serious and does his homework. This made it more conducive to view a very large number of properties. -Ron never gave up or got frustrated....even though I asked a lot of him. -Ron was constantly helping to guide us in the right direction.....and does truly know his product and the surrounding area. -Ron returns phone calls and e-mails instantly....and is a very good communicator. -If Ron didn't know the answer.....he would get it for you...and get it soon! -Ron was a very effective negotiator...and often projected our questions and concerns precisely. Moving and buying a house can be a stressful, concerning adventure.....but Ron helped to make all that easier. I hope I don't have to move again anytime soon....but if I do, I would utilize Ron again. I would suggest to anyone to give Ron a try. Don't Dive into real estate without Ron!!! Sincerely Gregory A. B Commercial Manager-Americas"

Melissa assuming you meet all of the other requirements (ie: income, down etc) you need to improve your credit score. If you need to increase it only a few points you might do that yourself. but if you need 40 or more points you need professional help. Take a minute and review the short video in the web reference. Email if you have any questions. And please do not dispute your items online. If you do this it is only two computers checking with one another and you forfeit a lot of your rights under the law. - Mon Aug 18 2008, 16:45
Ron Wickes answered:
Leonard it may vary from state to state but in Texas I have done it and would do it again. We do have stipulations though and one is that both the buyer and seller must have signed rep agreements with the agent. That is in our intermediary agreement which notifies you that the agent represents both parties. Also agents have to be careful for liability reasons because in this situation, at least in Texas, we can not give advice. We can answer questions and provide all facts but offer no advice to either party during the negotiations. Check with the state board of realtors for your state. - Mon Aug 18 2008, 15:59

buying a house to rent-what are the pros&cons?

Ron Wickes answered:
Catherine, That decision is really based on your personal financial situation. I have several investors I work with that do buy homes for investment rental income. They can afford it if the house should sit empty for several months which can happen. I would suggest that you sit down with a good agent and they can walk you through all of the questions that need to be answered. - Mon Aug 18 2008, 15:12

Allie, Please do not file your disputes online. When you do that it is only two computers checking with one another and you lose certain rights under the law when you do that. You must be very careful if you decide to do this yourself. The web reference shown below is a short seven minute video on credit repair. Please remember that the credit reporting agencies are in business to make money. They are not part of the government but only a for profit business. Please contact me for further information if you would like to. - Mon Aug 18 2008, 15:07

Franklin, The bankruptcy can be removed from your credit report thus improving your credit scores. Take a look at the 7 minute video in the web reference and send me an email afterwards. You can have the home you want. Have a great day. - Sat Aug 16 2008, 06:49
