Testimonials
"Our 3rd property with Brian and what else can we say. Working with him is great; he kept us grounded especially when we’ve dealt with difficult Buyers/Sellers. He goes above and beyond by coordinating directly with our lender and contractors."

"We had a wonderful experience with Brian. He gave us good advice on selling our house. The sale went through quickly despite a weak housing market at the time. He was very responsive and attentive to all of our needs. Thank you Brian!"

"We appreciate everything you did to sell our house. From the marketing, to the handling of the contract negotiations, to dealing with the myriad of homeowners and community association demands, to finalizing the sale, you walked us through confidently. This stressful time was made more comfortable by your constant support and contact. Your sense of duty towards us and your other clients is evident. Upon going through what we believed to be a potential catastrophe to renovations to our house, we called you, forgetting you were on vacation, 1000 miles away. Despite this, you returned our message within 5 minutes, putting us at ease once again. This kind of customer service is rare and admirable…Your knowledge of real estate issues is impressive and your sense of duty to your clients is commendable"

"Brian was always very enthusiastic, accommodating and patient during the whole process. We faced a tough buyer's market but Brian made it a very pleasant experience for us. He patiently showed a lot of properties and always kept our interest at the forefront. He was very active in finding properties new to the market. On most occasions we could see the property the same day it came to the market thus giving us an edge over other buyers. Brian's warm and friendly attitude helped us to express our concerns to him very freely. There was never a time when Brian didn't return our call within a few minutes whether it be during daytime or at night…He is the best real estate agent we have ever come across."

Dear Home Hunting,
Marriotts Ridge is a newer school so that is probably why they don't have the scores out yet. The students who are districted for it came from Centennial, Mt Hebron and Glenelg. So, the scores should come in very strong.

Defining "best" to one person will be different for another. If you ask, who has the highest SAT scores, that answer can easily be answered. But it doesn't mean it is the best school. Typically Centennial High School has the highest SAT score.
Scores can be found at http://www.hcpss.org/.
By the way, there is info on each school. Click on school, then elementary, middle or high school. Then the .pdf for each school.

Jeff,
For testing data go to http://www.hcpss.org and click on "test scores". This is Howard County's Public School website. Certainly there are other factors besides scores. You can call the Board of Ed at 410.313.6600. As a Realtor in Howard County, I can tell you home prices change in relation to the reputations of schools. I graduated from Howard High School in 1995. Howard usually ranks the lowest from a scores stand point, but it was a great school.

This home is presently under contract in our MLS. It was listed at $294,800. If I can send you list of active properties for sale like this, let me know.
Brian Pakulla answered:
Yes the trend has slowed because the market has been dropping value. In many cases there is a time period of one to several months for a home to be improved. During that time the equity that the investor thought they had may get wiped out.
However, you can still be successful in investing and reselling shortly thereafter. If you want to do it for the short term you need to do your homework. You have to know the value very well. Conduct significant research and base your assumptions on data and facts. A good Realtor can help you with this process. Plus, they can help you when you need to list and sell it.
If you are investing for the long term, invest in areas that are in demand and have done well in the past. Areas such as Howard County generally will do very well over the long term.
