Real Estate with a Servant’s Heart

The Robert J Fischer Team – named by Keller Williams Realty as the #1 Realtor in the Round Rock (Austin) Texas area at its local 300 agent office, #1 in Listings Sold, #1 in Volume Sales and #2 in Units Sold for 2010.

We wanted to share with you a recent testimonial we received from a client selling a distressed property.

“Thank you for all of the work you all have done! I’m so happy to be out from under this house without facing foreclosure. I appreciate every bit of effort each of you put into this.”

Sometimes we run across sellers that feel they either need to foreclose on their home, just get out, and/or do a short sale. If you feel your mortgage is becoming too overwhelming or you are behind on payments, know there are solutions out there to help. We are here to help and offer confidential consultations.

Some of you may not know, a short sale refers to the sale of real property for an amount less than the amount owed on the property. In the short sale scenario, the bank agrees to accept less than the full balance due on the debt, and usually “forgives” all or a large portion of the difference.

If you or someone you know needs help with selling their home, please give Robert a call at 512.791.0229 or visit us on the web at www.RobertJFischer.com

Austin-Round Rock area ranked fourth in economic growth index

AUSTIN, TX (Community Impact News, by Blake Rasmussen)-The Austin-Round Rock metro area fared well in an economic growth study released Dec. 19, placing fourth on an annual list of the best-performing large metro areas.

The Milken Institute Best-Performing Cities Index “ranks U.S. metropolitan areas by how well they are creating and sustaining jobs and economic growth,” according to the study.

Austin-Round Rock dipped slightly from the 2010 rankings, where it was ranked second, behind only Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood, Texas.

The top five on the list was dominated by Texas areas, and Central Texas metro regions specifically. San Antonio and El Paso were first and second, respectively, and Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood was fifth. Fort Collins-Loveland, Colo., was third.

The Miliken Institute measured job, wage and salary, and technology growth, according to the study, in order to compile the rankings, which split into two lists of large and small metro areas.

Austin-Round Rock scored especially strong in five-year job growth from 2005–10, where it placed third in the nation and second in the state.

Other Texas metropolitan areas on the list included Dallas-Plano-Irving (20), Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown (16) and Fort Worth-Arlington (24). All told, there were 13 Texas metropolitan areas on the list, all in the top 70.

In 2009, Austin-Round Rock ranked first on the list.
