A number of things for our area: Strong jobs and economic outlook TONS and I mean TONS of people relocating from outside of Texas to Williamson […]
I got to keynote the 2015 Commercial Real Estate Forecast Competition for the Houston CCIM chapter this month. There were lots of numbers flying through the room, with some of the best brokers in town sharing their expertise.

Every so often, we at the Real Estate Center pause for a moment to try and get a sense of what’s on our customers’ minds.
