‘A Cut Above The Rest’

A Note from Elizabeth Welcome to the wonderful world of houses, where your agent does mat-ter. How are you going to know when home prices and interest rates have hit BOTTOM?......when they start going back UP! The time to buy is NOW!Ever wonder how your neighborhood compares to others in Lubbock? What is the educational level of my neighborhood, are there more rentals or owner occupied homes? How do the schools that my children attend compare to other schools in Lubbock? My new website at www.lubbockhomes4sale.com can answer these and many more questions! Please register today and go to the tab marked ‘Market Leader’, you’ll be glad you did!I am never too busy for your referrals, Please call me at 806-771-HOME(4663)
