Austin Real Estate Blog | National Real Estate Review

I'm Lani. I live in Austin, Texas (jealous?). I am the New Media Director of Single Pointe Realty (and AgentGenius.com). I keep this blog as my personal take on the market, the business of Real Estate, and the agents that make up the profession from all over the nation. Because I am not a licensed agent- I write commentary from the unique perspective of part consumer, part insider. Oh, and I have a ridiculous affinity for cheese.

We're a unique real estate company that doesn't operate as a traditional brokerage. We bring new technology, modern buying & selling strategies to our clients- it's been my job to create a home buying & selling experience that is fun, fresh, & exciting for today's Austin real estate consumer.

Truth In Advertising

What you should learn from the following video:

(1) Never move to Germany. Apparently their packaged food is the most disgusting thing you’ll ever experience next to being force-fed your own vomit.

(2) Don’t over-enhance your photography for your ads. Realtors- you don’t want to end up on the Bad MLS photos shame list, but you also don’t want someone to want to hunt you down because on a tour they saw this ugly chick when online they saw this hot chick.

(3) McDonald’s ain’t so bad after all.

Good grief that food looked horrible. But seriously now, the worst food in the world comes in those $5 “lunchboxes” you can get on United on domestic flights. Those are like leftovers from the original Apollo missions.

Thanks for the link love

But the video made me sick. I had to throw out all my Lean Cuisine Swedish Meatball Meals.

I can’t even believe people eat lunchables. The stuff in the video hardly even passes for food.

Enduring Bubble Gum

I've interviewed the elite in real estate- bubble gum style....

Bubble Gum Interview- Benn Rosales (My HUSBAND)!!!

A better question is do you think people who say smooth as a baby’s butt have ever changed a diaper? I mean seriously, why do we spend so much time dreaming of being younger or going back in time, or relating to childhood when we really should embrace the “now”. Looking backwards is so “life in reverse.”[…]

Bubble Gum with Kris Berg

Without giving too much away, it involved a party, a Tall Scotch & Water with a Twist (or ten), midnight munchies, a drive-thru window, assorted food products named “Jack” (Bonus, Breakfast), two Super Tacos, a large order of fries and a couple of regrettable hangovers. Steve is such a romantic![…]
