Killeen homes for sale – Even on the coldest days!

March 3, 2014 By

working from homePart of what I love about my job as a Realtor is that it also allows me to be flexible with my schedule. Everyone benefits – my clients, my family and me!

Today’s technology has given me the freedom to do many tasks from home -just like I am sitting in my office. I can communicate with clients, set up marketing campaigns, check on the status of transactions under contract and follow up with new leads – all while making mac-n-cheese and tending to a mountain of laundry.

Of course there are many days when I am gone from home all day – checking on listings, meeting with clients, networking with peers and scouting homes for sale for new buyers. I love both kinds of days – and am thankful for this wonderful job that fulfills me in every corner of my life.

Today, the temperature is below 20 degrees- totally weird for the area in Texas where I live but true none-the-less. I made an executive decision to keep Sadie home -and do some much needed snuggling, coloring, puzzle-putting-togethering and working from the laptop. Tomorrow I will be back to the office – Sadie will be back at school and I will handle whatever comes my way. (Hopefully its a line of new buyers saying SELL ME A HOUSE!)

Have you ever thought about a career in real estate? Its a big decision for sure, lots of things to think about but if you decide to jump in – it could be the best thing you ever did for yourself and your family. I am always available to share my story, answer questions and give advice that could only come from 11 years of experience in this amazing business.

Paula’s office – Time to Decorate!

February 10, 2014 By

yellow cabinetsToday I was inspired to get started with decorating my new office space. I moved into my new space for Texas Heritage Real Estate back in November – thanks to my friend Melinda G. who had an extra office in her suite that was empty. It is now home to my resurrected real estate office in Killeen Texas. The space is perfect – the location is perfect – but I am a little surprised at myself for not having it all bling’d out and fabulous looking by now. Maybe all the other things that HAD to be done to get the biz back up and running took priority over the fun part – but I am soooo ready to do it now!

If I am totally honest, another part of the “wait” has been money. If money we no object, I would just load up and head to Austin and blow out my bank account at Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware… sadly- money is an object… a literal – tiny- little object – tiny like coins. So this decor project will be on a shoestring budget – as in a “used shoe string from an old boot in the back of a storage shed.” Fortunately for me, I am good at this kind of challenge.

So today, I was browsing through a decor themed blog and ran across a post about all the fabulous finds that are hidden away at stores like Goodwill! I LOVE GOODWILL!! I should post a sticky note on the dash of my car that says in bold print “GO TO GOODWILL FIRST” so I will remember to check it out when I am in need of something unique and fabulous! Over the years I have found TONS of cool stuff at our local Killeen area Goodwill stores. I think we have about 5 of them in a 15 mile radius – so plenty of treasures to be found. Last Christmas, I found a totally perfect Tiny Tikes desk and stool for Sadie – and when I say perfect I mean it looked like it was right out of the box. New they cost around $85 – and I took this one home for $20. Its still in her room and she uses it all the time. SCORE!

My challenge is to decorate my Texas Heritage Real Estate office with as many re-purposed items that I can find from stores like Goodwill… as well as yard sales, flea markets, etc… It may take some time, but I will note the project with pics and a running price list so we can see if it really was a bargain at the end! Either way, I know it will be fun!

Guest bedroom and guest bathroom ideas- Killeen homes – Killeen real estate

January 28, 2014 By

Be the perfect host…

Wow your overnight guests with a luxurious and well stocked guest room and bath. I like to take the shampoos, lotions and conditioners with me from my hotel stays (I paid for them right?) and use them in a basket in my guest bath. Over time I have accumulated many different kinds plus shower caps, toothpastes, toothbrushes etc that are all perfect for my guests when they stay over at my home. If you don’t stay in hotels much, you can still find individual sized toiletries in the travel section of your Target, Walmart or drugstore.

It should go without saying, but I will say it anyway… CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN is the key here. Your guests aren’t expecting 5-Star luxury accommodations but that doesn’t mean you can’t strive for it. If you don’t have time for a thorough cleaning -let the professionals handle it this time. If you do have time (and energy) – don’t forget the corners, baseboards and ceiling fan!

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a list of a few items that will have your guests begging to come back soon!

Guest bedroom:

  • Lots of pillows. A few soft and a few firm – plus a back pillow for reading in bed.
  • A small tray for the dresser or nightstand for your guest’s things like jewelry, eye-glasses and electronics.
  • A mini clothes steamer instead of an iron.
  • A universal charger for phones, tablets and other small electronics.
  • A bedside table with a lamp.
  • Best selling books, popular magazines appropriate for your guest’s interests and a notepad with pen.
  • A box of tissues.
  • A hook on the back of the bedroom or closet door.
  • Extra blankets – light and heavy, everyone’s sleeping temp is different.
  • Clock
  • Something that smells good – like fresh flowers, candles or a wax warmer – but stay away from aerosol air fresheners.
  • A small dish of candies like mints, chocolates and/or gum.
  • Bottled water and glass

Guest bathroom:

  • Razor and shaving cream
  • New toothbrushes and toothpaste
  • Cotton balls, Q-tips and tissues
  • Hand lotion
  • Shampoo and conditioner
  • Freshly washed towels and washcloths
  • New shower pouf
  • Shower cap
  • Fresh rugs
  • Hair dryer
  • Sewing kit
  • Bathrobe

Superbowl Party Ideas! – Killeen Homes – Fort Hood Real Estate

January 27, 2014 By

Search homes for sale in Killeen Texas – PaulaSOLDit.com

Planning to invite guests over for the Superbowl this year? I have been tossing around the idea but am a little nervous since I recently downsized my home. Entertaining in a 3300 SF home was a cinch… doing it in a 1500 SF home – is a challenge to say the least – but it can be done!

1) I think the #1 thing to consider is seating. No one wants to hang out with you if they will be standing for hours – or sitting on a hard floor. So, count your possible seats and don’t over-invite. My home can comfortable accommodate about 8 adults – and then it starts getting a little crowded. Upholstered stools or floor cushions would be perfect for temporary extra seating.

 

 

 

2) The next thing of course… FOOD! What is everyone going to munch on during the game? Keep it simple! Simple doesn’t mean “scant” – it just means “easy” – for YOU and for your guest. 2-bite foods are best – items that don’t require a fork hopefully – but definitely not a full set of utensils. Dips are great – but make sure you have the appropriate dishes for them. I always hate seeing yummy cheese dip and then having to slop it on a flat plate – no good. If you will be serving dips – consider 4 oz. clear plastic cups for guests to use.  Wooden skewers are also a great way to spear a meatball or little smokies and they look awesome on the table in a vase.

 

3) Don’t forget the bathroom(s). Trust me, you’ll thank me later for this. Your Superbowl bathroom should not be without the following;

  • A burning candle (please be safe about it especially if there will be kids or drunk adults around.
  • Fresh hand towels (2 or 3 and change them out every hour or so as needed)
  • An empty trash bin with a liner (the liner is key here – later you can throw out other people’s trash without having a germ meltdown)
  • Hand soap (this doesn’t need an explanation)
  • Air freshener – out in the OPEN where people can SEE it (hopefully they will use it)
  • Copious amounts of toilet tissue – best placed in a basket or bin so folks aren’t rummaging through your cabinets in a panic)

Killeen Ranks 9th Best Performing City in Texas

Posted: 12/10/2013
Author: Jenna Weynand

KILLEEN, Texas – The Milken Institute released its annual Best-Performing Cities index last week ranking the Killeen – Temple – Fort Hood MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area) as the ninth best performing MSA in Texas and 51st best performing MSA in the nation. Out of 200 large cities ranked nationally, the Killeen – Temple – Fort Hood MSA ranked third in the nation for five-year wages and salaries growth and eighth in the nation for five-year job growth.

These rankings show an improvement of three spots in the state from 12th in 2012 to ninth this year and 12 spots in the nation from 63rd last year to 51st in 2013. The study analyzes and ranks 379 MSAs, dividing them into small and large cities. The small cities list ranked 179 MSAs with a population less than 256,000 and the large cities list ranked 200 MSAs with a population of more than 256,000.  With a population of 420,375, the Killeen – Temple – Fort Hood MSA was included on the large cities list where ranking 51st is a significant accomplishment considering 140 of the MSAs on this list have a larger population.

“Several aspects of this report are important, in my view,” said John Crutchfield, President/CEO of the Greater Killeen Chamber of Commerce. “First, our three-county MSA is among the smallest in the nation and we are still able to demonstrate very competitive economic results and have improved our position from last year. Second, this study ranks us third in the nation, out of 200 MSAs, in the category of five year wage and salary growth. These are very positive trends.”

The Milken Institute produces their Best-Performing Cities index annually to objectively measure which U.S. metropolitan areas are promoting economic vitality and to show where employment is stable and expanding, wages and salaries are increasing and economies and businesses are thriving. This report provides a fact-based, comprehensive metric system that highlights the job, wage and technology trends that shape current and future prospects.

Due to the state’s technology and energy assets, Texas cities fared well in the rankings with the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos MSA claiming the top spot in the nation, followed by Dallas-Plano-Irving at seventh and Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown at eighth. Other Texas cities that ranked higher than Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood are San Antonio-New Braunfels at 12, Fort Worth-Arlington at 16, Corpus Christi at 17, Laredo at 22 and El Paso at 35.

The full report can be viewed at http://www.best-cities.org/bestcities.taf.
