Lake Travis Vacation Homes get National Exposure
Austin and Lake Travis enjoyed the national spotlight when The Travel Channel aired an episode of Vacation Home Search, featuring waterfront homes on Lake Travis. The Travel Channel chose Austin for its growing national reputation for a healthy economy, vibrant social scene and picturesque scenery, and cited Lake Travis as one of the most popular outdoor recreation areas in Texas.
 The Travel Channel chose Mick to host the film crew from Authentic Entertainment because of his expertise in Lake Travis real estate. Mick routinely tours waterfront properties with clients in "The Office", his 43-foot yacht. This unique insider's tour of the lake often includes cruising through Devil's Cove and wraps up with dinner or cocktails at a boat-up restaurant. This unique aspect of Mick's real estate practice caught the attention of The Travel Channel.
The Lake Travis episode of Vacation Home Search is now airing in re-runs - check your local listings! Locally, the Travel Channel is on Time Warner Cable, channel 33.

Most home purchase agreements have clauses that deal with termites. After the agreement is ratified, a termite inspection is arranged. Before the closing can occur, the sellers must be able to produce papers signed by a licensed exterminator stating that the house is free of infestation and that any termite damage has been repaired.
Before you sign an agreement to buy or sell a home, you should read the termite clause and be sure that you understand it. Who selects the exterminator and pays for the inspection? If bugs are found, who pays for the treatment? Are the sellers obligated to repair any damage and have they placed a limit of the dollar amount they will spend on those repairs? If treatment is required, the buyers may want a chance to discuss the options with the pest control company, especially if someone in the family is sensitive to the chemicals used to control the termites. Ask about the exterminator's guarantees or service contract options.
