"Highly knowledgeable about Lake Conroe property"
"My wife and I recently sold a home in Harbourtown on Lake conroe and purchased a home in Bentwater at the same time. Kathy Barth represented us in both transactions. First Impressions are critical, and we immediately liked Kathy at our initial meeting. She was very personable and patient. I personally researched the Lake conroe market thoroughly, asked lots of questions, looked at lots of houses, and zealously hawked both transactions. Kathy showed significant resiliency in dealing with a buyer/seller of my scrutiny. She is highly knowledgable about Lake Conroe real estate, shows a sincere empathy for her clients, and above all demonstates attention to professionalism. My wife and I walked away from both closings feeling that Kathy had done a great job and that we were fortunate to have found her, not only as a realtor but also as a new friend. One would be hard-pressed to find another realtor in the Lake Conroe area that compares with Kathy Barth".

Time to Move >When Your House Gets Too Big
As the Baby Boomers of the 1950s send their children off to college, they join the part of the market called "empty nesters". At this point they no longer need six bedrooms and three baths, a family room and a gigantic yard. Many "empty nesters" are trading in the family home for something that is smaller, easier to maintain and has the amenities that are important to their more carefree lifestyle.
If you are considering such a move, start out by consulting a good Realtor whom you like and trust. The good news is--- when you sell your primary residence, you are not taxed on your profit if (1) you have lived in the home for two out of the last five years and (2) your gain does not exceed $250,000 as a single taxpayer or $500,000 as a married couple filing jointly. These capital gain exclusions apply whether you "buy up" to a more expensive home or "buy down" to a less expensive one. If you are moving downtown from the suburbs in order to be close to cultural centers, theaters and restaurants, there may be "quality of life" issues, such as noise or parking. Your Realtor can help you find a home that has all the conveniences and amenities you desire.
