Saving Energy with Nansulate
November 21st, 2011 Categories: Buying Real Estate, Home Improvement & Design, Joey Condon, Local Interest, Real Estate News
I found a great Home Improvement Idea that won’t break the bank!!
Your first question when you read the title is probably; “What is Nansulate® ?” Here is the simple definition from the manufacturer….”Nansulate® Crystal is a patented, one-of-a-kind, clear thermal insulation coating for concrete or clay tile roofs, slate roofs and asphalt or wood shingle sloped roofs that lowers your energy bill and keeps your roof looking beautiful and new.” 
I ran across this website while looking for a roofing product to seal roofs that have a small hole or something simple. This is what I found. At approx. $85/gal, the initial cost is a little hard to swallow, but the end benefit is reported to be great!
Zoom in on the shingle….can you see the difference? It seals all the granules and makes the roof able to withstand high winds and hard rain.
The manufacture states that the average energy savings after 3 years is 46%. Click here for the case study.
We are in Central Texas, Brazos Valley, College Station/Bryan. What affect would it have here? I found a case study in Dallas!!!!
Look at the Attic Temps!!!
It is a totally Green product that falls in line with Aggie values and what everyone should be thinking about when looking to the future!!
This would be a great opportunity for home owners to make their house more energy efficient and if you have your house listed, it would definitely be more appealing to buyers. I know my buyers would be definitely move faster on a house that is more energy efficient.
If you have any questions about this or any questions on the market here in Aggieland, feel free to contact me!

November 15th, 2011 Categories: Buying Real Estate, Home Improvement & Design, Kids, Family & Personal Stuff, Real Estate News
When I am out there showing properties in Bryan/College Station, I hear tons of rumors and ideas about growth in our community. Lately there have been many rumors about what is going on towards the back of Castlegate in south College Station. Since I sell a lot of homes in south College Station as well as living there myself, I wanted to get the real scoop so I could be knowledgeable when my clients ask me about what is going on in Castlegate. I went straight to the horses’ mouths, and interviewed Wallace and Dusty Phillips of Castlegate Communities to find out more about the new development!
For more information about Castlegate and any home in Bryan/College Station, give me, Farrah Spears, a call at 979-229-0919.

New Home Inspection Technology in Bryan/College Station
November 3rd, 2011 Categories: Home Improvement & Design, Real Estate News
Today I learned something new concerning home inspections. Clifton Cobbs of Sun Star Real Estate Inspections trained myself and some other Century 21, Beal agents about a new technology for home inspections using infared devices. These infared inspections can detect areas where air is penetrating a home or leaking out of a home as well as water detection in walls, ceilings, or floors. Watch the video to learn more and see a demonstration, or for more information on infared inspections, call Clifton at 832-594-0281
For this and all real estate tips, call me, Farrah Spears at 979-229-0919

Saving Energy in Your Bryan College Station Home
February 28th, 2011 Categories: Real Estate News
The average home in Bryan-College Station today consumes twice the amount of power and twice as many electrical outlets as a home in the 1960’s or 1970’s. Weather changes often have a significant impact on the increase in utility costs and regardless of what one may think there are ways to keep those bills steady year round. So….
- Check air conditioning system to make sure it is at the peak operating condition.
- Replace air filters often (at least once a month).
- Keep thermostat no higher than 78 degrees during summer months and 68 degrees during winter months.
- Install a thermostat that automatically adjusts temperature in order to save.
- During the summer be sure to do heat producing tasks (cooking, laundry, dish washing) in the early mornings or late evenings.
- Use microwave over oven if possible.
- Reset water heater between 110 and 120 degrees.
- Keep blinds and shades closed to reduce heat gain in summer and in summer open them to receive direct sunlight and heat.
- In kitchen, bath and laundry areas use exhaust fans. Read the rest of this entry »

Castlegate Fall Festival 2010
November 16th, 2010 Categories: Kids, Family & Personal Stuff, Real Estate News
What a wondeful day we had last Saturday at the Castlegate Fall Festival. There were fun activities like train rides, a bounce house, face painting and great food!
The College Station fire department came out and let the children climb into the fire engine which was a favorite for a lot of kids! Unfortunately the petting zoo and pony rides did not happen as the company took a wrong turn(to say the least) and ended up in Sugarland!
It was a great event for all, and the evening was capped off by a movie after dark in the park with a showing of the popular movie, “How to Train Your Dragon”.
I am so lucky to sell homes and live in a neighborhood that has events for families to get to meet one another and spend time together!
