The best thing about Building Surveying is the variety of people, buildings and places we are privileged to meet and see around.

Real Estate: Santa Barbara, California June 2024 Part of my business philosophy has always been to travel to different locations and meet real estate professionals to build business alliances, learn about their markets, and determine whether my clients would like to own properties in those markets. Over 5000 years ago, the Chumash people settled in the central coast region and believed they were the caretakers of the Western Gate of the Pacific, now considered the American Rivera. The air is fresh and cool as it passes through the ocean to the Santa Ynez Mountains, which have the best-quality climates for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. The unique climate has made the region a prime location for vineyards and wineries, adding to its charm and economic potential. One of Santa Barbara's many financial advantages is its low Property Tax Rate, which is 1.3% of home value versus 2.17% in Travis County. This makes Santa Barbara an attractive option for investing in resort-style real estate. For a bit of history, Julie Child, a famous cookbook author, said Santa Barbara reminded her of the South of France and decided to spend the rest of her life there. If you're considering the potential benefits of owning real estate in Santa Barbara or the Central Coast, let me know, and I will help you find the best person to represent your vision. The possibilities are endless, and the future is bright.  #shurrrealestate #sothebys #itsashurrthing

Interesting post about the making of Bill Marriott's biography. I enjoyed designing the cover of that book: https://lnkd.in/gmA27xZ3

Texas remains one of our most represented states for managed properties, with 11 locations now under management (... more news coming soon!), and for good reason: while new inventory is developed at a relatively fast clip, demand is naturally occurring and continues to generally grow. Prudent operators will remain focused on guest demographics, positioning properties to substantiate rate and right size the supporting expense structure for sustained growth.
