100 THINGS TO DO WITHIN 100 MILES OF HOUSTON

The real estate market activity in this area is characterized in large part by recreational properties, second homes, retirement homes and transitional land. Upper income individuals are buying and developing impressive country estates often with equine or cattle breeding facilities. Vineyards are becoming popular. A related trend is for primary residences with agricultural exemptions in order to avoid annual ad valorem taxes of $50,000 and more in Houston.

The just completed portion of the Grand Parkway (SH 99) on the west and north sides of the Houston Metro area is rapidly pushing development to the northwest.

The primary direction of Houston’s growth is west and north. IH 45 (north to Dallas) US 290 (northwest to Austin) and IH 10 (west to San Antonio) are the main arteries serving the Northwest side of Houston. The counties on either side of these freeways for a distance of up to 100 miles from downtown Houston (two hour drive) represent the prime potential for rural property investment.

If you have ever read even a single issue of Texas Monthly Magazine, you know the thought of owning a little piece of Texas is in the back of your mind. But how to get started? Well, now you are on the right track. Let’s go look at some land.

“Just bought a nice place south of Huntsville with the help of our realtor, Albert Allen. He was a pleasure to work with. Although my wife and I had some trouble with decision making early on, Al was patient. He is very knowledgeable about rural property around Houston. I appreciated that, after listening to us, he didn’t waste our time. He showed us properties that were real prospects which met our needs and respected our limits. When we found what we wanted, Al guided us through an atypical and complicated closing process. We couldn’t have been happier with Albert Allen as our realtor. A real professional. Highly recommended.”

– James Duncan

“Mr. Albert Allen,
You are a very kind and trustworthy man who believes in HELPING others. The way you spoke about your Mother was most impressive. I trusted you with a key to my home along with permission to enter without me being present. You went above and beyond to sell two separate properties of mine and if I should ever have any more to sell, you can bet I’ll call you first. Wishing you the very best in your new adventure. May God Bless you, your wife, and family.”

-Kathryn Truehitt

“Mr. Allen went that extra mile to sell my property for the amount I asked. At times it felt as though I was his only client even though I wasn’t. Mr. Allen was always available to answer questions and give me guidance 24/7. This Realtor certainly has his client’s best interests in mind.”

– Helen Jones

“Albert handled all aspects of the sale of my property in New Ulm efficiently and expediently. I could not have asked for a more knowledgeable agent.

He was always ‘Johnny on the spot’ especially since my residence is 450 miles away. I am proud to recommend Albert to anyone purchasing or selling property.”

– Barbara Edmond

“After listing a property for sale with Albert, he found a buyer in a short period of time. He handled everything professionally including coordinating an appraisal and a survey, and communicating with a government body and the title company as necessary. Things went well and I would feel comfortable with him handling any future real estate purchases or sales for me.”

– John Trow

I was appointed to the City of Houston Real Estate Department & Harris County Real Estate Department in 1980 – 1991 and I was honored to have met Albert Allen at SRWA functions. He was highly and still is, respected among his colleagues/appraisers and other professionals. He is among the best in the field of real estate!

– George Benavides, SR

I worked for Al Allen many years ago and always found him to be one of the most knowledgeable and professional appraisers I knew. He was the President of the Society of Real Estate Appraisers and later became the President of the IRWA, and worked tirelessly to further the professionalism and public concept of the members of those organizations. He has been an instructor of real estate and eminent domain appraisal classes, sometimes without pay, in order to further the educations of those who needed the classes during times of economic adversity. I am happy to have benefitted from Al’s influence and still consider him to be a friend.
