Working at a title company allows me to meet a variety of folks. We are seeing more and more people move to our county. It usually starts with a member of the family having a hunting lease who falls in love with the hill country. Or a family will have stopped at one of our local eateries on the way to or from some place else. They take a little tour of the town and county roads and determine this is the place they need to settle down and raise their children.
Here are a few comments I've heard during closings from new property owners:
Husband: Well, honey. Now that we are the proud owners of a ranch (35 acres), what is the first thing you plan on doing?
Wife: I'm thinking we need to discuss landscape options.
Wife: I'm so excited to have the opportunity to come to this town and make it more like Houston.
Husband: I thought you wanted to get away from the city?
Wife: Yes, but there isn't anything to do here.
(I'm afraid that relationship ended in a divorce.)
Man: I am planning on buying some horses and cows to put on my property. What is the first thing I need to do?
Lee (closer): I believe I would check the fences or build new ones around your property.
Man: Why do I need fences? The animals should know to stay on my property.
Wonder if I should mention the possibility of Indians still living in these parts 'round here at the next closing?
