There are so many factors that must be considered when purchasing a home.  The real value of any property is not the house itself but the location and what the location has to offer.  The school district and school attendance zones should be one of the primary consider actions of the buyer when making a home purchase decision.  This is important for buyers that have family members that will be attending school and buyers that do not.  The buyers that currently do not have family members attending need to consider the schools as it will have a big impact on resale.

Thanks to the effort of the folks at Capital Title, we are pleased to be able to share the 2010-2011 Houston Area School Accountability Ratings report.  This report does a great job of highlighting the specific campuses that fall within the categories of Academically Acceptable; Recognized and Exemplary for the Independent School Districts noted below.

Aldine ISD; Alief ISD; Alvin ISD; Anahuac ISD; Angleton ISD; Barbers Hill ISD; Brazosport  ISD; Channelview ISD; Clear Creek ISD; Cleveland ISD; Columbia-Brazoria ISD; Conroe ISD; Crosby ISD; Cypress-Fairbanks ISD; Damon ISD; Danbury ISD; Dayton ISD; Deer Park ISD; Devers ISD; Dickinson ISD; East Chambers ISD; Fort Bend ISD; Friendswood ISD; Galena Park ISD; Galveston ISD; Goose Creek CISD; Hardin ISD; Hempstead ISD; High Island ISD; Houston ISD; Huffman ISD; Hull-Daisetta ISD; Humble ISD; Katy ISD; Kendleton ISD; Klein ISD; La Marque ISD; La Porte ISD; Lamar CISD; Liberty ISD; Magnolia ISD; Montgomery ISD; Needville ISD; New Caney ISD; North Forest ISD; Pasadena ISD; Pearland ISD; Richards ISD; Royal ISD; Santa Fe ISD; Sheldon ISD; Splendora ISD; Spring ISD; Spring Branch ISD; Stafford ISD; Sweeny ISD; Tarkington ISD; Texas City ISD; Tomball ISD; Waller ISD; Willis ISD.

Condition To Close – USDA, FHA and VA Loans

Posted on January 16, 2012 by Lisa Dempsey

Remember to have your utilities turned on prior to the appraiser’s arrival for inspections if you are buying a home with a USDA, FHA, or VA loan program.  Verify with your agent or the seller of the property that everything is ready to go to avoid potential delays in the closing process.  Another great tip from your Mission Home Finding agent.
