Has anyone heard anything about progress on this building?

The website is Oaksoncaroline.com.

People are willing to pay! 25% pre-sold after 1 month. It just goes to show that Houstonians appreciate quality construction (cast in place concrete, post tension system flooring).

Here is their website-oaksoncaroline.com

Richardyoo: I'm not going to waste my time engaging in a pointless banter in response to your latest entry BUT I will say this; you should be ashamed of calling agents "entitled" and "lazy" simply because we feel it's right that we get paid an industry standard fee for services rendered!

As an agent myself, I am very offended when I read entries such as this! Asking the agent to give up a portion of the commission on the buying end...really?! Localtraveler, what line of work are you in and how would you feel if a client asked you for a discount on your services? And you are not even paying the 3%!!

As far as the cash deal is concerned, I second diggity's opinion....a cash deal does not save the agent much time at closing, nor does it have much impact on the financing end of things giving that most competent and experienced agents make sure that their clients are prequalfied and in a position to purchase a home at the start of their interaction.

Localtraveler, you get what you pay for so don't whine if you find an agent to give you a "kick-back" and it turns out that you get "discounted" services in return!

Being a new-comer to Houston is both overwhelming and exciting at the same time. It seems like just yesterday that I stepped off the plane from Denmark and on to the sizzling tarmac at IAH.....yet it's been 18 years now!

Since then I have watched Houston turn into a wonderful, diverse, sophisticated, multicultural city with a non pretentious and approachable vibe! In fact, I decided to go into residential real estate as a profession so I could help others acclimate and enjoy living in our "melting pot" of a city!

So newbies, leave your preconceived notions about Houston at the immigration control and start enjoying everything that houston has to offer!

Oh, and a few tidbits about Houston.......

-Houston was the last major metropolis to enter the recession and the first one out.

-Houston has one of the most comprehensive performing art venues in the US.

-Houston ranks in the top 3 of major cities with most trees.

They claim to have pre-sold 40% of the units. I guess the EB-5 foreign investor visa is paying off!

They even had a party to celebrate this past week.
