Welcome to the Beautiful Clear Lake Area! Nestled in southeast Texas, midway between downtown Houston and Galveston, the Clear Lake Area is the absolute best of both worlds. This location provides the stimulation of big city life within a 30-minute drive and equal accessibility to tropical beaches. You can also enjoy Galveston Bay, which borders on the east side of the Clear Lake area. The more than 150,000 residents of nine separate municipalities enjoy a diversified economic structure with a strong base of aerospace, high-tech, petrochemical, commercial fishing and boating industries-just to name a few!  |  | | | | |
 Clear Lake City is a master-planned residential area, annexed by Houston more than 20 years ago. Its residents maintain a strong sense of local community and it is home to the NASA/Johnson Space Center. Another community, League City, lies on the south shore of Clear Lake and is the most progressive area for new growth and development. It is home to the master- planned community of South Shore Harbour, which includes a 27 -hole golf course, fitness center, convenient shopping and a wonderful family atmosphere. The historic district of League City is charming for its shops and beautiful park area. The Clear Lake Area offers its residents all the amenities of a large city with the casual charm of a small town by the water. Originally a fishing and agricultural community, the region now encompasses many thriving business communities and family oriented neighborhoods. There are many annual events to enjoy such as the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the Christmas Boat Parade on Clear Lake or the hot air balloons at the Ballunar Liftoff Festival at NASA-JSC - just to name a few! As a realtor and more importantly a long time resident, let me be your guide to helping you make this wonderful area the place you call home!

Agency >Who Pays the Commission
Does it cost the homebuyer more to be represented by a buyer's agent who serves their interests exclusively? No, because the listing agent splits the sales commission, which is customarily paid by the seller of the home, with the buyer's agent. The sales commission split is usually 50-50, but the listing agent and buyer's agent will sometimes make another agreement and split the commission unequally.
There is one very unusual circumstance in which the homebuyer might pay a commission to their buyer's agent. The real estate agent might show the buyer a local "for sale by owner" (FSBO) home which the client decides to purchase. In most cases, the FSBO seller who is presented with a qualified buyer is glad to pay the buyer's agent a reduced fee of about 3 percent, or half of a normal sales commission. But the FSBO seller could stubbornly refuse to pay the buyer's agent any commission whatsoever. In that case, the buyer's agent would legitimately expect the buyer to pay the sales commission, in fair exchange for the agent finding the FSBO home and negotiating a successful transaction.
