The Do-Over:
Opening up a century-old home By Cynthia Lescalleet For The Leader The term “open floor plan� has a far more expanded -- and literal -- meaning at a renovated 1912 Craftsman bungalow in Houston Heights. Within its reworked, slightly expanded floor plan, an entire back wall of the home now features full-height glass doors that fully retract. When opened, a seamless transition links interior and exterior spaces, which include a large covered porch, ground-level deck and adjacent landscaped pool area. Abundant landscaping further transforms the outdoors as a centerpiece that’s tucked into the “L�-shaped footprint. While still looking like a classic porch-entry Heights home from the street, its interior and outback was transformed by 2013 renovations. The yearlong project repurposed and repositioned existing rooms, added 700sq. ft. for a master suite, side entrance and laundry room, and smoothed out the flow in a floor plan -- and grounds -- left a bit choppy by two rounds of renovations by previous owners. If there’s a theme to the now 3,300-sq.-ft. home’s redesign, it appears to be about making connections: nature with structure, old with new, past with future, local with global, and modernism with historic. The design also bridges cultural influences from the owners’ international backgrounds and shared world travel. Rather than start from scratch, the project reflects the couple’s preference “to work with what we had and find costeffective, non-destructive ways to enhance,� said Laura LopezMarks, a veteran marketing exec, author -- and developing artist. She and husband Lewis
When open, the back wall of retractable glass doors seamlessly links indoor-outdoor living.

Marks, an energy business consultant, share an appreciation of older properties and architecture. They own and lease out several Heights homes as well as an historic commercial building downtown. This has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983 and as a Houston Landmark property since 1998. Lots of lot (and work) The couple and their young daughter lived about five blocks away and had been seeking a place with a little more room and a pool. They had long-envisioned an “L�shaped Asian-inspired home with indoor-outdoor emphasis. Although they abandoned that project in 2008, she said, the vision remained. In 2011, she toured the triplelot property with house-hunting friends who later passed on buying it.
“When I saw it, I started replanning it,� she recalls. It held promise as a better version of their long-held design. One of the challenges was the design process itself, she said, which took about a year, followed by a year of construction in 2013. The family shared the home’s cozy garage apartment during the project. Having lived in the home for a year, Lopez-Marks delights in how the revisions integrated the various spaces and moods. While the retractable glass wall is a favorite space, she said, so too is the “pass-through� the streamlined-but-original front rooms (with their wavy glass windows) and the openedup space shared by a modern kitchen and great room. Lined in original shiplap boards harvested elsewhere in the home, the pass-through “signifies moving from the past to the future, the old to the new,� she said.
Open door policy “We use all the outdoor spaces,� she said. “Each one transports you somewhere else.� The front porch, for example, time travels back to a slower
Redfin focuses on customers first and leading online tools By Christina Martinez Christina@theleadernews.com Putting the customer first and reinventing the way you buy or sell a home is exactly what Redfin is all about. Redfin is a company of real estate agents, naturally, but also a team of software engineers who build online tools to help with the list or search process and to create results rather than a headache. Redfin got its start inventing map-based search and growing their company around this base. The company is data driven and offers consumers online tools that cater to the urgency of the market. Last year the company surveyed nearly 1,000 recent home buyers and sellers to see what type of change would improve the buying and selling process. A portion of the survey found that buyers, in particular, valued responsiveness in an agent. Consumers showed a marked preference for agents who are responsive and are strong advocates for their clients, even as less expensive, technologybased options become more prevalent and popular in real estate, according to their website. “The Redfin model is all about the customer and deliv-
ering the best possible service,� Broker Irma Jalifi said. “I strive for a deep level of understanding and empathy for my clients in order to best help them navigate buying or selling their home. When you work with Redfin you get great service, but also state-of-the-art technology that empowers you to make educated decisions about your home search.� Along with offering online tools, like a virtual tour of a new home on the market, Redfin’s numbers are a bit different than everyone else. Average commission to list a home is about three percent and Redfin lists for 1.5 percent. Once they close the home sale, Redfin passes the savings back in the form of a refund to the consumer. One other factor that drives their customer service, their agents earn a customer satisfaction based bonus, rather than commission. “Instead of going for the easy sale we fight for the client’s best interests, even when that means telling a client to walk away from a bad deal,� Market Manager and Broker Tara Waggoner said. “Our online tools make the home tour, the listing debut, the escrow process - the whole process - totally transparent and worry free.�
Redfin is constantly improving and creating new technology features to help clients keep up with the demand of the market. Visit their website at www.redfin.com for more information.
The “pass-through� spans updated original spaces at the front of the home and the more modern, opened up area near the home’s back wall of retractable glass doors.

Question:
“The first thing I would have my buyers do is speak to a mortgage professional and start the approval process. Right now, the market is so competitive that when a listing agent receives multiple offers that buyer could be disqualified because they do not have a pre-approval letter. This is very important! It is also important to speak to a mortgage professional to find out the purchase price amount. Often times, buyers do not know what they can afford to purchase. A good mortgage professional will guide them through the process and make price suggestions based on the buyer’s qualifications, credit score and income. Feel free to email or call me for recommendations for mortgage professionals. LSalmons@ marthaturner.com or (832) 868-9453. I have worked with most of these professionals for over 15 years. I always tell my buyers to write down in order their priorities when starting a search for their new home. Priorities may differ from family to family. For example, A buyer with young children might be looking for a home with good schools. Another example, empty-nesters may want a
single-story home, smaller than what they are used to. Their priority might be to downsize. When a buyer prioritizes their needs, my home search is considerably smoother and easier to find because I know exactly what I am searching for on the market. After the approval process and once a buyer prioritizes their needs we are ready to start looking! I have a number of different sources, both public and private, that give me a competitive edge to find the perfect home for my buyers. I even have a source that notifies the buyer as soon as a listing becomes active on the market!” -Leann Salmons Broker Associate Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Lsalmons@marthaturner.com “It’s all about the money! Buyers first should be at least ‘pre-qualified’ for purchase price amount! The term ‘buyers are liars’ comes from this: failure of buyers. They say, ‘Oh sure, we have the money,’ and then ‘fail’ to qualify during the loan application process. Of course, wasting their own, the seller’s and the agent(s) time.” -Asa Weldon Sales Associate Mako Properties asaweldon@gmail.com 832.343.0123 “One of the first issues, if not the first, a prospective buyer should do is think about financing. A realistic assessment of not just what you can afford, but what you would like to spend each month. When you are considering a monthly payment make
sure you include taxes and property insurance in addition to principal and interest. Also, sellers want to minimize their risk when choosing a buyer. Sellers will want to know that you are financially able to buy their home. Having pre-approval for financing from a lender when you tender an offer makes you a much stronger buyer. Your Realtor can recommend lenders if you don’t already have a one. And we can explain or answer questions about how financing
affects the buying process. -Jan Clark, J.D. Boulevard Realty 281-686-0761 janhtx@gmail.com

The back deck, facing the home, highlights the modern glass wall and “clean lines of the future.” The large back porch, meanwhile, “feels like we are in a jungle surrounded by tropical flowers,” she notes in a follow-up account.

Hot Neighborhoods: Affordable housing in Inwood Forest By Betsy Denson betsy@theleadernews.com Looking for a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2,000 square foot house in our area in the low to mid $100,000s? That value is what is drawing people like Ollie Perry and Clint Avila to Inwood Forest, originally a 1960s country club neighborhood for oil executives that has seen its fortunes rise and fall over the years. But the neighborhood is on the upswing thanks to a still robust housing market and a big assist from the city with the purchase of the former Inwood Forest Country Club. Perry and Avila are homeowners who got in ahead of the curve five years ago. Living at the Forrest Lake Townhomes in the Greater Inwood area and through Perry’s involvement with the Greater
Inwood Partnership, they had a good feel for the area. Better than their first realtor who told them “you don’t want to live in that part of town.” When the time came to look for another house with more space, they considered Candlelight Oaks, Forest West, Sheraton Oaks, Antoine Estates and Oaks of Inwood. “After a very exhaustive search we decided to look at a couple of homes in Inwood Forest,” said Perry. “We bought the first one we walked into.” Their home backs up to a little pond and the former Inwood Forest golf course. At night they listen to the toads and in the morning white herons take up residence outside their window. While they paid $109,000 for the house, it is worth about $150,000 now. Perry and Avila
are so enthusiastic about the area they have bought five other properties in the neighborhood which they maintain as rental properties. “We just happened to get into it, but I’ve been really pleased with our renters,” said
Perry, noting that they include a high school principal, an engineer, and an IT executive. “They wanted green space, but they also wanted to be close to work and to town.” In fact, while Perry and Avila were initially drawn to a good
deal, it’s the people they’ve met in the last few years who have reinforced their positive feelings about their area. Perry said more than 70 people recently showed up at White Oak Conference Center for the “New Resident” wine
event hosted by the Greater Inwood Partnership and the Near Northwest Management District. “It’s definitely more social now, and there are more See Inwood, P. 9B

Waltrip High School Band raising funds for National Independence Day Parade trip For The Leader The Waltrip High School Ram Band is reaching out to the local community for help in raising funds to cover costs for its journey to the 2015 National Independence Day Parade to represent Texas. The band is the only Texas high school invited to participate in the national parade, held each year in Washington, D.C, and had been selected Nov. 12 last year. The band had first been nominated by Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee for an invitation in early 2013. According to a press release, Texas Governor Greg
Abbott also signed a proclamation March 15 officially recognizing the Waltrip Ram Band as the state’s sole representative performer at the 2015 National Independence Day Parade. The parade will take place in the heart of the capital, making its way down Constitution Avenue and ending at the National Mall between the White House and the Washington Monument. Currently, the expected cost of the event is slated to be $180,000, which the Ram Band is hoping to raise through sponsorship, donations and contributions. Budgeted costs associated
with the trip will pay for a round trip by a chartered motor coach from Houston to Washington D.C., food and lodging for 170 students and chaperones and bonded security guards. Among the planned events and performances there will be a performance at one of the local national monuments, a performance by the jazz band at another of the indoor venues such as Old Post Office Pavilion, attending the Capitol Fourth Celebration on the Capitol Lawn, a World View Travel escort, a guided night tour of the national monuments and a daytime guided tour of Arlington

Inwood from P. 6B younger people and families,” said Perry. “From my perspective, it’s a very diverse neighborhood as far as what people do, and where they work. We’re an eclectic group.” One person who has been anticipating the resurgence of Inwood Forest is real estate agent Dennie Hodge, who has been in the business for 40 years. “I just knew that we would be rediscovered,” she said. Hodge, who said she’s been selling in Inwood Forest since 1978 when they were building the new homes, now lives there and sells almost exclusively in the Greater Inwood area. “I know so many people there and it’s only twelve minutes from Garden Oaks where I was raised,” she said. Hodge remembers when there used to be an airport on the other side of Alabonson. “The oil executives would fly into the airport and then drive home,” she said. But with the recession of the 1980s, the neighborhood began a decline which wasn’t helped by Tropical Storm Allison which flooded about 75 percent of the neighborhood. Hodge said that there have been several factors that have recently made Inwood Forest an appealing option to new buyers. First is the $27 million Vogel Creek project which has widened the channel, and alleviated flooding in the area. Due to this, the flood maps are in the process of being revised and it’s anticipated that the entire east side of the neighborhood will be removed from the
flood plain. The second was the city’s purchase of the former Inwood Forest Country Club from a developer who certainly wasn’t going to maintain the 223-acre property as green space. “Having a park there is the most wonderful thing in the world,” said Hodge. “There’s always lots of activity.” The White Oak Bayou Hike and Bike trail which now will extend to Alabonson is also a benefit to the area, as well as something that further raises Inwood Forest’s visibility. The buzz about Inwood Forest is indeed spreading. Hodge said that she’s had a few clients from Oak Forest who have sold their 2/1 for $300,000, then purchased a $150,000 house in Inwood Forest. “Recently, there was one totally remodeled home that we got three contracts on right away,” said Hodge. “The winning bid went $10,000 over asking price.” Habitation Realty’s David Hille also sells homes in Inwood Forest. “It’s very unique, not cookie cutter,” he said. “It was a country club community so there was real thought about what the aesthetics look like.” Hille said although values there have gone up 20 percent in five years, it’s a great neighborhood for a first time homeowner. The price per square foot is about $50 to $60. “Compare that to a $400 per square foot price in Montrose,” he said.
