FEATURED PROPERTIES
11214 CAT SPRINGS | ANAQUA SPRINGS RANCH | Offered at $1,750,000 This custom-built haven sits pretty, playing hard-to-get with San Antonio and Boerne—it’s like the VIP section of the Hill Country. Impeccably cared for, because who wants a needy home? A master suite so enormous it’s big enough to host a party. Incredible pool and landscaping. Entertainment areas where the only thing seasonal is your excuse not to host. Backs to a tranquil creek for privacy that says, “Mind your own business.”
14 VENICE COURT | THE DOMINION | Offered at $1,390,000 A modern classic that scoffs at ordinary homes. Bedrooms so spacious, they practically have their own zip codes, each flaunting a private en suite (because sharing is so last season). Gorgeous fixtures that outshine your taste in friends. Upstairs, a game room for adulting... or not. Step outside to a backyard that puts nature to shame — pool, waterfall, fireplace, and grilling area.

WHY HIRE AN ARCHITECT? HIRING an architect is a wise decision for several compelling reasons. Architects bring a unique blend of artistic vision and technical expertise to the table. Local Architects, such as myself, can translate your ideas and lifestyle needs into a well-thought-out design, considering aspects such as spatial functionality, aesthetics, and future adaptability. ARCHITECTS — also possess a deep understanding of codes and regulations. Navigating these complexities can be challenging for someone without architectural expertise. An architect ensures that your house complies with local regulations, securing the necessary permits and approvals, thereby preventing potential legal issues down the line. EFFICIENT — space utilization is a hallmark of good architectural design. Architects have the skill to optimize the use of space, ensuring that every square foot serves a purpose. This is particularly valuable in residential design where maximizing functionality without sacrificing aesthetics is crucial. Furthermore, architects can help you integrate sustainable and energy-efficient features into your home and taking full advantage of the site amenities. They are knowledgeable about eco-friendly materials, passive design strategies, and technologies that can reduce your environmental footprint and save on long-term energy costs. This not only benefits the environment but also enhances the overall value of your property. COLLABORATING — with an architect also streamlines the construction process. They act as intermediaries between you and the builders, managing the project to ensure that the design is executed as envisioned. This helps prevent misunderstandings, delays, and costly errors during construction. When you decide to hire an architect they bring expertise, creativity, and a strategic approach to the design and construction process, ultimately delivering a home that reflects your lifestyle, complies with regulations, and stands as a testament to thoughtful and functional design. VALUE — Hiring an architect is a strategic investment that significantly adds value to any project. Their ability to translate clients’ aspirations into functional, aesthetically pleasing designs is unparalleled. Beyond the tangible aspects, architects contribute to the overall coherence and identity of a project, creating spaces that enhance the quality of life for occupants. From concept to completion, architects serve as invaluable guides, navigating the complexities of design, permitting, and construction, ultimately delivering a project that exceeds expectations and stands the test of time.

WEALTH Protecting Your Family, Income, and Assets Constructing Your Family Risk Management Plan 3 PART SERIES – PART 1
Rudd Insurance Group, LLC
Smarter Insurance. By Design.
Tailored Expertise. Comprehensive Approach. Ultimate Discretion.
INSURANCE, SAFE TO SAY it’s not anyone’s favorite subject, especially in the current environment with premiums increasing at a rapid pace, carriers leaving markets, and underwriting tightening. It is one of those aspects of the financial picture that often gets passed over once it is established and set on auto pilot. However, it plays such a pivotal role in protecting those financial assets worked so tirelessly to accumulate. It must be reviewed and evolve as your financial picture evolves. Linda Rudd has been in Financial Services for over 30 years assisting clients with various aspects of their financial needs including Private Banking, Trust, Lending, and Insurance. She is passionate about helping clients make informed decisions and establish a solid risk management plan to protect their family, income, and assets. This involves a process of discovery to determine needs, concerns, and exposures. The High Value Market has a unique set of both opportunities and challenges that require a thorough, experienced Agent to maneuver through the process, both to establish the plan and monitor it over time. INDUSTRY UPDATE The insurance industry is currently in a hard cycle. What does that mean? Basically, due to a layering of rising costs for claims (vehicles, car parts, home repairs, building costs) combined with unprecedented catastrophic weather events over the last several years carriers have experienced declining and most often negative earnings. For the first 10 months of 2023 alone there were 25 separate billion-dollar plus weather and climate disasters in the US. As a result, carriers across the country are raising premiums, limiting coverages, and is some cases not writing certain risks at all or going out of business. This will continue to impact the industry in the near-term future. Given the state of the industry and the ever-increasing complexity of maneuvering through insurance product and coverage options, an Independent Agent is more critical than ever. As opposed to a captive carrier, which is basically one option, an Independent Agent has access to many carriers to vet out the option that best fits the client’s needs. The carrier that offered the most competitive and comprehensive option last year might not be the same this year.

TIME FOR A STRATEGY What does a risk management strategy look like? It starts with a comprehensive review of the policies currently in place to evaluate levels of coverage, optional coverages, deductibles, and exposures. It includes a thorough review of the market to determine if better options are available. Finally, it involves execution plus ongoing review and analysis to make sure it grows with the client. No need to wait for renewals, this can be done at any time. In future issues learn specifics about the most common gaps in insurance and specialty insurance options available.

STYLE INTRODUCING
Crafting Sanctuaries You’ll Love: A Local Designer’s Top Tips LUXURIOUS LINENS: ELEGANCE MEETS COMFORT Start by purchasing new bed linens. I exclusively recommend the comfort and timeless elegance of French flax linen. Renowned for its superior quality, this bedding is crafted exceptionally soft and durable. French flax linen’s breathability ensures that you will stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. (Trust me: it’s pure magic.) My all-time favorites: Society of Wanderers. I am so enamored with these bed linens that I built Honey Mercantile’s bedding department around them. They are as gorgeous as they are cozy. VINTAGE TREASURES: HISTORY AND CONNECTION Next, infuse your space with something from the past. This can be a family heirloom or something you acquire to become one! Nothing injects more character and personality than an antique rug, sideboard, or even something as simple as a lamp. My pick? The one-of-a-kind Danish, antique settee, reupholstered in vintage Ralph Lauren designer suiting fabric with exquisite piping detail. Reimagine new uses for old things. Some antiques appreciate in value over time and can be investment pieces. Even if they don’t, they’re sure to be conversation pieces.

them. Choosing environmentally friendly cleaning solutions is not only safer for your living space but also contributes to a healthier planet. Eco-friendly products rely on non-toxic solvents that don’t harm the surfaces where they are applied. Children and animals are particularly vulnerable to the hazardous toxins in “traditional” cleaning productions. Choosing beautiful refillable bottles is not only responsible but easier on the eye.
