Legislative successes that will change Texas real estate forever Texas REALTORS® had several big wins in the 2015 legislative session. Here are some highlights: A real estate 2-for-1 on the ballot On November 3, Texas voters will have the chance to permanently ban taxes on the sale of real estate and to increase the homestead exemption from $15,000 to $25,000. Brokers, you’re about to save money House Bill 7 by Rep. Drew Darby (R-San Angelo) and Sen. Jane Nelson (R-Flower Mound), which is waiting for Gov. Abbott’s approval, would repeal a $200 annual “professional fee” that Texas brokers—and several other professionals— pay to hold a license. More real estaterelated bills The following bills related to TAR’s legislative priorities were also approved and now await Gov. Abbott’s signature: Homeowners associations House Bill 2489 by Rep. Jeff Leach (RPlano) keeps HOAs out of the propertymanagement business. The bill protects property owners’ rights by clarifying that HOAs don’t have the
authority to screen, approve, or deny prospective tenants. The bill also explicitly states that prospective tenants don’t have to provide a credit report or lease application to the HOA. Patent trolls While patent reform is largely a federal issue, a lack of Congressional action has forced state legislative bodies to search for solutions. Senate Bill 1457 by Sen. Robert Nichols (R-Jacksonville) prohibits a person from sending bad-faith claims of patent infringement to an end user who is located in Texas or doing business in Texas. Property management House Bill 2404 by Rep. Rodney Anderson (R-Grand Prairie) allows a landlord to deduct the charge of re-keying a security device from a tenant’s deposit when the tenant breaches a lease. Senate Bill 267 by Sen. Charles Perry (RLubbock) clearly states that cities and counties may not prohibit a property owner (or the owner’s agent) from choosing whether to rent housing to someone based on the person’s lawful source
BEaUTIFUL aCrEaGE
of income, including a federal housing choice voucher (i.e., Section 8 vouchers). Property-tax reform Senate Bill 1760 by Sen. Brandon Creighton (R-Conroe) requires a supermajority vote of a local taxing jurisdiction before the jurisdiction may increase the propertytax rate. Windstorm insurance For the first time in years, there has been significant progress on windstorm insurance reform. The Texas Windstorm Insurance Agency (TWIA) is a quasi-state agency that serves as the insurer of last resort in 14 coastal counties, but it does not have the resources it needs to be actuarially sound. With the lack of private-market insurers in those counties, TWIA has become the only option—and that is not sustainable. Senate Bill 900 by Sen. Larry Taylor (R-Friendswood) and House Sponsor Dr. Greg Bonnen (RFriendswood): • Implements actuarially sound insurance principles by mandating that TWIA have enough funding every year to pay Probably Maximum Loss on a 100-year event.
• Ensures administrative accountability by giving the Texas Department of Insurance Commissioner the ability to privatize TWIA management, if necessary. • Provides equal representation of all stakeholders on the Board of Directors by changing the composition of the Board of Directors from a 5/4 industry/ coastal representation to a 3-3-3 (with new representation from inland areas). • Promotes private market solutions by requiring biennial studies of market incentives to promote voluntary participation in the wind- (and hail-) insurance market. No increased fees for home-equity loans House Joint Resolution 131, which would have allowed homeequity loan fees to be increased, died in committee. The Texas Association of REALTORS® will lead a study to evaluate the future of home-equity lending in Texas. The final steps Gov. Abbott has until June 21 to sign or veto the proposed laws. If he doesn’t take action, the bills become law on June 21 automatically.

RE/MAX Centex Welcomes Kim Scoggins to Team
It‘s not often that Walt and Denise Fair get to welcome someone who needs no introduction (as most RE/MAX Centex agents know her well), but Kim Scoggins has passed her licensing exam and joins her husband, Jody, and her mother-in-law, Debbie, as the newest member of the RE/ MAX Centex Scoggins Real Estate Team. She feels blessed to be part of a team that has such deep roots in the Waco area and an abundance of experience in real estate. Kim Scoggins, RE/MAX Centex in Waco Kim grew up in Woodway and graduated from Midway High School in 2003. Thereafter she continued her education at the University of Texas in Arlington and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. She married her high school sweetheart, Jody, in 2008. While in college, she worked
years at Mountainview, Jody and Kim were blessed with little Emma. Kim decided to retire from teaching and join the family business and spend more time with her daughter. Jody and Kim attend High Point Church, where they teach pre-school children once each month.
for RE/MAX Centex Platinum Producer Don Short for two years and somehow avoided picking up his bad habits! Probably because she gained perspective by also working for Don’s fellow Platinum Producer colleague and her mother-in-law, Debbie Scoggins. After graduation from college, Kim worked as a teacher at Walt’s old alma mater, Mountainview Elementary, where she was named Teacher of the Year in 2014. After five
Kim wanted to become a Realtor because of the rewarding feeling of being a part of helping families find their dream home, where they will be building their families and creating enduring memories. She says “I don’t really feel like I have a job, because I enjoy going to work every day and love doing what I do!” I love RE/MAX Centex because of the awesome owners :) and our very knowledgeable broker! They are very supportive in everything we do and really strive to help us grow.”

*Make more of less. Hardwood flooring accents can help you make the most of a smaller space. In the bedroom, place hardwood flooring around and above your bed to create a headboard. This creates a familiar look and ties a room together without taking up extra space. Another idea is to use hardwood flooring to create an accent wall. This makes the room
Creative options still abound if you’re a homeowner who literally remains grounded with their flooring. When deciding how to decorate an expansive room, for example, different colors or species of hardwood can be used to section off separate areas - especially in open spaces commonly found in loft style and other contemporary construction.

Here are just a few of the many considerations for creatively using hardwood flooring:
feel larger by focusing attention to one wall. *Choose the right flooring. It is important to choose the right hardwood flooring for specific applications. Lighter-weight products - usually 5/16inch to 1/2-inch thick - are easier to install and keep in place over time. Flooring types and textures such as acacia or handscraped styles add a distinctive character to rooms. The Virginia Mill Works line from Lumber Liquidators features a variety of choices well suited for this.

*Ceilings to look up to. If you want your ceiling to take center stage, it’s best to keep the floor neutral and muted. For cohesion, use the same tone on both the ceiling and floor. In an all-white room, try a wooden ceiling with a matte finish for a complementary look.

Breakfast Nook
e all need that jolt of caffeine or punch of protein in the mornings. But too many times we find ourselves inhaling our breakfast, coffee or juice before rushing out the door.
Incorporating a breakfast nook into your kitchen area may persuade you to slow things down in the morning. And by adding some elegant, contemporary design elements, you may even find yourself starting your breakfast earlier and earlier in the morning just so you can enjoy this new part of your kitchen.
PLANNING YOUR NOOK
An effective coffee nook is both functional and fashionable. You want to be able to soak in all of its aesthetically pleasing nuances without being inconvenienced to scuttle back and forth to the kitchen for food, linens and silverware. Storage is key to achieving this, as a few cabinets will allow you to hide away coffee grinders, forks, spoons and serving trays. Generally, a nook is not a space for entertaining a large number of guests. A small café-style gives an ample amount of seating, depending on how you plan to use the nook. If you choose to add a higher-style serving shelf in the nook, you can find stools or highrise chairs for your seating options.

STOCKING YOUR NOOK
Depending on your caffeinated pleasure, you can stock your nook full of your favorite grounds, single-serving cups or fresh beans. And don’t forget the
coffee cups. Your nook can be an all-inclusive spot that doesn’t require you to make several trips back and forth to the kitchen. Many nook lovers also stock their areas with cereals, fruits, bowls and silverware to add to the convenience factor.
DESIGNING YOUR NOOK
Your nook does not need to be a direct extension of your kitchen. In fact, choosing a color or wallpaper that is in stark contrast to your kitchen will help in creating a unique,
distinct area. If you’re seeking to convey a cozy, country feel, find antique frames made from old barn wood to display your artwork. A more contemporary look may involve accentuating the area with stainless steel pieces and clean, modern lines.
