* Mortgage calculator – A link to a pared-down, free, no-ads mortgage calculator created by a good hearted techie years ago. It will let you move sliders of every possible variable without capturing your information to market services at you.  Please note about estimating ownership costs…you may want to talk with Cynthia about caveats to what you see in listings. Estimated taxes in listings can be…wonky.

* The public search side of Unlock MLS (Austin Board of Realtors’ search system). Search with any system you like and are used to using.  Many of them are great.  Many clients choose to have Cynthia email or text search results as well, crafted to fit the right stage of looking.

* City of Austin utilities – Click around the not-so-great City site or just call 311 to learn about the different trash can sizes, alternative energy programs, energy conservation rebates if you swap out certain appliances, and more.

* Travis County Appraisal District – Check out taxes by address.

* Austin Chronicle – The Chronicle is our go-to source for information about City politics.

*Consumer Protection Form – Texas Real Estate Commission Consumer Protection Notice. 

*Texas Real Estate Commission form – Texas Real Estate Commission Information on Brokerage Services.
