What goes into a college budget? Since higher education is more costly than ever, tuition savings is the biggest concern for most parents and students.

Over here at Williamson County Association of REALTORS® (WCAR), we value our ladies in leadership, and it just so happens that all four leaders on our executive committee team are strong, successful women in real estate. This month, we sat down with these incredible leaders to talk all things life, real estate, being a business owner and being a woman in leadership.

We have some wonderful ladies on staff that are vital to our success as an organization, but when they’re not “moving the board” for us here at Lineage, they like to enjoy some good ole fashioned R&R at several local establishments around town. If you’re looking for Mother’s Day plans for your mom, wife, or even yourself (I know we men aren’t the best planners), a few ladies on staff here at Lineage Bank have you covered.

A crystal ball...that is what I wish I had when I started appraising in Williamson County in 1991. I cannot tell you the times I have kicked myself for not buying something when I had the chance. I do not have that crystal ball, but I do have an opinion that I will give in answering the questions I hear so often. What is the market doing? The market has slowed a bit in recent months due to the increased interest rates but is still higher than it was a year ago.
