Tyler, Texas MLS for Commercial Property

November 9th, 2010

If you are interested in basing your business out of the ever growing city of Tyler, Texas, you may be interested in working with an MLS for commercial property. This is basically a multiple listing service that describes individual services or exchanges to keep up with commercial property available for sale or lease in the Tyler, Texas and surrounding areas.

Many times, working with both a commercial realtor and an MLS service can cut your searching time in half when trying to find your perfect Tyler, Texas commercial property. It opens a lot more doors to you by introducing you to commercial property that you may not have had access to by just going through a commercial realtor.  These two can work for you hand in hand and offer you even more choices when it comes to finding the most profitable location for your type of business.

It is also possible for you to work on your own with an MLS service. If you choose to keep your commercial realtor and MLS service as two separate methods of finding the right commercial property in Tyler, Texas, that is your prerogative. However, you should have a good working relationship of complete trust with your realtor so that you feel comfortable combining the two. Keep in mind that your realtor can help you even more with information on any commercial property you find through an MLS service. Don’t discredit the importance of an expert for finding the perfect commercial property for you.

Hell House in Tyler a Halloween Christian Takeover

September 17th, 2010
Hell House Tyler Texas

Tyler TX Hell House

Halloween is just around the corner. Tyler Metro Church will open another year of the haunted house, Hell house. In the years past Hell House has been in the middle of the woods and in creepy “haunted” building.

The last year that I went to Hell House, it was all set out side in the middle of the woods. It was really quite freaky riding towards the woods in a carriage. The next thing I knew was a man jumped onto the back of the carriage and was right on my face. I felt like I was going to pass out, he was dressed up in a demon costume and I was not expecting him.

After we got to the beginning of the woods, the man escorted us off the carriage and to a path through the woods. In the middle of the woods there is all different scene set up. As you watch the different stories of men and women dealing with hard times in their lives, you listen to the temptations of the devil. I would not bring a young kid to Hell House because there are very graphic scenes. The most frightening thing about Hell House is that people dressed as demons keep popping up right in your face.

After you have walked through the different scenes you are lead to a dark underground room that resembles a coffin. As the doors open for you to walk out of the coffin the last scene is a scene of Jesus Christ dying for our sins. They talk to you about new life and Jesus washing away our sins. They have people that are willing to pray for people if they are willing. There has been quite a bit of controversy over Hell House’s message. Some people say that they are scarring people into a relationship with Jesus. Hell House staff says that their message is to show how real Hell is, and that we can have life through Christ alone.

There are many ways to help out with Hell House. They open the doors of Tyler metro for anyone to help out. You can be in the different plays, dress up as different creatures or demons. They ask people to be there to pray for visitors that have gone through Hell House. You and your youth groups or church groups can help out in all different ways.

Mexican/Seafood do I dare?

January 1st, 2010

With Tyler being overrun with restaurants and a large number of them being mexican restaurants, it is real easy to overlook a restaurant like the Cancun Cafe. If you are in the mood for mexican food and are bored with the multiple Lugars, it might be time to try something with a little kick. Cancun Cafe is located off of the loop in Tyler across from the Green Acres Bowling Alley. Without the bright lights of Mercados it can be easy to overlook but this is one dining spot in Tyler you don’t want to miss.

Cancun Cafe has quality mexican food and surprisingly enough I’ve found that they also have a large quantity of delicious seafood dishes, and no this isn’t fish tacos or a trout with a jalepeno stuffed down its throat, this is quality seafood dishes with a kick, coupled with great mexican food. The signature dish that I have to suggest that everyone try at least once is their fajitas and snowcrab. I found as odd as this sounds it is one of the tastiest combos I’ve ever tried.

The service is decent although many people have had problems with food arriving late. Since this is not one of the more popular mexican restaurants like On the Border or Mercados, you will not find the crowds you will find packed out the doors as is frequently the case at those places, allowing you to be seated almost immediately. The atmosphere is like that of most of the mexican restaurants in Tyler and is roomy enough to cater to nearly all of your party needs. This is a restaurant that hosts events like karaoke night so if you don’t mind the howling that comes with these events it can be a good night out on the town.

Prices are pretty good, with several dishes under $10, and quantities especially in the fajitas and snowcrab are very generous. When ordering a dish like that you might consider taking a bag to go because I’ve found they often serve more than one can eat. So next time you are eating out, try something new like the Cancun Cafe, as long as you don’t mind the occasional wait for your meal it’ll definately be worth your while.

How Are Granite Countertops Priced?

Tyler Texas Custom Granite Countertops
When remodeling your Tyler home you will want to be sure and get the best price for your different remodeling jobs. One remodel that really makes your house transform into something completely different is upgrading your counter tops to granite. Some people will totally demo out their cabinets and replace them with custom cabinetry. Sometimes all that needs to be done is to add new updated doors. The counter however is almost never originally granite and so by removing an old outdated countertop that may be laminate or some other material and replacing it with granite you will be adding a lot of value to your Tyler homes equity.

You will want to get some ballpark figures on the cost of custom granite countertops. If you are not dealing with the right company they may try to take you for what they think they can get. For instance, just yesterday I was talking with a painter who was telling me about a contractor that was charging $5,000 for a small cabinet painting job that should have really been priced at around $2,000.

By getting bids from a few different granite countertop companies in Tyler TX you will save yourself a lot of money and avoid being taken by a dishonest home contractor. We would like to recommend a custom granite countertop company that is honest and ethical in their business dealings. They price right and will not try and take you for what they think they can get. You will get a quote based on how much the material costs and with industry standard labor costs added on. Hank Pruitt will not attempt to inflate your countertop prices and will educate you on the pricing costs and how the process works.

You Can Be Priced By The Foot or By The Slab

We had a very good experience working with Hank and we really liked how he explained the pricing of the granite countertops. For instance, the stock countertops are priced by the foot and are generally cheaper. The exotic granite slabs are priced by the slab and can be quite a bit more expensive depending on which one you choose. The best way to get an accurate prce on your granite countertop job is to go to the granite slab yard at US Granite and pick out the one you want. Hank will then price the job based on exotic are stock granite. We were able to get by with just two slabs of exotic granite without much left over. This allowed us to not have to spend too much because of a ton of left over material.

When they came over to install the counter tops I was surprised with just how heavy these things are. He had two guys with him to carry each piece into the house. They carefully navigated through the house without scratching the walls or appliances.
