About five years ago, I was sitting at a PT50 table with a different team, listening to someone explain why they had never won a PT50 award and never would. They listed a laundry list of reasons why neither of us would never stroll across the PT50 stage.
And in that moment, something lit up in me.
Part of it was simple. Someone said I couldn’t do something, and that alone was fuel. But the deeper reason had nothing to do with proving anyone wrong. It had everything to do with what PT50 actually stands for and why it mattered so much to me.
PT50 isn’t just about production. And that’s exactly why it matters.
Production Without Purpose Misses the Point
Let’s be honest. Production is important. Helping people buy and sell homes matters. We love the work, we’re passionate about it, and our numbers reflect that. But production without purpose is just a scoreboard. If there’s no value behind it, no why, no call to serve, then what’s the poin ...

If you have been watching the Central Texas real estate market and wondering whether 2025 is the right time to buy, you are asking the same question as almost every buyer I meet. As someone who personally bought a new primary residence this year, my answer is clear. Yes, 2025 is one of the strongest buying windows we have seen in years, and buyers who understand the opportunity are stepping forward strategically.
I have been told by trusted real estate economists that the next three to six months leading into 2026 may be the best time to buy before the market shifts again. I do not have a crystal ball, but I do pay attention to data, supply, demand, and buyer behavior across Austin, Georgetown, Round Rock, Leander, Hutto, Cedar Park, Liberty Hill, and surrounding areas. What I see right now . ...

Part of my own wealth-building journey has been through real estate - and that requires discipline. Over the years, I’ve seen how financial stability and smart decision-making can completely transform not only an individual’s future but their family’s. At T. Kerr Property Group, part of our mission is to be a conduit for wealth-building for our clients. To do that, we have to talk openly about both the opportunities and the risks that come with homeownership.
If you’re trying to figure out how much to spend on a home, the 30/30/3 rule is one of the best frameworks out there. It was first introduced during the 2008 financial crisis to help buyers avoid overextending themselves - and it’s just as relevant today.
Following the 30/30/3 rule gives you a higher chance of ...

If you’ve recently come into money – maybe from selling a property, receiving a bonus, an inheritance, or even winning the lottery – you may be sitting on a financial opportunity most homeowners overlook. That extra cash can do more than just sit in your bank account or get eaten up by inflation. Used strategically, it can help you slash your monthly payments, cut years off your loan, and save hundreds of thousands in interest through recasting or refinancing your mortgage.
Let’s unpack what each of these options means, when to use them, and how much you could actually save.
What Is a Mortgage Recast?
A mortgage recast (sometimes called a loan re-amortization) allows you to apply a large lump-sum payment toward your existing m ...
