I was at two title companies today, and I heard two tidbits I wanted to share with you. They are very different tidbits, but both equally exciting in their own way.

 While I was waiting in the lobby at Independence Title on Rivery Boulevard near Wal-Mart, a man came in to give the escrow officers some sort of coupon for The Cotton Patch, a new restaurant in town. In fact, the restaurant is so new, it hasn’t even opened yet. That’s the first exciting tidbit - the Cotton Patch will open for business this Friday, March 28 at Wolf Ranch Mall. I was interested to learn that they will not be open for breakfast. The man (presumably, the manager) told me that they will be open for lunch and dinner only. You can click the link above to see their menu.

The second exciting tidbit, I learned while bringing a contract to Georgetown Title on Rock Street. My experience is that sales are really picking up these days, but I wanted the escrow officer’s take. Since they work with REALTORS from every agency in town, they have a grasp of the overall market. So I asked if they had noticed an increase in business lately, too. The response I got was kind of a combination of a gasp and a groan, a major eyeroll, and then hearty nodding. They said they have a new assistant, and every time a new contract comes in, the assistant says, “Are you kidding me?” She can’t believe how much work is constantly flowing in. They said that Mondays are especially busy because of all the deals going under contract over the weekends.
