Just a cute photo of my team. The Mahon Team, aka Alternative Foreclosure Solutions, is tackling Short Sales and helping homeowners avoid foreclosure. Special Agent Mahon, Winter and Sirgo stands ready to serve homeowners who are behind on their mortgage and need assistance.
We're no Charlie's Angels... but maybe you could call us KW Angels :)
This past 6 months has been quite filled with lots of changes. I wrote a little about my growing team in my last post. Now I will share with you my shrinking me! Thats right... I have lost 20+ lbs since the beginning of this year. I did it with Weight Watchers and the support of my family and friends. I never really thought of myself overweight and I really just decided to lose the weight to see if I could. And now when I go back and look at old pictures I see that I was a little on the chunky side and am feeling great now that the weight is gone.
At Weight Watchers, you are asked to set goals and just like in my business life, I tend to go after them with gusto! My lifetime goal was reached this week and now I have to maintain it to become a Lifetime Member of Weight Watchers. My dad also is doing Weight Watchers and he has lost 40+ lbs!
Check out my before and after pics below!

Hey there everyone!
It's been a while since I last posted to my blog. ALOT has happened in the past few months. My team is growing by leaps and bounds! I hired a new assistant this past April. Her name is Karen Sirgo and is long time resident of Round Rock. Her and her husband owns Pure and Simple Water. Karen brings order to my business and am very grateful she has joined our team!
I recived the following email recently about the homestead cap on property taxes and thought it might be interesting to you all!
You must vote in May to keep the Homestead tax cap for 65 and over, even if you are not 65 yet. If you are a Texas homeowner then this is VERY important to you. If not, I am sure this will be important to all your friends.
If you agree, please pass along to all on your email lists.
I am sending this email to everyone on my email address list who lives in Texas. I want to be sure you are aware of a constitutional amendment that will be on the ballot at the May election. It is an amendment to correct an error made by the lawmakers when they voted for a reduction in school property taxes in 2005.
When the lawmakers voted for a one-third reduction in school property taxes beginning in 2006 and to be completed this year, they forgot about the homestead exemption for senior citizens and people with disabilities.
The state constitution caps school property taxes for homeowners 65 years and older and those who are disabled. However, they DID NOT get the same reduction when the property tax cut for schools was voted on two years ago.
So an amendment is on the May ballot to correct this error.
The problem is that most voters who are younger than 65 or not disabled probably won't even notice the amendment or care.
PLEASE get out and vote for this amendment if not for yourself, then for your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends. We would really appreciate your getting the word out to all your friends and families to vote for this amendment.
The fear is that with a low voter turnout, the amendment could very well not pass.
So, please, please pass the word and VOTE FOR the constitutional amendment. Early voting will take place APRIL 30 - MAY 5 from 7 AM TO 7 PM; MAY 6 FROM NOON TO 6 PM AND MAY 7 - MAY 8 FROM 7 AM TO 7 PM. ELECTION DAY IS MAY 12 FROM 7 AM TO 7 PM.
