Dip your toe into any part of the tech pool—no matter the industry or vertical—and you’ll instantly be soaked in a deluge of DISRUPTION. DISRUPTION. DISRUPTION. DISRUPTION. (And, yes, we totally channelled a “Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!” there). But we digress. Full disclosure: Urban Provision loves tech. We LOVE it. We use it…

Mortgage Interest Rates: The Sek-Say Chocolate of Real Estate

When I want to get all hot and bothered and excited, there are a few things that come immediately to mind that get me there. Really good cheese. Bom-chicka-wow-wow. Etta James’ music. Oozy-goozy chocolate (add sea salt and … oh … my … God). My boyfriend’s aftershave. Near the BOTTOM…

Made In Texas, Y’all: How The Lone Star State Crafts Love (and So Much More)

TEXAS. The very word conjures a slew of adjectives and feelings bigger than the state itself. TEXAS. It’s big. It’s bold. It’s filled with greatness. It’s a land of big upstarts, big swagger, big hair, big buildings, and big everything. It’s a land of warm breezes that bathe your soul in…

I Scream, You Scream, We ALL Scream for ICE CREAM!

Mmm … ice cream. Simple, beautiful, delicious, sweet, creamy ice cream. Is there ANYONE that doesn’t like it?  In our lives, so filled up with running hither and yon, spotty wifi, phones that simply will not update, coffeehouses who refuse to spell our names correctly on our cups of steaming…

Does Size Matter? Bigger Isn’t Necessarily Better

Does size matter? Now, don’t go thinking our minds are in the gutter over here. This is a family show. There are things where size might matter. If you’re using a battering ram, for example. Then, yes, size matters. If you’re looking to finesse something, like the tiny screws on…

Do I REALLY Want to Do That? Working With Your Cousin, The Real Estate Agent

It’s June 1: Hurricanes, Hunkering Down and Havoc

It’s that time of year again, folks. It’s June 1st. That means that summer has started (at least unofficially), we’ve turned a new page on the calendar, and the Atlantic Hurricane Season has begun. It’s been on every newspaper and every news broadcast on every channel from North Carolina to…

Summer in Texas: It’s HOT!

Summer in Texas is hot. Danged hot, actually.  Seriously. During the summer in Texas, you could roast all kinds of meaty goodness (mmm … brisket) right in your car. Don’t believe me? Try getting into your car after it’s been closed up all day when it’s 105 degrees outside. HOT.…

Still Renting? Time To Think Again: Why Buying A Home Is A Great Idea

Psst! Do you hear that?’ ::duhhhhhhh dum … duhhhhh dum … duh dum duh dum dum duh dum::  That’s the “Jaws” theme (we think), and it’s getting louder and louder and faster and faster because—guess what?!—TAX DAY is THIS WEDNESDAY. We’re sure that you fine people have already filed your…
