Help This Poor Agent: Why Won’t This House on Shook Avenue Sell?

By Candy Evans / November 12, 2014 /

Help us shake it up on Shook. I cannot think of a nicer street than Shook Road, just north-ish of Gaston in White Rock. The houses on the south side of the street have what I call “Austin topography” — cool terrains that stair-step up to the house. (Cannot see it in photo.) It’s such…
