AUSTIN, TX – There’s no denying that it gets hot during the summer in Austin Texas and although many people will run their air conditioners non-stop, some people can’t run their AC all the time because prolonged exposure to air conditioning can cause headaches and sinus problems but thankfully you can keep your house cool this summer, without always using AC, if you follow these simple tips.

On June 23rd, 2016 BREXIT rocked the world when a referendum passed which will break all ties that the UK has with the EU, but since BREXIT the big question that many people have is how BREXIT has effected Austin Texas Real Estate.
