About this update from Taylor Consulting, Inc.
[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n On the heels of Forbes \n naming Abilene, Texas as one of its best places to retire, Taylor \n Consulting Inc. (OTCBB:TAYO) will add more real estate agents to its \n recently acquired Abilene-based broker White \n Buffalo Property Solutions to meet expected increases in demand.\n \n \n “Forbes just ranked the top 25 places to retire in the United \n States and found out what we already know – thanks to the West Texas oil \n boom, Abilene is hot. For the last year, we have been strategically \n building a real estate portfolio of prime properties there,” said TAYO \n CEO Scott Wheeler. “Keeping up with demand for real estate in Abilene \n has been a challenge, but adding more White Buffalo agents will enable \n us to scout and acquire even more properties. And, now that Forbes \n has listed Abilene as a desirable retirement destination, we expect even \n more demand in the area.”\n \n \n Population growth in Texas has averaged 1.7 percent annually over the \n past three years – more than double the national average. Abilene \n continues to draw new residents as a result of the historic \n shale oil boom in West Texas. The city’s robust economy, warm \n climate and low cost of living were key factors for Forbes adding \n Abilene to its list of top 25 retirement destinations. Abilene has \n benefitted enormously from energy investment in the Permian Basin: \n recent figures from Texas Workforce Commission show a fantastically low \n unemployment rate of 4% and hundreds of job opportunities there. \n Average home prices in Abilene are $139,000 (national average is \n $207,000).\n \n \n To capitalize on rising demand for real estate in counties surrounding \n the Permian Basin in West Texas, TAYO has been stocking its portfolio \n with prime properties located in and around Abilene. Through its real \n estate division, Third \n Avenue Development, TAYO signed a purchase agreement in November to \n acquire Abilene-based real estate broker White Buffalo Property \n Solutions LLC to help facilitate deals in the region.\n \n \n About Taylor Consulting Inc.\n \n \n Taylor Consulting, Inc.
