It's time to clean out your homes and turn your unused items into cash! Our spring garage sale will be held on Saturday, April 13 from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Here are some top tips to prepare for your garage sale:
Start early: Begin sorting through your items well in advance to ensure a well-organized sale day.
Price wisely: Research similar items to set reasonable prices that attract buyers. Place price tags or labels on items you plan to include in your sale before the sale date.
Organize efficiently: Display items neatly and categorize them for easy browsing, and organize clothing by size and gender.
Spruce up: Wipe down any items that may have collected dust, including your display tables, for higher appeal ad presentation.
Offer deals: Consider bundle discounts or special offers to entice shoppers.
Be alert: Place high-value items in a visible area for safekeeping and to attract potential customers to your sale. Have cash on hand in a lock box to make change for your customers, and keep your cash box closely at all times.
Collaborate: Get the family involved and have your children select items they would like to sell such as toys they haven't played with in a while, outgrown clothes or bicycles that are now too small.
Spark interest: Place a sign in your yard with a brief description of featured items in your sale like bicycles, grills or large workout equipment to attract customers.

This year, Falcon Ranch HOA achieved significant milestones in both community
development and financial management, guided by the core tenets of transparency, financial responsibility, and community engagement.
Financial Innovations:
Under the new rising interest rate environment, the board proactively sought
opportunities to optimize the HOA's idle funds, adhering to Spectrum
Management company's criteria. Our strategic initiatives included:
-Investing $200K in a 6-month CD at a 5.4% interest rate, expecting to earn
almost $11K annually.
- Transferring funds to a Money Market Account for better earnings while
maintaining full access for HOA needs.
- Planning for future excess funds from 2024 dues, considering laddering
strategies in 3-month CDs to maximize returns without compromising
liquidity.
Community Enhancements:
We also have also made substantial improvements to our neighborhood's infrastructure and aesthetics, ensuring a safer, more enjoyable environment for all residents.
- Partnered with Fort Bend Roads and Bridges to repair street signs and
crumbled curbs.
- Collaborated with CP Energy for street light replacements and LED
conversion planning.
- Conducted extensive tree trimming and metal fence repairs in common
areas.
- Power-washed HOA brick fences and made landscape enhancements at
Westheimer-Falcon Hill Entrance and the Club House.
-Initiated plans with Commissioner Morales’s staff for sidewalk installation
on Falcon Landing.
- Redesigned the Westheimer Main Entrance Flower Bed and improved the
Main Entrance Pond area.
- Developed an ACC Charter and streamlined the ACC process for easier community member participation.
Community Engagement:
Our commitment to fostering a vibrant community was evident through various
social events that brought neighbors together, celebrating and strengthening our
community bonds.
Hosted seasonal events:
- Spring Easter Egg Hunt
- 2023 Pool Opening and Closing Events
- Breakfast with Santa, and a Holiday
Decorating Contest
In 2023, Falcon Ranch HOA not only enhanced our financial standing through
prudent investments but also fostered community pride with infrastructural
improvements and engaging social events.
We thank all members for their support and look forward to a prosperous and collaborative 2024.
