We Challenge What You Pay For Electricity!If SparkPowerBank isn’t your current electricity provider…chances are you're paying too much!
I’m Texas Energy Analyst Alan Lammey. Maybe you’ve heard me on the radio talking about the market forces that drive energy prices. I’m here to tell you that you’re not stuck paying those high prices to big electric companies anymore! Stop it.
Why pay more than you have to? Those days are over!
Why would you want to go with an electric provider that charges you more, when you can go towww.sparkpowerbank.com and pay far less for the same electricity?

Here’s What Some Of My Previous Clients Have Said About My Service... “So let me just say that if you want the hardest working, most straightforward, most thorough, friendliest real estate agent you could ever hope for, call Tim.” Dave & Elaine R.
“We really appreciated the direct one-on-one contact you were able to provide to us, along with your outstanding knowledge of the market, how to present the home and your negotiating skills” Paul & Alinta S.
“It was very important to my wife and I that our agent was available when needed. Tim proved readily available when contacted via telephone and email. Tim also followed up with every agent that showed the house to obtain feedback on a potential sale as well as to obtain advice on how to improve showings.”
Christopher & Jenny H.
“I have bought and sold two other homes and Tim is the best realtor I ever had. He is smart and knowledgeable, professional and friendly, and helpful, looks after your interests, is always on time and available by phone or email.” Karl B.
“I am writing to thank you for all your help in successfully marketing & selling our US home as part of my transfer from Houston to Stavanger, Norway. Your professional, no-nonsense approach and sound pre-sale preparatory advice was much appreciated. Your knowledge and ability to navigate the intricate processes of international oil company sale procedures was also very helpful. Your experience and understanding of the north-west Houston market proved valuable in pitching our house appropriately.”
