KRISTAL, YOU JUST MADE MY DAY ! ! ! ! 
One of my Realtor Partners sent me one of her Buyers on Friday to be Pre-Qualified. This Realtor, has been great to work with, because she does not waist her time or mine, gets to the point, and when she sends me someone they are usually a good Buyer. So when she sent me this Buyer on Friday I got on it right away. The house that this Buyer wants to purchase is the house of a Borrower that I did a loan for about four to five months ago. They had enough money to purchase the new house and not … (55 comments)
This evening at 10:00 James and Ben will be taking the system offline to do some maintenance and to change our hardware. As many of you know we had a major hardware failure earlier this week. That failure resulted in some instability for The Network over this last week. We have been working with our server provider to remedy what happened. We will be making some significant hardware upgrades. 
I recently added a mortgage rate watch content block on my Point2 site. See it on my Home Buying Process page. I got it from a Google site that has a whole bunch of Google gadgets. There is some pretty fun stuff on the gadgets page, but I don't want to clutter my website with lots of fun Google thihgs that aren't meaningful to people who are actually looking for real estate related items. … (7 comments)

Have you recently decided to remodel your kitchen? If so, have you decide what you would like to get done? Whether you are only interested in changing your kitchen cabinets or if you want to remodel every inch of your kitchen, you will need supplies. The supplies that you need will all depend on the type of remodeling that you plan on doing. Despite the fact that your kitchen remodeling supplies will vary, you can usually purchase them all from the same place.
Can't tell you how many times I go to conventions and come home with lists of things to do. So i wanted to share a tip I got from a Howard Brinton seminar years and years ago. Keep a list of at least the top 10 things you are going to do and set a date for when you want to complete that task.
On Friday, I had written a post, that facilitated quite a discussion about our commissions and how we justify what we charge. If you read my post and the 110+ comments, it generated, you saw that the consumer, Mr. CandiBags showed up. He asked a pretty good question, that I would like to expand upon here.
While at NAR Convention in New Orleans the mouse patrol was out! There was a pesty little guy roaming looking for the best cheese. But the hotel maintenance guys, they were defintely out tracking him! Escape artist!
The 5-3 Seattle Seahawks host the 4-4 St. Louis Rams in a NFC West Divisional showdown at Quest Field. Seattle is still missing their Probowl Quaterback, Matt Hasselbeck and MVP Running Back, Shaun Alexander but even without these to players the Hawks show they can still win. Senca Wallace, starting QB, will have to playing a top game and using all the assets at his disposable.

There are many variations on the story of stone soup, but they all involve a traveler coming into a town beset by famine. The inhabitants try to discourage the traveler from staying, fearing he wants them to give him food. They tell him in no uncertain terms that there's no food anywhere to be found. The traveler explains that he doesn't need any food and that, in fact, he was planning to make a soup to share with all of them. The villagers watch suspiciously as he builds a fire and fills a cauldron with water. With great ceremony, he pulls … (3 comments)
There's no way to visit New Orleans and not realize the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Some NAR attendees took tours out into the devasted areas. But just staying in the small area between hotel and convention center, you know. You just know. Meeting locals, you can't help but ask, How were you affected? Are you back home? How many people are back around you? Was the water here...or here...orhere? The many Realtors and exhibitors in New Orleans for their conference are helping just by being there, and spending their money, and talking about New Orleans. Many physically helped in the building … (14 comments)
