Virtual Assistants - Filling In - 09:39 PM
There have been many posts by agents and by Virtual Assistants on the many things they can do to enhance our business. Recently I was discussing with our team some of the tasks we could assign to a VA, and realized that more importantly than giving the VA tasks we're now doing, we could well assign tasks from the Project To-Do list that keeps getting longer.
We also wondered if VAs are a good solution for filling an Admin position in between full time on-site hires, whether they'd be a good solution for vacation and sick leave. Do any of you handle … (27 comments)

Florida Real Estate and Property Tax Cuts - 05:09 PM
One of the reasons that the Florida real estate market has been sluggish over the past couple of years has been the result of property taxes in the state. Over the course of the past decade, Florida in fact had one of the higher property tax rates in all of the United States. Efforts are now underway to reign in the costs associated with property tax in Florida at this point in time. By dealing with property tax issues, the goal is to reinvigorate the Florida real estate marketplace.

The First Snow - 04:05 PM
It is Minnesota, we are behind schedule.  It does snow here.  it started this morning and will continue through tomorrow.  I think the frist snow is lovely.  . . but only if it snows when I don't have to go anywhere.
Shoveling steps can be fun . . . I think
Holiday decorations look much better in the snow. The picture was taken in Rice Park, downtown St. Paul.  The building in the background is the landmark center.  The trees are filled with holiday lights but I have not seen them lit yet. Thye must be waiting unitl . . ?  who knows.

LSU wins the SEC Championship, defeats Tennessee 21-14 - 07:21 PM
Never a dull moment for the LSU faithful comes from behind to beat a very good Tennesse team with a back up quarterback and several of the top players injured. Add that to the fact of Les Miles rumors all week with him leaving and the defensive Coordinator leaving for Nebraska some how LSU came up with the win. College football is exciting as was the LSU season losing two games in overtime to finish 11-2. So if the Saints can beat Tampa tommorow we in Lousiana is on a roll for football and politics. Wow!!! 4 fourth quarter wins and 2 overtime … (11 comments)

Michael Moore's Sicko - 01:17 PM
Last night I rented Michael Moore's film Sicko.  I know there are a lot of different views and opinions about this film.....here is mine.  I thought this was an eye opening movie and I was touched by the personal stories told.   The film is focused on America's failing heath care system and shows shocking statistics and touching personal testimonies.  In the film Michael Moore travels to France, Cuba, Canada and England, which all have free universal health care and questions why we cannot have the same care here in America.  I personally found this to be an eye opening movie about our health care system and … (23 comments)

Apocalypse How? Becoming a Cockroach in a Survivors' Market. - 01:59 PM
In the past 7 years, I've learned a lot from fellow peers and the people I've worked for, they are called clients in a corporate type of sense.  I have no barometer in which to gauge what is going on here (With our world, with Real Estate), I don't know the immediate cause or eventual solution.  That's not an easy thing to absorb.
The fact is....rates are low.  They are real low.  And while I've listened and heard the Consumer Confidence or lack there of....I've also listened to us....and me.  As one of my prospective clients put it, " Depressed housing market, depressed … (79 comments)
