Larry -- change your number to 19 - 05:53 PM
WOW!  $19M GUARANTEED!
The Chiefs have stepped up to the plate with their running back LJ.  If you ask any NFL'er --the guaranteed money is what you want because you get that money immediately -- typically contracts in football are loaded with incentives and other performance measurements say, Pro Bowl, ALL Pro, 1500 yards,....
I would say his hold paid off. 
Did anyone choose LJ in their AR fantasy draft?  He may not have any have more incentives to run for 1500 plus yards.
We will see when the NFL season begins.

Which Website Route Should You Go? *PART 1* - 10:37 AM
Should I go with a custom website or a template website?  That's a question I hear a lot & see a lot here on Active Rain....Actually its a question that we should see & hear more often because the majority of people truly do not know!  Below I will lay out what template websites, and custom websites offer (and some of what they do not offer) I will list benefits of both, I will also give cost comparisons to some products and services.  Now I know that not all the features of template and custom sites won't be listed...there is just too … (2 comments)

This is Part 2 of Which Website Route Should I Go? Click the link to View part 1
Where I left off was a sample of a bad website - and why it wasn't working for the agent, actually that was just one or two reasons why that site didn't work, I actually had 2 pages of why it didn't work!  Now, I am going to explain what TEMPLATE websites offer.

Although these are just a few items about Custom websites, it goes well with the other parts of this series!

Hot Hot Hot - 11:04 AM
I spent yesterday afternoon showing in the sweltering heat.  Most of the time I was showing pool homes under $350,000.00 in Naples Park.  It never ceases to amaze me how much work some of these homes need.  Naples Park is an area in North Naples that has smaller lots with ranch homes on them.  It is an area where some of the smaller homes have been torn down and new homes built.  As time goes on, more of these small homes will be torn down.
One home I was in was so bad that the smell of mold permeated through the front door.  … (0 comments)

Homes Prices in Richistan Continue to Soar - 03:26 PM
$50 million is the new $30 million, says Glenn Roberts over at the Inman News Blog–especially when it comes to high end luxury homes. Citing a 2007 Mid-Year Luxury Report by Stribling Private Brokerage, Roberts explains how just a few years ago, even a rumor of a $30 million real estate sale in Manhattan would create big buzz. But since the sale of a $53 million property there in late 2006, prices have leapfrogged into the $50 millions.
This enormous inflation at the top tier of the real estate market is occurring across the country–from San Francisco’s $55 million fixer, to … (4 comments)

Please don't promote our development on Localism. - 04:26 PM

I just received a phone call asking me to take a blog off the web that is promoting a new development.  Here's how the call went:
Minority Shareholder of Development (MSD): Is this Todd?
Me: Yes. How can I help you?

The Oracle of Omaha Saves the Day - 02:41 PM
     Countrywide in trouble? Not anymore! Credit lines shut off? They will soon be opened again as Wall Street rushes to invest in mortgage backed securities. Lenders still going out of business and people still losing their homes? Yes, but it won't halt investors anymore! Why? Because the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett is considering buying a stake in Countrywide Financial. Is it set in stone? Not having Mr. Buffett's cell number to call and confirm, I could only speculate like everyone else, but it certainly is intriguing!
     Can Warren Buffett single-handedly cure the problems in the industry right now? Of … (7 comments)
