Grand Junction Market Statistics - As of April 2008 - 06:28 PM
I find the following market statistics for the Grand Junction area very interesting. The average price of homes has increased, but our volume is down a bit. I'm sure these are directly related. One big change compared to last year at this time is how many months of inventory we have. Last year at this time under under $100-$500 was closer to 45 days. Things have slowed down compared to last year, but compared to the rest of the nation we are doing pretty good.

What do the markings on Tiffany Atlas ring mean? - 09:43 PM
I found this question pretty interesting, as I've an Atlas necklace and bracelet and always wondered if the Roman numerals were of any significance. So, I visited the official site, and sent a question to the customer service. They promised me a reply in 48 hours and so I waited till I got it: "Dear [my name], Thank you for contacting us. The Atlas design was inspired by the clock above the entrance to Tiffany's New York store. We look forward to serving you again in the future." The person didn't add any extra information, so I guess there's no hidden … (0 comments)

Take it to Tiffany and they can run the number and inspect the ring. Also You should take the ring to an actual Tiffany store and have it appraised.

3rd generation home inspector... - 05:28 PM
I am a highly trained professional. And I know what you're probably thinking -- doesn't every inspector say the same thing? -- However, I am actually the only Third Generation Home Inspection in the industry... at least as far as I know and I have asked. Yes... that's right... the only one... my grandfather was an inspector; and my dad, who some of you know (Mike Crow), and now I am doing inspections and loving it. As a matter of fact, I walked my first room at about the age of 6 and have been learning about houses ever since.

Open houses...do they work? - 01:43 PM
I recently was interviewed by a reporter for the Boston Globe. She was doing an article on open houses and how effective they really are. I personally think that open houses are only benificial to the realtor that is hosting it. In my experience i've never sold a house doing one. I believe serious buyers make appointments. Open houses are fantastic way to find new buyer clients but, for sellers, its just another day to find something to do and keep the house looking its best.
 
Ironically, I got a call from a seller this week that had read the … (15 comments)

Timeblocking questions - 03:40 PM
I realize the incredible importance of timeblocking yet, always seem to have problems sticking to my plan. I find myself constantly rearranging my schedule to run out at the last minute for a showing. I also seem to consistantly spend too much time doing the 'busy work' like returning emails, updating websites and handling paperwork as opposed to prospecting. So my questions for all of you are...
 
How much time are you allocating for prospecting?
 
How do you handle the spur of the moment appointment requests?
 
If you are working a 40-50 hour week how much time are … (3 comments)
