Via Brian Block -- Northern Virginia & D.C. Real Estate (RE/MAX Allegiance, Managing Broker/Branch Vice President):
You should take your time when searching for a home. 
That's worth repeating:  You should take your time when searching for a home. 
If such an important project is rushed too quickly then you're susceptible to making mistakes not achieving good long-term results.  A home search and home purchase ranks really high on life's … (2 comments)

Besides, the funds that were collected earlier this month  by the Church that I attend, the Ward Street Church of Christ, in Wallingford, CT., to provide gifts for older children who many times get left out, we are also doing a couple of other things during this Holiday Season.

Be successful and follow your Dreams. Short sales can be a solution.
I just watched Slumdog Millionaire tonight. I'd seen it before when it was fairly new, and had requested it again thru Netflix. It showed up yesterday quite unexpected - it had been awhile.... So after a day of travelling to meet new clients, I thought, this should be good.
I've been to India roughly 5 or 6 times before, when I was an architect. I was a healthcare architect, and my turbaned boss had plenty of connections there. Mumbai, New Delhi, Chandigarh, Goa. All very unique places, … (7 comments)

RE-BLOGGED: Can we all stop pretending that we are Doctors and Lawyers? - 09:07 AM
Not that this blog needs any more exposure (150 comments and counting!), but just in case a few of you missed it, I'm reblogging here.

If you live in a home that promotes a peaceful soul, your mind, body and spirit will resonate with that energy.   If you live in a home that lacks an "awakened soul," you will feel … (9 comments)
