I spent two hours today cleaning house, but it wasn’t mine - 12/31/07 03:06 AM
The house wasn't filthy, but several months on the market hadn't been kind. The contractors performing the minor repairs didn't exactly leave the place spotless. The disappointed look during the final walk-through said it all. They have a long day ahead of them, trying to completely move in all in one … (8 comments)

It's a set up! - 12/30/07 02:15 PM
My husband and I are getting close to being empty nesters but it isn't completely by choice.
Our oldest son is in college, and the other one is 17 going on 35. We've tried for years to have another child, but things haven't worked out yet. Then we have the pets.
We have … (6 comments)

Great fishing for dear husband and his pals! - 12/29/07 04:28 PM
Well, this posting is a little late, but I have to talk about my husband's latest fishing trip.
There isn't a lot of fishing to do in Southeast Alaska during winter. Sure, hardy souls can spend hours out in the snow and chilly rain searching for the elusive winter King Salmon, … (11 comments)

I'd really like to return your call! - 12/22/07 03:44 PM
From my house to my office, there is a "hole" in cell phone coverage. My phone will not ring, and has absolutely no signal for just a few minutes. There are quite a few of these holes throughout our region, mostly due to geography. We are at sea level and surrounded by … (43 comments)

Come to Alaska, but don't BS! - 12/10/07 12:12 PM
Recently I read another blog on Active Rain that inspired this post. Scott Daniels in Florida wrote http://activerain.com/blogsview/301871/Sorry-we-re-Realtors . In his blog, he wrote about the "clients" who call REALTORS° thinking it's an easy way to get a free tour of a place they visit.
Being in Juneau, Alaska, I've got an … (6 comments)

Debbie's Famous Peanut Brittle - 12/09/07 05:02 PM
When I'm not selling real estate or out fishing, you can be sure I'm in the kitchen making something. I love to cook, especially for a crowd. My home was designed around my large kitchen. All my real estate clients know that just before Christmas they will receive a delivery of … (6 comments)

In Parts One, Two and Three, I gave the background to this story of exceptional customer service.
There are quite a few dentists in my community, but plenty of business to go around. Somehow I'd found this magical man who was able to work on my teeth. I was no longer afraid … (8 comments)
