Day 10 and 11. Thanks and Thanks for nothing President Obama - 05/16/09 01:57 PM
Back on March 30th I wrote a post about my son and his girlfriend and their search to purchase their first home. http://activerain.com/blogsview/1010928/walking-a-mile-in-someone-else-s-shoes-
After all an $8000 tax credit would cover improvements and repairs they might want to make and she had diligently set up a "saving for our house" account as soon as they started working last June, a mere 30 days after graduation. So, they had their own money for closing costs and downpayment. And with FHA rates around 5%, how can you NOT buy a home. Thank you President Obama for the housing stimulus package! Yeah - they were on … (3 comments)

Day 9, rhymes with time and I'm still here . . . - 05/14/09 12:05 AM
How do you budget your time? Are you a to do list groupie or a fly by the seat of your pants?
Do you set certain times of the day for specific tasks? I really wish I could get myself on some kind of schedule and stick to it. Right now I have 2 things I do each week that I have scheduled specific times for and have been able to stick to them. One is a mastermind group - and one is a weekly webinar. And I feel really good each time I finish with these once a week one hour commitments. I … (3 comments)

Day 4 of 21, lockbox or not? - 05/08/09 08:41 PM
Have a question for agents working with buyers. When you show a home, do you prefer the agent to be in attendance, the seller of the home or no one (lockbox access). Listing agents, what do you typically do? Open the house, have your seller on the premises to either show it or make themselves scarce or have it on lockbox?
As a buyer agent, I really do not care for the listing agent to 'show' the house. And I have been a buyer agent specialist for 2 different agents in the past and worked with a lot of buyers. I … (8 comments)

Day 3 of 21 days of blogging. - 05/07/09 10:54 PM
Here I am day 3 and already stuck! So here goes. Since sitting at the computer for 10 minutes turns into 2 hours, how do you set limits for time spent on blogging and social media contributions?
Do you follow everyone that follows you on twitter? I was, except for a couple of people that I didn't think seemed appropriate after taking a peek at some of their updates. But then the other day, I actually un-followed someone! They were sending so many tweets that the first 2 pages were almost all of them, and I was looking for something else. I … (8 comments)

Day 2 of 21 days of blogging. - 05/06/09 05:05 PM
Funny how I always find something to talk about but sitting down to write something worthwhile that others would be interested in reading is a whole 'nother story.
How about this email subject I received today: looking for East Irondequoit under $90,000. And there have been others for Webster, Fairport and Brighton. We actually have a shortage of inventory. Agents wanting to know about new listings coming up because they have seen everything in the market and they didn't like any of it. But that also says to me that the buyer expectation of what they can buy for the money they choose … (8 comments)

The Path to Habit . . . the 1st of 21. - 05/05/09 10:09 PM
Well, here I am 10:52 PM. Have been at this laptop almost all day. Why is it I can't fit everything in? And now, I am going to add one more thing to my to do list. Blogging every day for 21 days. Have to make it a habit. That and better time management. I just bought one of those really big round clocks with the white face and black frame, like the ones in school. I am serious, I really did. Didn't hang it yet - has to be 6' away from the computer. Since I want to re-arrange the … (7 comments)
