Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 = New Toy
Last night, the husband and I ventured out to purchase a new camera for the sake of 'updating' our current point and clickers. Currently we've got a 4MP and 5MP camera... really a 4MP, since he can't seem to place his cords.  With our weekend trip to celebrate our First Year Wedding Anniversary set to begin tomorrow, I figured we needed to get to action on a new cam.
It was a story of He Said/She Said:She said: "Let's invest the money to get an SLR..."He said: "I want something small enough to carry and … (7 comments)

In the world of Real Estate, we're often left alone to ponder new and exciting ways to reach out to potential Buyers or Sellers and steal their attention in hopes to motivate them to move off dead center and hire our amazing services. When thinking about this yesterday, my Broker and I carried on a back and forth banter about some issues and he used a particular comparison that caught my ear - he referenced the Fuller Brush Man.
 
Back in a simpler day, when sales were really door to door and not phone to phone or Mac to … (6 comments)

He was the reason for my venturing into Real Estate and was a teacher of so many wonderful things. He owned several businesses throughout his years, including a residential brokerage as well as venturing into commercial real estate and property management in D/FW for a short time.


I had just arrived back from a week long trip in Jamaica with a group of (future) family and friends. My husband wasn't able to take off time for the trip because of police training, but was there to pick me up from the airport.
We got to our (then) apartment shortly … (5 comments)

Top Real Estate Agent Myths - Realtor Misconceptions - 08/04/09 08:25 AM
Top Real Estate Agent Myths - To Protect and Serve (and Save)
Oftentimes, we are taught the same values of our predecessors, family and friends.

Real Estate Agents have a bad rap, yes.  But if you take the time to read this post, you'll learn quite the contrary about Real Estate Agents and our field of … (1 comments)

In Dallas, Texas and throughout the US - We are in the business of communication - 08/03/09 08:01 AM
 
Being a Realtor is being in the business of communication.
 
Let's be honest. We all have our weekends where we look forward to getting away from it all, whether that means a quick weekend trip with the family to an out of town destination or turning the cell phone on silent for an hour or two.

Growing up, I hated the phone. I didn't just not like it … (2 comments)
