keller williams: The biggest mistake home sellers can make in 2010
- 01/13/10 03:12 AM
This time of year, many sellers take the attitude of "I'll wait till spring to put my house on the market, when there are more buyers." That couldn't be a bigger mistake in 2010. Roughly half of buyers in 2009 were first time home buyers, spurred on by the initial first time home buyer tax credit. Many of them purchased BEFORE they might otherwise have. In essence, those buyers were borrowed from the future. Now, with the tax credit available for first timers AND buyers that have previously owned a home, we are again, borrowing buyers from the future. On April 30th, it's going to catch up … (7 comments)

keller williams: The 411 on achieving goals
- 01/04/10 03:09 AM
This weekend I watched as several of my friends made posts about their New Year's intentions. Seeing all of their lofty goals got me wondering about HOW they would accomplish them. I began to ponder the saying that "A goal without a plan is simply a wish." In order to achieve big goals, we've got to have a plan to get there! A tool that I have found quite valuable for achieving goals is a form called a 411. The premise is simple: 4 weeks of activities lead to 1 month of accomplishments that lead to your 1 year goal. Basically, … (3 comments)

- 09/02/09 05:04 AM
Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Keller Williams Realty Mega Camp in Austin Tx. This is an event where top real estate agents from around the country come for training and inspiration. I only got to stay for two days because I had to leave home for a family emergency, but what I learned will stay with me for a lifetime. Lesson 1 : When you resolve to put your family first, it means that you are saying NO to some other things. And that's okay. You can't do everything so just do the things that are most … (10 comments)

In February, HBO released its most successful original movie to date titled "Taking Chance". In this film, Kevin Bacon plays the role of LtCol.
