How about a chocolate cake instead of a coffee break?! This little recipe can make a chocolate lover's day. Some offices offer cappuccino and bottled water, now the fancy ones can let them eat cake! For real!
(Also, if you print the recipe and place it in a mug that has your logo, it could be part of a closing gift basket.)

4 T. flour 4 T. sugar 2 T. cocoa 1 egg 3 T. milk 3 T. oil (or try real butter...worked very well) 3 T. chocolate chips (optional) Small splash of vanilla extract 1 large coffee … (6 comments)

Falmouth After Prom Gus Canty Pictures! 2010 - 05/23/10 02:29 PM
Each year for the last 16 years, Falmouth resident Sandy Cuny and many volunteers and contributors have produced an all night party for juniors and seniors at Falmouth High School. The post-prom celebration is an all-night safe haven for teens in Falmouth where they can eat, create, play games and enjoy entertainment at no cost.
All the decorations, food, games, and entertainment are provided by local businesses and individuals. For three days, teams of parents decorate the inside of the Gus Canty Community Center in a theme that is picked at the annual Celebrations meeting. This year they chose "Holidays/Festivals" as their theme. There was … (3 comments)

Burgler Uses Open Houses As His Modus Operandi (MO) - 05/20/10 12:12 PM
I just read an article that describes a burglar as posing as a buyer at open houses as his modus operandi. Houses in high dollar areas tend to be larger and with more than one visitor at a time, a single agent can lose track of who is where. This guy allegedly focused on jewelry which is small enough to conceal easily.
If you're doing an open house, be on your guard. If you are attending an open house, please understand that there are reasons you are asked to sign in, beyond just getting your name and contact information.
Here is a link … (4 comments)

I just received a call from the Falmouth fire department informing me that smoke detector inspections in the town of Falmouth MA cannot be scheduled until after June 16 because all the slots are full.

So ... You Think You Know The Market? - 05/19/10 05:55 PM
I just read a blog post by an agent in NYC that could be written by any experienced agent or broker in the US. The question posed as a problem is, "Do you know the market, if you know what the sale price of a property was?" She writes a personal explanation of her experience.
Experienced agents and brokers across the country face this topic every day. We all deal with it. It does seem that there is a trend by smart consumers to utilize an experienced professional. Experienced agents and brokers can explain, verify, and identify properties that truly meet a consumers interest much faster and … (4 comments)

Cool Cape Cod Pictures - 05/13/10 04:58 PM
Many people have heard about Cahoon and the Cape Cod art that has mermaids and ships. But I recently saw the website of newer artist who uses photography. He calls his art Night Photography.
On his web site are his own pictures of Cape Cod with a nocturnal perspective. The colors are brilliant. The subjects are from all over the Cape. And there are interesting photos of other subjects, too.
If you are looking for some interesting art, take a look at Tim Little's photographs. His eye and his creativity are very interesting. I particularly like the one of the lighthouse called … (1 comments)

Who Are The New Buyers, "The NEOs", The New Affluent Buyer? - 05/12/10 08:45 AM
As in all economies, studies are being produced that work hard at identifying who is buying, and how are they thinking. There is a new designation of buyer. They are called NEOs or the New Affluent. Are you one? Are you working with any? 
The new affluent buyers are content with who they are, and not dependent on who their parents were. They research and accept useful pointers from experienced full-time professionals in any area they are making decisions in. They understand that the Internet is full of mis-information and sales tactics.
They prefer verifiable information, prefer to benefit from the experience of … (4 comments)

Landlords Are Looking At Tenants' Social Media Posts And Tags - 05/07/10 11:12 AM
The latest verification strategy for landlords is to search social media sites for information and pictures about tenants. Social media sites are a source of what people are like at home, work, and play. Many people place pictures that help describe their lifestyle, interests, and hobbies.
There are many examples of how social media pictures and posts have changed celebrity endorsements and public impressions for many publicly notable people. That has evolved into tech savvy landlords researching their prospective tenants to see what social media sites display. Sometimes the info is reassuring and sometimes it is enlightening.
If you are a … (4 comments)

Does the market affect you, or do you affect the market? - 05/05/10 01:46 PM
An inexperienced agent went to an open house where the broker was working and told the broker about the market and how buyers and sellers were hard to deal with. The agent did not know how they were going to make it, and wanted to give up.Customers were tiring and wearing out the agent. It seemed that as one problem was solved, a new one arose.  The broker took the agent into the kitchen. The broker filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire on the stove.  In the first the broker placed a carrot, in the second … (2 comments)
