captain bill: 80 YEAR OLD BODYBUILDER, Captain Bill Travis - 10/26/13 04:44 AM
80 YEAR OLD BODYBUILDER, Captain Bill Travis For many years I've kept my age secret, but now it's time to come out of the proverbial closet and admit that I'm 80 years old. The reason I never revealed my age is that many people think anyone approaching age 80 should be retired and either spending their time fishing or in a nursing home - not actively selling real estate, and being an 80 year old bodybuilder. Most people thought I was in my mid 60's, and that was fine with me.
Retirement, in my opinion, is being retired from a … (2 comments)

SAN FRANCISCO HERE I COME
I just read Alan May's great post about "I'm off to the south for the weekend" and it triggered me to write this post about our upcoming trip to San Francisco (from Phoenix) this week end to visit one of our daughters and her family.
We have 5 grandchildren - and each one is our favorite. That's right we have 5 favorites. Each one is special, and we love to support their activities by attending when we can.
The purpose of this trip from Gilbert AZ to San Francisco is to attend the big band … (10 comments)

Prepare my Val Vista Lakes Home for Sale by Decluttering, How to

Clutter can be anything including the refrigerator full of magnets for reminders and kids achievements, to the toaster and other small appliances filling up the otherwise beautiful granite counter tops … (0 comments)

captain bill: Bank Demands Buyer Non-Refundable EM Forfeited to the Bank - 02/22/11 10:39 AM
Bank Demands Buyer Non-Refundable EM Forfeited to the Bank
Et tu, Brute?
 
Well, the banks are now taking a lesson from all the Realtors who have been asking for non-refundable deposits from short sale buyers.
One Realtor had the language that if the buyer defaults and the earnest money is forfeited it goes to the  sellers Broker to pay for work performed (not to the seller).
Today I received an email from the listing agent with a form from the bank (actually a Credit Union). The credit union  demands the earnest money to be changed to non-refundable for 90 … (4 comments)

captain bill: STOP PROCRASTINATING, START VISUALIZING - 03/29/10 03:56 AM
VISUALIZATION
It is not uncommon for us to procrastinate, for whatever reason, and get behind in our work. The more we procrastinate, the more our work piles up, and the further we get behind. That viscous circle is a downward spiral that we must control, otherwise we will never get things done.
There are probably many ways to overcome this situation. However, a technique that works for me is this:
VISUALIZE
Sit down in a comfortable chair with no distractions and no noise. Turn your phone off so as to not be interrupted for 5 to 15 minutes.
Close your eyes … (0 comments)
