I have heard so much about Talking House.  Does it really work?  There is a few agents in our area that use it.  I have been nosey and drove around tuning in my radio listening to their recorded messages.  I think it would be a great idea.  I do wonder, the receiver is put on the inside of the ho...

How many members by 7/1/07, that is the topic.  My crystal ball tells me 42,865 member in Active Rain.  If I win, I am going for the lottery and somebody get me to the casino before my luck runs out! Oh, by the way, My promise to everyone in this group, if I win the lottery and become a multi-mil...

This is to all agents, not just Tennessee.  Each year is seems like someone goes and updates our TAR contracts.  I agree change can be good.  BUT...that old saying you can't teach old dogs new tricks, well it applies to some agents as well.  In 2007 TAR (TN Association of Realtors) changed our sa...

Talking about yourself is hard!  I am telling deep dark secrets to soon to be friends on AR.  Who would have ever thought?  Now on to the subject:  ME1. When someone tells me to keep a secret, I can but when they say don't tell a soul, now that is another subject.  I do have to go to my one perso...

I have a very busy day ahead of me, I don't want to get up, I thought, as the alarm clock buzzed.  Being busy means work, work means money, so I jumped out of bed and started my day.  Is my day like may other Realtor Moms, I thought.  This would be a good blog.  I get up every morning and go upst...

I have an issue that I would love some help with.  I wrote an offer on the 10th of March on a home that has been on the market for 41/2 months.  It is empty and to be honest looks like it could be a forclosure or on its way away.  My buyers really like the home and are willing to make the repairs...

I recently moved to a new office.  One of the reasons...Centralized Showing Service.  What is CSS?  They are a 3rd party that sets up all of the showings for agents in other  real estate offices.  The service is awsome!  They are open 7 days a week, 8am to 8pm.  Agents can call one number to set ...

Gas prices are on the rise again!  I spend about $50.00 every 2 to 3 days on a tank of gas.  It is getting out of control!  I do have a large SUV and I know it is time to trade it in.  I have a question, what kind of car/truck or van do I need.  I love my Yukon XL.  I have room for 7 passagers an...

        Do you ever just sit and think about things?  I do and today is one of those days!  I was thinking about Memphis and what it has to offer people moving to our area.  What started all of this thinking was a customer that is moving here in June.  He stated that he lived here almost 15 years...
