Bridging the divide - 03/19/08 03:21 AM
This is a continuation of two earlier posts regarding the Dr. Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr and Barack Obama; The Audacity of... Race & Unity & hope or Smoke & Mirrors. Feel free to read them to see the progression of thought. Today Barack Obama appeared in Philadelphia to deliver a speech aimed, in part, at quelling the unrest caused by his former pastor, Dr. Jeremiah Wright, in a series of sermons at Trinity United Church of Christ. People will be debating for years whether this is or is not a real issue and whether Mr. Obama successfully dealt with it. A

Unity & Hope or Smoke & Mirrors? - 03/18/08 04:24 AM
This is a continuation of my earlier piece on Barack Obama and his family's two decade long support of the racist Dr. Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr. Hold on, ladies and gentlemen, this is going to get interesting. Trinity United Church of Christ began to push back Sunday against the wave of controversy that began to swell around the 8,000 member Chicago church after shocking video(s) showing the former pastor and Obama family's "spiritual advisor" surfaced. Pastor Otis Moss III, the current pastor of Trinity United, lashed out at critics who he says have "assassinated the character of our church." (It seems

The Audacity of... Race?!? - 03/16/08 05:42 AM
I'll admit, I'm not a fan of Barack Obama. It has nothing to do with the color of his skin. It has nothing to do with who his father was or his ancestry. Nothing. I disagree with his political ideology - I'm about as far from Barack on the political spectrum as I am George Wallace or Harry Reid. I'm not exactly thrilled with GW for that matter, but that's a blog for another day. The surfacing of transcripts and video from Trinity United Church has left me with a whole new level of disgust for politics. Many folks are rushing

Fairbanks, Alaska - January 2008 Market Report - 03/11/08 05:35 AM
appears as though the Fairbanks real estate market is still alive and kicking. We have been fortunate in that Fairbanks and Interior Alaska did not see the speculative boom that many places in the lower 48 did and as such, our sluggish market is just that, sluggish. We are not quite to life support stage... yet. Before I get into the specific market performance I want to encourage those Fairbanks buyers and sellers reading this to seek the counsel of a competent, market savvy real estate agent (I happen to know a great team, btw. :) to help you evaluate individual

My reality check bounced - 03/09/08 03:06 AM
Alright, Rainers, I need a reality check. Tonight we had dinner with a good friend (we'll call her Jill) and as usual, the topic of conversation turned to real estate. Now, Jill is one of the top four agents in town. She is equal parts listing and selling agent and does both well. We worked across the hall from each other for years before Kathy and I left to open an office. Although I haven't been posting many the past few weeks, I'm a fanatical market tracker. I keep incredibly detailed stats on each segment of the market and have seen

New Addition to First Family - 03/07/08 12:01 AM
It was announced this morning that Alaska's First Family is about to get a little larger. Governor Sarah Palin announced that she and her husband Todd, affectionately referred to as the First Dude, are expecting their 5th child in May. In addition to being the youngest person to hold the position of Governor of Alaska, she is also the first woman to hold the position. An August 2007 opinion poll shows Governor Palin enjoys an 87% job approval rating, which is one of the approval ratings in the United States. The Palin's have been blessed with 5 wonderful children; Track, 18;

Dirty Little Secrets - 03/04/08 06:13 PM
I was talking to a friend this morning about how much have changed in real estate over the years. Some of you that have been in this business for a while have seen tremendous changes. In the near ten years we've been in real estate we've seen more than a few; one of the biggest was abolishing the MLS books. Today we can access just about any piece of information our little hearts could desire with only a few simple keystrokes. One of the other major changes I've seen happened a few years ago when our board finally got rid of

Arts In The Golden Heart - 03/03/08 06:21 AM
Your Real Estate Resource in Fairbanks and Interior Alaska The Fairbanks Shakespeare Theatre has been a part of the Fairbanks community since 1992. What began as a single performance along the banks of the Chena River has become a international touring Shakespeare company. If you have the opportunity to see any of the amazing shows, we would highly recommend doing so. For a small theatre company, the acting and directing is typically outstanding. Local critic Robert Hannon had this to say about a recent production. "...As in other FST productions, the set designed by Kit Mayer, displays versatility as actors charge
