Good News Travels Fast, Bad News Travels Faster - 04/15/07 03:51 PM
I was attending a local Fund Raising event yesterday.  We had just finished our meal and were commenting on the food when the subject of the local restaurant/carry-out came up.  Seems like the local place that has been frequented by the majority of the people there has gone down hill since one of the cooks left and another cook got fired.  
The "grumpy" owner has taken over the cooking and is skimping on ingredients and quality.  Everyone was commenting that they are no longer frequenting that establishment and have moved on to the competition down the road.  They commented on how nice … (2 comments)

Does Anyone Know How to Copy Outlook Express Emails - 04/13/07 02:31 PM
 
I have had the pleasant experience of my desktop and laptop crashing in the past and loosing all of my emails that have been saved in Outlook Express.
Does anyone know if there is a way to back all Outlook Express Emails onto a CD???  This may seem like a "dumb" question and the answer may be right in front of my face.  I like to keep my emails in folders in Outlook Express, Clients, Info I may need in the future, etc.
Any help  will be greatly appreciated,

The Pursuit of Happiness - 04/09/07 04:07 PM
Finally got around to watching The Pursuit of Happiness this weekend with Will Smith and his son.
What a great movie.  I highly recommend it to anyone.  This story is true.  Definitely a "must see" and a lesson to all of us when we feel like the real estate world it a little too much to handle.  If the character in this movie and real life made it, any of us can.

Fax to Email - 04/09/07 03:53 PM
Hello everyone.  I am sure a lot of you have used the fax to a phone number that goes into your email.
I need to set this up for my laptop when I am on the run, instead of always being chained to stop by the fax machine.
Any suggestions or successes would be appreciad

The final Comment on Showing Instructions: Don't Let the Cat Out - 04/05/07 08:46 PM
The final comment on the Showing Instructions, "Don't Let the Cat Out"
The instructions are usually easy to follow because the cat is hiding.  It is rare to show a property and have a visible cat.   Yes, there is always the evidence.  Sometimes you can smell it.  Sometimes you can see it.  It is very rare when there is a cat that is on the property with no evidence.
The other day I showed a property where the woman had a penthouse cat bed thing in her living room.  She had all of these shiny furry cat things on her floor.  She had two cat hutch … (1 comments)

Hopewell Boro - 04/05/07 03:15 PM
 
Spring Time in Hopewell Boro, altho it is slightly chilly today and snow flurries are outside my window.
Oh well, time to go feed the horses and change to go show some properties.  Better take the Hemi.
Seriously, folks, unless you personally experience it of live in close proximity to it, you can't justify writing about it just to get points and the locals don't take kindly to "out of towner's" taking their thunder.

While You Were Sleeping Rip Van Winkle - Clarification - 04/05/07 10:32 AM
I was asked to clarify where I was coming from on my last post, While You Were Sleeping Rip Van Winkle.
I have noticed thru out my real estate career, even before I was licensed, that there are certain agents that are top of the top and best of the best, a branded name.  King or Queen of Real Estate.   Driven to Succeed no matter what the cost.
There are agents that are good and steady with good reputations that go along and consistently produce at the same rate.
Other agents are questionable, not the best, not the best reputations, somewhat "questionable" (need I … (0 comments)

While You Were Sleeping Rip Van Winkle - 04/04/07 10:51 PM
Just like having to "Blog" every day multiple times a day...While You Were Sleeping...others of our lesser Realtor Associates have crept up and taken 'some" of the market share.
Are they better than us because they have passed us??? Of Course not, they were just there when we were not.
We all have set backs or Lulls in our lives and careers.  Just because a fellow realtor or colleague has "Passed" us in there stats does not mean that they are better than us, they simply passed us "while we were sleeping"...even in Princeton, the "Ivy League Town"

You have to "Blog" All the Time - 04/04/07 09:33 PM
it is obvious that in order to get your score up you have to "Blog" all the time.  Daily or multiple times a day.  I guess you can hire someone...all the while you hire a Virtural Assistant. and an Assistant and a Lawn Maintenance Person, not to mention a "Dog Walker" and a person to do whatever you do not have the time to do.
Lets see.., someone to clean my house, do my laundry, cook, clean, work with BUYERS, answer my emails, do my "Clerical" Duties.  Personal Shopper??? 
I think maybe we are all just too overwhelmed and we need time … (2 comments)
