Read this BEFORE you buy a cell phone on Ebay!! - 06/21/07 03:20 PM
Ok, so my cell phone was stolen about 3 weeks ago at my step-daughter's graduation. My dad had a brand new Nextel phone he gave me because I was told I could activate it by a Sprint guy. When I tried to activate it they said we are on Spint, not on … (4 comments)
Buyer's Representation agreements - 06/20/07 10:41 AM
Everyone says "get a buyer's rep agreement." To that I say, they are a waste of paper. Why? Because you have absolutely NO WAY of knowing if that person went out and bought a house with another Realtor!! The good, kind, honest people....you don't need a buyer's rep agreement with those … (5 comments)
Getting organized in your life - 06/19/07 05:26 PM
With 6 children ages 5-18 living in our home and the two of us adults, believe me when I say I understand the need for organization. Without it life is total chaos. I won't lie and say my home is totally organized, nope, but I've got a good start and staying … (1 comments)
listing photos in general - 06/17/07 06:46 PM
My son bought me a book for Mother's day this year. It was titled, "The Most Beautiful Villages of Tuscany". Some day I hope to see these villages in person but for now I will content myself with seeing the pictures. That brought to mind something about listings and the photos. … (5 comments)
One very important thing to do before you start shopping for a new home - 06/16/07 12:23 AM
I have people coming at me left and right wanting to purchase my listings. GREAT! Only problem is that more than half are not qualified financially and lenders are turning them down. So BEFORE you contact a Realtor about that house you see for sell that you'd like to purchase, do … (2 comments)

Staying true to your faith while being in a sales position - 06/14/07 03:48 PM
So I see there are a lot of agents out there that are Christians. I have to wonder if they, like me, have conflicts in their daily careers that make it hard to stay true to your faith and still be a successful agent. As a Christian, I don't believe in … (6 comments)

So how are you Texans enjoying this scorching hot weather? Here in Harris county where I live, we have had temps in the high 90s this week and I and my car are not enjoying it. It's too hot to be wearing business clothes that is for sure! Five minutes out … (0 comments)
Those cool "magic" erasers are good for auto detailing too! - 06/09/07 12:06 AM
Ok, so I buy those magic erasers for my own home and give them to my customers who are selling their houses. They work great in the house on crayon marks on walls, fingerprints on doors, etc. But I just found out yesterday while cleaning my suburban that they also work … (1 comments)

Why does it seem the media is out to get us Realtors? - 06/06/07 12:20 PM
I have been observing what to me seems to be a media attack on real estate professionals recently. Maybe it's always been that way and I'm just noticing it now that I've been a Realtor for a couple of years. I don't know but I really think it is well.....RUDE. I … (5 comments)
They said I'd never sell it! - 06/05/07 11:34 PM
So I have this listing that everyone told me would never sell and finally today we have what appears to be a solid contract. It's not that people weren't interested in this property. No, I had at least 20 offers on this property. The problem is that this is a 2 … (0 comments)
