How Embarrassing! Has this ever happened to you??? - 09/20/10 09:46 PM
People who know me, know that I embarrass myself quite often. But today may have taken the cake.
Rewind a couple days... I went on a listing appointment for a FSBO. I thought it went pretty well, but I knew that one of the other agents being interviewed was a family friend of the sellers, so I wasn't all that confident.
Fast forward to today. I'm driving down the freeway and my cell phone rings. I'm in a section that my phone often has spotty coverage, so I was a bit surprised that it even rung. Turns out, it's the … (29 comments)

My Saturday with a Rooster - You Can't Make This Stuff Up! - 09/18/10 10:01 PM
My friend, and past client, asked me to come to her house while she was out of town to take care of her animals, knowing that I'm an animal fanatic. She has three dogs, three cats, a slew of chickens, and some ducks. I agreed, looking forward to seeing what she had done with her place.
She left me detailed instructions for the care of each animal. She had also asked that I come over an hour before sundown to let the chickens out of their pen to "stretch their legs". That was funny to me, but hey, … (9 comments)

How My Pitbull, Roxie, Healed My Broken Heart! - 09/17/10 01:53 PM
I am a dog fanatic! I can't get enough of my dog, watching other people's dogs, and watching tear jerkers about heroic and sweet dogs! I personally don't feel that my house is a home without a dog in it.
My new girl, Roxie!
I recently adopted Roxie from a local rescue, and could not be happier with the addition to my family. She is incredibly energetic (understatement of epic proportions!), and smart, and oh-so cuddly. And, she has mended my broken heart.

Everything Old is New Again! The Revival of Historic Downtown Durham, NC - 09/17/10 12:28 PM
"Don't throw the past away You might need it some rainy day Dreams can come true again When everything old is new again"
There seems to be a nationwide love affair with old houses. Call it nostalgia, call it trendy, but there is no doubt that we love the history, charm, and quality construction of an historic home. Across America, starry-eyed home buyers are taking the dive into old or historic home ownership.
In Durham, NC, the "historic" bug has reached epidemic proportions. The preservation and conservation of Durham's unique architectural styles has been on the public radar for many … (0 comments)

"Those Are Some Awful Tastin' Words"... Be Careful What You Say - 09/16/10 06:10 PM
Sometimes we wish we could eat our words. And sometimes we find that those words taste awful.
There's a lot of political dissonance these days. A lot of people finding that what they thought they were saying in confidence has become public record. Politicians are, by definition, public figures. You might think that they would have learned by now to be careful what they say, and to whom.
"If you can't say something nice..."
Real estate agents aren't necessarily public figures, but we also need to be careful what we say, and to whom. Not only because, well, it's … (4 comments)
