real estate: 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)

real estate: 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.

real estate: "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)

real estate: What Can American Idol Teach Us in Real Estate? - 05/20/09 09:29 PM
I have to admit that I have been glued to this season's American Idol. And, in an effort to justify all the hours I've spent in front of the tv over the past months, I've decided to point out some obvious and not so obvious lessons that we can learn from the American Idols!1. Have a dream. "You're going to Hollywood!!!" Woohoo!!!! It all starts with your heart. Is real estate really something that makes you happy? Do you love what you do? Can you imagine doing anything else? Having passion for what you do is something that can't be faked. … (7 comments)

real estate: Durham: Some Comic Relief re the Drought. . . - 03/03/08 10:50 AM
COME ON RAIN!!
The drought situation isn't funny, but, it's always fun to poke fun at local government, isn't it?!
These cartoons were in the local paper recently, and made me laugh. Hope you find some humor in them, too.
Durham, like many other North Carolina counties is suffering a serious drought -- the worst in recorded history. Below are the details of current water supply levels, and the county's stage IV conservation mandate.
For more details you can visit Durham's Water Conservation Division's website.
According to the Durham Water Conservation Division (as of March 2):
Current Conditions
Using the 30-day running average demand as of March … (3 comments)

Being a redhead myself, I can say this: Durham is the "Red-headed Stepchild" of the Triangle area of North Carolina.
The Triangle comprises primarily of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill -- and many surrounding cities and towns. But, Durham is definitely the point in the triangle that has something to prove. The beauty of our position is that we try harder -- both to share the many great things about our city and to continue improving our city … (0 comments)

real estate: SW Durham Real Estate: How I Chose Parkwood - 02/22/08 11:14 PM
Honestly, I never imagined myself living in Durham. But here's how it happened. This is a true story!
After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I bought my first home -- a townhome actually -- in Carrboro. I loved the small-town atmosphere and the sense of community there. I thought I would never leave. Then, as I accumulated more "stuff" and desired to live in a neighborhood a little quieter and less "studenty" and a home a little larger, I began looking for a detached home. I quickly found that there were no homes in my price range … (0 comments)

real estate: How do you keep "The Secret" going? - 02/19/07 08:43 PM
The Secret has changed my life. It's what you hear most often when people talk about this phenomenon, because it's the most powerful message of empowerment that there is. We can have, be, and do anything we want -- simply by using the law of attraction to call it to us.
It's not a difficult concept at all. But, it isn't a change that has come without its challenges for me, either. I find it so easy to fall back into old habits. There's a lifetime of unlearning to do in order to totally assimilate The Secret.
Starting with thoughts that life is … (13 comments)
