Happy Birthday Carol Lalumondier
Carol was born on the Fourth of July (I can't reveal what year) and it's only appropriate because she's such a FIRECRACKER! We had a delightful lunch at El Maguey Mexican Restaurant! Some REALTORS® had to leave before all the excitement began..... Carol gave us a wonderful demonstration of her knowledge, not only real estate but also the Mexican Hat Dance. Of course her version was quite different from the original version... she just sat in her chair and smiled! Happy Birthday Carol!! By the way, Carol is an Active Rain Member! How To Stay Safe This 4th At The Lake Of The OzarksIt's a common known fact that many people go to the Lake of the This year if you want to stay safe be extra careful not to consume any of the water while swimming. Recent testing has found levels of e. coli bacteria that are above the state's acceptable limits. The samples that showing the highest levels were found at Horseshoe Bend.

Want To Know What Crime Is Going On In Your Neighborhood?I've just learned of www.crimereports.com .... a great website that What a useful tool this could be when clients ask, "How's the Crime in this neighborhood?" Just point them to the website! It appeared that there was a place to also search for sex offenders. They give you the option of signing up for e-mail notifications of crimes in a certain area.

I Am Not Pleased With My Realtor.... So When The Listing Is Up..... He's HistoryAgain this week I received a desperate call from a lovely Seller.... My heart just bleeds for these people. She's hooked up with a REALTOR® that doesn't call and doesn't perform as we should. He's too wrapped up in his own problems and is sharing his woes with his client. This could create a swarm of trouble, resulting in you losing a listing! Is that what we should do? Absolutely NOT! Are these the agents that cause us to be associated with used car salespersons? Absolutely. In this trying time we all need to make an extra effort for our Sellers and Buyers...... Listen to them... Contact them, let them know what's going on. They deserve special treatment. After all they are our bread and butter! Enjoying Kansas City's Downtown Farmer's Market
With my relatives in town I was there just last week. The fruit and vegetables were more than plentiful and lucious looking! The flowers were big and beautiful! My relatives from Norway really enjoyed the sites and sounds of the Farmer's Market, as did I!

A Couple Of Ways To Make Sure You Are Prepared For DisasterI was sitting on my deck going over a list of things i've jotted down for May blog topics... boy am I behind, it's JUNE!

The tricky tornado wasn't particular with it's distruction: businesses, restuarants, schools and homes.

Do you re-visit your homeowners insurance policy each year to make sure that you have ample coverage in case of fire or tornado? A quick conversation with your insurance agent could prevent you from being caught up in a nasty mess.
Just a couple of ideas to help you be prepared.
Flooding in Branson MissouriI've been meaning to post this... a couple of weekends ago we made a fast trip down to Branson Missouri to see my favorite aunt and uncle. I've mentioned before that my uncle is a fishing guide with River Run Outfitters in Branson. Branson as well as the rest of Southern Missouri has had more than it's share of rain over the past few months. So much so that Branson has had to open all 10 of it's flood gates down by the fish hatchery. Here's a video:
Changing the Perception of REALTORS®, One Person At A Time
Do any of you use Google Reader? I do. I have searches set up that correspond with the area I sell real estate in. One day I was reading my Google Reader and found this woman who had posted on her blog about an experience she had with a REALTOR®, which made her decide to sell her home on her own. I responded to her, giving her some information about the process that evidently her previous REALTOR® hadn't given her and gave her some ideas where she could market her home since she was trying to sell it on her own. She was very kind and appreciative of the information. We wrote back and forth and when she got ready to list the home with an agent she told me I could list it. Unfortunately, the home was an hour and a half from me but I assured her that I knew the #1 agent in that county and felt confident that she'd do a good job for her. She interviewed the agent, decided she felt the same way about her that I did, and the rest is history. The house has been listed for maybe two weeks and is SOLD! Even if it's just one person at a time, I've helped change one person's opinion of REALTORS® |

Several of us agents from the Reece and Nichols Kansas City North office got together today at lunch to celebrate the birthday of one of our country's great leaders........ Our Broker: Carol Lalumondier.
Ozarks for the holiday weekend.
no matter where you are in the U.S. you can put in an address or a zip code and see what kind of crime is happening in your neighborhood.
How long has it been since you were at the Farmer's Market in downtown Kansas City?
The damage was eye opening and sad.
Another thing you can do is to take pictures of everything in your home and upload the pictures to one of the on-line photo storage sites like Flickr or Photobucket for safe keeping. Then should you need to access your pictures to make an inventory of your possessions they will be right there waiting for you from any computer.
