- 04/26/08 04:17 PM
Although the real estate market that I specialize in is; Smith Mountain Lake and the Lake is what we are known for, but my heart is also held by our adjacent City, Roanoke, Virginia.

glenda mcdaniel: Where did that DOG go....
- 04/21/08 03:22 PM
After being in Real Estate over 20 years, I have some animal stories but I am sure I am not the only one. I especially remember the time that I showed a home and a Terrier, dashed out the door as I began to open the front door. Well this can be a rather unpredictable occurence that can truly slow down your showing schedule. You cannot call the Dog back, because you DO NOT KNOW ITS NAME? So you yell come DOG, Come hear DOG. Of course, this Dog does not know who you are yelling for or WHO YOU ARE, so … (11 comments)
glenda mcdaniel: Best Camera and Lens for Real Estate Agents
- 04/21/08 02:57 PM
Last year I decided to buy a new digital camera, so the Nikon D40 was the chosen one. My reasoning was it came with two separate lens 200 and a wide angle 55 and was easy to use. So far this has been a great camera with one exception, when my husband dropped it and broke the Wide Angle lens and the Flash. So my invest- went a little further, I now have a new detachable flash and I also invested in One Lens that goes from 55 to 200. Makes life simpilier, not having to change lens from when I … (28 comments)
