Ipad APPS - which one DO I NEED? - 11/21/10 09:24 PM
I was reading the post by Debbie Lynn TO Ipad or NOT to Ipad  and I got to thinking....
I have an iPad - hubby bought me the 32G for my birthday, yes I will never ever fill up the memory.
That was 3 months ago and I know I'm still not using it to it's fullest capacity.
I do know I've read more books in the past 3 months than the past 3 years.  I always have a book with me, since Kindle is loaded as an app.
I have games, Skpe, Dropbox, etc... but what can I do on … (1 comments)

When fireplaces are outlawed only outlaws will have fireplaces. - 11/21/10 09:03 PM
IT's not just San Joaquin County that has a 'check before you burn" and No Burn Days.  Yikes.
We are told on burn days to only burn Duraflame logs... I wonder who owns "duraflame"  Must be a pretty big lobby.  in the mean time, farmers burn all day any day (or so it seems).
Via Gene Wunderlich - Realtor®, Government Affairs Director (Southwest Riverside County Association of Realtors):

How about you - shoes or purses?
(Plus purses are like boxes you can put things in them.... and surprises can come in them....)
Via Joni Staples Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate (Joni knows Lake Livingston! 935-650-9017):

Selfish People Suck - 11/16/10 01:43 AM
Selfish People Suck  (I tried to think of another word, nothing else captured the sentiment.) Real Estate is NOT and Can NOT be a selfish business.  Not if you, as a REALTOR want to be in real estate for a sustainable amount of time. Real Estate can not be a selfish business if you, as a REALTOR want people to refer business to you. Real Estate can not be a selfish business if you want your colleagues to WANT to be in a transaction with you. Selfishness comes in many disguises in real estate.  Have you ever experienced any of these?  Did you recognize … (17 comments)

Secret Wedding Site Within 1 Hour of Tracy - 11/09/10 01:13 AM
Secret Wedding Site Within 1 hour-ish of Tracy, CA
I've lived in the Bay Area for 30+ years and I'm always surprised there are really awesome places I've not only never been, that I have never heard of.
Nestledown, is one of them.  This was the coolest place.  They do 90% Weddings and the other 10% the property is used for non-profit organizations only. 
125 pristine acres nestled in the Santa Cruz mountains, exit Summit Road off of Highway 17.
Nestledown has a "barn", it's not a barn, it's a 2 story reception hall that has a man made lake … (8 comments)

Predatory or Protective? The Tale of the Buyer Broker Agreement - 11/08/10 07:30 PM

66.9% Ain't Bad! That's the Homeownership Rate in the United States - 11/02/10 03:08 PM
I love the stats.  This certainly puts Home Ownership into perspective.  So... are you ready to buy a home?  Do you think owning a home is important?  Is owning a home a goal that you have?
 
 
Via Brian Block -- Northern Virginia & D.C. Real Estate (RE/MAX Allegiance, Managing Broker/Branch Vice President):
Housing is dead!  No American wants to own a home anymore.  The American Dream is over.
At least that's what you'd think from listening to some of the recent media reports.
This sensational headline would certainly make you think so: Homeownership at lowest level in a decade
Yet … (4 comments)

Who MAKES you the BEST you CAN BE? - 11/02/10 02:48 PM

 
Who Makes you the BEST you CAN BE?  How to reach the success you want?
How do you create more wealth, more success, etc?  Well you hang around with like minded people.
Aristotle Onasis once said that if he lost all his money he could recreate the wealth. To do that, the most important thing he would do is get in the presence of wealthy people.
He then explained why that is so very important.There were three reasons:#1) Wealthy people knew experts that could help you out with any project.#2) Wealthy people had money to finance your good ideas.#3) Wealthy … (3 comments)
