Gimme a Break -- Just for Today - 11/15/11 09:32 AM
I need a break -- a break from the emails, the phone calls, the market reports, the showing feedback, the questions, the anxiety, the fear, the meetings...
Not a long break. Just for today.
I don't know how some people do it. They just keep going and going and going. Not me. My brain is mush. My focus is gone.
Time to relax and take a breath. Time to enjoy the sunshine and very mild temperatures we have on this late fall day. Time to have a day of nothing. No plans. No goals. Just enjoying the time.
I'll be back tomorrow, … (10 comments)

To Be a Team Player, You Have to Play By the Same Rules - 11/11/11 08:36 AM
"We're a team."
I seem to hear that a lot these days.
This real estate market we're in presents us with issues we could never have dreamed of just a few years ago. A lot of times I end my day just scratching my head wondering what tomorrow will bring with this or that transaction.
Yet as challenged as we might feel by what we face each day, communicating with each other helps generate ideas on how to handle certain situations, how to grow our business, and how to better serve our customers and clients. It provides support and reminds … (2 comments)

Starting the Day with Some Extra Chai! - 11/11/11 07:54 AM
It's Friday and I decided to start my day at Starbucks. Brought my laptop with me to get some work done before heading into the office where things can get a little hectic.
While I don't frequent this place as much as I used to or would like to, apparently I'm here enough for the employees to greet me by name as I enter the door and prepare my drink without having to ask what I'll have. That kind of service never gets old.
What made today's visit even sweeter was having the barista hand me my usual chai tea one size … (3 comments)

A Reminder That We All Need Each Other in This Business - 11/09/11 07:43 PM
I was out on tour yesterday looking at some new listings with some colleagues when we stopped at a house listed by a co-broke. After walking through the house and hearing a little bit about it, conversation turned to how things were going in the world of real estate. And soon it turned into a discussion of some scams that are occurring in our area.
I've heard and read about mortgage fraud, forged documents, and outright dishonesty about pre-approvals. But because I like to believe I live and work in an area that is somehow exempt from these sorts of … (6 comments)

God is still listening - 11/06/11 10:03 AM
Sometimes the best blog posts are those that are short and sweet and deliver a message such as this. Thanks to Todd Clark for this one. Make it a great Sunday!
Via Todd Clark (Broker) (503)524-9494 (Beaverton, Oregon Real Estate Expert) (Knipe Realty):
I loved this quote, as you may not always have the words or know how to ask for help, but God still knows what we need. As long as you believe and have him in your heart God will listen to our prayers and answer them. Remember God never gives us more than he thinks we can handle and … (1 comments)

When All You Can Do Just Isn't Enough - 11/05/11 01:43 PM
I spent much of last weekend "in the dumps." One of my aunts had passed away, and the reality of her being gone set in hard late Saturday and into Sunday. And I was continuing to try to wrap my head around the fact that two of the three closings I was supposed to have that Friday didn't happen.
One of these deals came down to financing and the inability to get some. It was heartbreaking. The buyers were a young couple, hardworking, and committed to doing everything they could to make this happen. I was committed to making it … (3 comments)
