dallas: Best Friend's Week-ending SuperBowl Week beginning - 01/21/11 02:14 PM
While I would love to share a cool story that a good friend of mine shared with me we can't do that here for fear of copy right issues so for my friends who might want a copy or those who might want to be a friend, you can get a copy as well.

IF you are a REALTOR leave me a comment here with your e-mail and get the story of How one CEO chose his replacement. You might guess what happens but, it is still a good read about … (0 comments)

dallas: Best X-mas ever? - 12/16/10 04:50 PM
Just got the results back on the Hubby's cancer fight-He's winning! Numbers are undetectible and if you have had or ever known anyone in that fight you know there is no better gift. So this year at least my Christmas is perfect! It doesn't matter what else happens or doesn't happen-I'm good!- been Blessed.
The headline came from our youngest now eleven-Mommy, What was your best Xmas ever? I have 2-The year Daddy brought me home to Texas and this year due to the above facts.  What was your's about? Doesn't have to be health related it could be best gift … (0 comments)

dallas: This living a life stuff-be real and let the world in. - 12/01/10 11:19 AM
I admire those folks who let the entire world know who they are right from the cradle. Most kids seem to do that naturally then somewhere along the line we lose some of that voice that says, "Hello world, here I am: like me or not, I'm happy with who I am and so there." It disappears. Why does it go away? We decide to find a way to fit in. To act like the cool kids or the tough kids or whomever.
Not anymore, This past year I have shown the world a lot about who I am and I'm … (0 comments)

dallas: Seriously-Don't miss this once a year opportunity! - 12/01/10 10:13 AM
This is an open letter to Lisa Molino, an aspiring Networker who taught me something today! We both joined an online Networking group on Linkedin and she was mystified that no one was "talking" in the group it seemed that all they wanted was to connect to anyone/everyone and that is like taking a shotgun to a dove hunt. You will probably get the bird but, what the heck do you do with it then? (Sorry for the Texas style example if that was too shocking for anyone)--Let's talk Networking:
Dear Lisa,
Well Lisa I think you have a winner attitude and … (0 comments)

dallas: Do you know the Group? Home from Space is still Home-just from a different angle! - 11/30/10 04:59 AM
Rambles this morning-
Love the concept: The Group from Colorado They started Ninjas-I found them years ago and loved the CRS class on Ninja Selling-Now I am liking the blog posts! Like everyone else I too come from someplace- This same topic came up yesterday when talking with one of our agents- I am blessed and cursed to be in real estate. My mothers fault-She took her 4 kids to new home builders for years for decorating ideas for our personal home. We ended up moving 21 times before I was 18 (Not all military-some was Motorola too) and had many … (0 comments)

dallas: Why buy now? Affordable homes, Bonds, Grants, VA programs - 08/18/10 04:32 PM
I took an affordable housing class in Dallas this morning towards the designation and "Holy cow" my head is overloaded with all of the ways to do this. There are  so many ways out there that we could be helping folks buy a home! Need to get the word to the masses. Bond programs, Grants, low low interest loans. There will never, not in my lifetime, anyway be a better time to buy a home.
If you are a Veteran do you know that there are programs for you not only at a Federal level but at a State of Texas and sometimes … (2 comments)

dallas: Summer days and nights. - 07/29/10 11:16 AM
Did you know that July was National Ice Cream Month? Only 2 days to make up for that or you could take the link to homemade ice cream and use the recipes on August 15th-Which is National Relaxation Day. Imagine Lounger breezes heat and a bowl of homemade (by the kids even better) Ice Cream. Check out that Link and plan a peaceful Sunday afternoon.
Payback could be a trip for the family to the Dallas Arboretum in the Month of August for only $1.00 you can take the whole family and maybe a few extras. Check out the late summer blooms … (2 comments)

dallas: New Office-Long day-Renewed me! - 07/13/10 03:30 AM
The hardest part of making a move to a new office is the physical move sometimes but, it is also a mental move. I am wondering if the same thing happens to buyers when they seek a new home. I found myself trying to rearrange my desk to the "most productive" direction. Maybe there is something to this afterall.  I wonder what direction my first formal desk faced? Come to think of it way back then it was East! that is the direction I am facing now. We will see in the next few weeks if it really makes a difference. … (1 comments)

dallas: Change can be really good for you! - 02/24/10 11:48 PM
I was considering a move-across country. I had a snow day with my daughter and a long talk with my husband-then I got an offer at home (here in Texas) actually got 2 of them but, one wasn't real (couldn't be trusted). We decided to take the real one and now I am blown away each day by the amazing opportunity.  I am blessed to be in the middle of a group of producing, creative, fun agents. They aren't in the office very often they seem to drop in and drop off contracts and then head out again to gather a couple … (6 comments)

dallas: What's going on this week at the Office? - 04/05/08 02:39 PM

Easy floor plan and Easy to show.  It's had it's face washed this weekend so if you have or are the gardener who wants to live in Frisco, just north of Main street, Don't let the roadwork stop you from seeing this one. GREAT yard. House is nice too! Camfield Frisco, TX 75034

dallas: Jeff Crilley came to visit - 04/05/08 02:31 PM
When one of the TV guys shows up for an office meeting the agents come out in droves! Even top producing agents who may stop by for a bit of lunch while usually on the run to important appointments-sat down to listen to Jeff's comments and join in the giggles.
We had the pleasure of a visit from MR. Jeff Crilley of Channel 4 here in Dallas. He spoke to our office about "How to market using little to no money, on building a recognizable brand and getting attention from the press." That wasn't the real topic but it covers what we learned … (0 comments)

dallas: Just look at these numbers for Texas! - 01/24/08 02:22 PM
Of the top ten cities in the U.S two of the top ten are in Texas and both are seeing an INCREASE in home values! What are you saying when someone asks how is the market? I saw an articule yesterday where a long time broker in another southern state was crying the blues over the state of the state in his state. I hope that you are celebrating the state of our state for your customers so that they can take advantage of this incrediblly rare opportunity to grab a slice of the american pie dream of home ownership.  By the … (1 comments)

dallas: When all else fails-Trade it! - 11/29/07 11:21 AM
1031 when all else fails! Trade it!
As some of you know I am licensed in two states: Texas and Florida which works for us because we enjoy the Sunshine state and we have children and grands who live there. Which brings me to the point. My oldest daughter and mother to two of our grandchildren has had her home on the market for over a year in south FLorida. She is Mrs Clean (You can eat at my house but, probably not off the floor!) Her house-no problem! At any rate while they have had some traffic no, successful offers.  I'll … (1 comments)

dallas: No real estate resolutions yet? - 11/19/07 12:45 PM
I am adding to mine daily it seems:
I will schedule my Buyer seminars 3 at a time so that I can offer options when people tell me they can't make the first date. (No more excuses-when I can solve it!)
I am researching and plan to buy a video camera and will be adding longer "Live" looking updates to my website. It will probably be a Sony, unless something serious makes me change my mind-I have been using their digital cameras for over 5 years and love them.  Here's a well researched link for anyone else looking into this from a consumer reports … (3 comments)

dallas: Short Sale Seller to Do list - 10/09/07 02:07 PM
HelpRHome:  If you have discussed the four best choices with the lender or had a friend do it and they have agreed to let you take steps to avoid Foreclosure; it is time to take some serious steps to achieve the sale. Remember to call your tax advisor and ask them at least two questions: What impact do I have if I sell the property for less than my mortgage? and what impact do I have if I sell the property for more than my mortgage? What do you advise me to do about it?
This is plain old real estate advice … (1 comments)
