Multi - taking a phone call - working a contract - Tasking - 03/12/07 03:38 PM

My day is riddled with multitasking.  Jumping from one contract, client, house to another.  I was talking with someone this weekend.  I said, "Allergy shots won't fit with my lifestyle."  She said, "Why?"  I said, "I cannot sit somewhere for 30 minutes and not do anything."  Another person looked at me and said, "It's only 30 minutes."  I quickly said, "A whole freaking 30 minutes!

Open House, Closed House, Safe House - 03/04/07 11:38 AM

The muscle of a committment letter - 03/02/07 08:37 PM
I have a client looking for a home that has a committment letter from her lender.  This is strong letter.  In fact, if you are one of those agents who do not know the difference in preapproval, approval or committment letters read the posting by Eric Hemmer.
