centerton ar real estate: Always be “apologetic” to your clients. - 10/21/10 06:08 AM
Here again don't go reading anything into the heading (topic) until you hear the rest of the story as Paul would say.  But I have news for you; you do this every day if you're in the business.  Why you may ask well I'll be glad to tell you.  You do this because that's what you were taught to do.  The meaning of (a pal e jet' ik), defending in writing or speech; vindicating.  Now there are those who might not agree with me but if it's not in writing it did not happen.  If it's not in writing it does … (6 comments)

centerton ar real estate: Don’t get caught in a “gulfy”. - 10/19/10 07:06 AM
Man I have only been involved in this once in my real estate career.  Don't want to do it again.  The taste is not a good one and it lingers for awhile.  It depends on you but I can assure you it will happen to you sooner or later.  It can't be avoided and all I can hope for is that it does not happen more than once.  Oh by the way the meaning of (gul' fe) full of whirlpools.  Stay out of the whirlpools and enjoy the day.  Join wordsmith on Activerain.

centerton ar real estate: Serve your clients from a “nappy”. - 10/18/10 06:04 AM
Ok I can see it in your faces "he said what"?  Yep I said it and I'll stand by it.  I serve my clients from a nappy.  While looking over the Webster © I found this word and immediately thought to use it.  Don't go reading anything into this as you know the English language is tricky at best.  Anyway the meaning of (nap' e) a small shallow, flat bottomed dish for serving food.  Serve you clients from a nappy through the real estate procedure and it will be a feast for all.  Join wordsmith on Activerain.

centerton ar real estate: Don’t “oppugn” another agent. - 10/17/10 06:12 AM
You can do this if you want.  I don't recommend it but I know it happens.  Yes I have done it myself but I have regretted it as soon as it left my mouth.  Sad to say it happens often in our business.  Remember what go around comes around and it might come back to haunt you.  The meaning of (e pyoon') to oppose with argument, criticize adversely; call into question.  Unless you're a perfectionist in everything you do don't throw stones I have and when they bounce back they hurt.  Join wordsmith on Activerain.

It all started years ago when of course I was younger.  It was something I could not help and I had no control over it.  As the years went on I just came to understand it happens to some people not only males.  Now what happened to me is "in" as that a lot of people do this and it's stylish to have this.  The meaning of (dep' e lat): to deprive of hair, to remove hair from a part of the body.  I know you can't tell or notice but I'm follicle deprived.  Join wordsmith on Activerain.

centerton ar real estate: Do you feel sometimes the real estate market is just a game of “jackstraws”? - 10/13/10 05:44 AM
If you don't know the game just stay in this market and sooner or later you'll know what I'm talking about.  In this game (market) by the time you go through all the hoops and loops to get a home under contract there still is the anticipation it may all fall apart.  The meaning of jackstraw: a narrow strip of wood, plastic etc. used in a game played by tossing a number of such strips into a jumbled heap and trying to remove them one at a time without moving any of the others.  Aren't some of the deals your trying … (6 comments)

centerton ar real estate: Do you have faith in what you do not see? - 10/12/10 04:55 AM
When I started in this business I thought okay I'll get my license and sit at a desk.  People will line up to call me and I'll make money and not do much.  Goes to show you what I knew.  Anyway do you have faith the market will turn around?  Do you believe it has hit its low?  If so hold onto your wallet while I don't think it has hit its low I do believe it is close and the market will come back like gangbusters.  Have faith wait and see.  It's a great day to buy or sell a … (40 comments)

centerton ar real estate: Well I can’t say I never again. - 10/10/10 05:00 AM
Yesterday I had nothing to do in the morning.  No lawn work, no golf nothing.  I am an early riser that is to say about 04:00 to 05:00 AM I am up and greeting the day.  I did this for years and I do not need an alarm to wake up.  Anyway there I was in slumber land and my eyes popped open at 04:31.  I thought just a minute more since there was nothing to do.  Next thing I knew it was 07:10 and the day was shot.  I wasted about 3 whole hours sleeping.  At my age I can't afford … (17 comments)

centerton ar real estate: Be in “consort” with you clients - 10/09/10 08:40 AM
Now don't read anything into this.  As you know the English language with any one word it can have several meanings.  So what were the visions you had when you read the title shame on you?

centerton ar real estate: Be careful of what you say or be sued for “malediction”. - 10/05/10 04:56 AM
Ok in my former line of work we did this all the time.  Of course this was not about the general public but other law enforcement people it was just common practice.  Was most of it true of course it was so maybe we did not do this?  But and I caution you in this "politically correct" society that we live in you need to be cautious.  What is the meaning of (mal' e dik' shen) a calling down of evil on someone, evil talk about someone?   Don't give your clients anything to be malediction about you.  Be honest and fair … (5 comments)
