Last night while watching ESPN and feeling overwhelmed from a long day of selling real estate, I watched a program that totally changed my mind.

Charlie Wilks is your normal 14 year old kid in Emporia Kansas.  He plays nose tackle for the Freshman football team and at 5'10" and 185 pounds, he is a force to recon with.  Charlie plays with one major disadvantage, he is blind!  He lost his sight when he was five years old. 

Watch this video and then try to tell me there is a challenge that you can not overcome!  If you can not get inspired by this, you are uninspirable.

We have been working on a short sale for a while here in Panama City.  The second mortgage quickly agreed to release for 3000 but the first continued to ignore me.  I knew the negotiators name so I called a senior supervisor to tell them that this negotiator was ignoring me and would not return my calls and emails.  After the negotiator got a good chewing from the supervisor, my broker recieved a call saying that the lender would approve the file only if it was transferred away from me and to another agent.  Evidently the negotiator did not like being called out, too bad, it needed to happen.  So my broker puts the file in another agents name and low and behold, the lender approves the short sale for $120,000.  Now is when the real stupidity comes in, the seller owes $104,000 on the home and even after paying the 3000 to the second, the first would be paid in full and would not require a short sale.  What is even dumber is the BPO came in at $85,000 and most likely an appraisal would follow suit.

You just can't fix stupid sometimes............. Rest assured this one will get done!!!

Real estate is a person to person, face to face, email to email, phone to phone business.  To get more business we need to get in front of as many people as we can and ask for their business.  This requires a great deal of time and energy to accomplish, it takes great determination and drive to do this.

Are you an under the cover agent?  Does your day start when you get around to it? 

What time do you start your day?  What time do you end your day?  How much actual work do you do?

REMEMBER that no amount of preparation, education and knowledge will do you any good if you are too lazy to get out of bed in the morning.

Southwest Airlines to serve new Panhandle airport

The Associated Press

PANAMA CITY, Fla. -- Southwest Airlines plans to serve the new Northwest Florida-Panama City International Airport when the airport opens in May.

The company announced plans to serve the airport Tuesday afternoon. The Panhandle airport is the first new airport expected to open in the United States since Sept. 11, 2001. It is being built in Bay County on 4,000 acres donated by The St. Joe Co., a former timber company started by an heir to the DuPont family fortune in the 1930s.

The company, which owns hundreds of thousands of acres of Panhandle land, lured Southwest Airlines to the new airport under a unique agreement to provide fuel if the airline does not have sufficient passengers in first two years. Executives from the airline, the company and the surrounding community celebrated the news at an announcement ceremony on Tuesday.
