We Never Gripe About Ourselves, We Leave That For Someone Else To Do! - 07/29/07 11:02 PM
Everywhere I've been today, I've caught an earful of griping.  The whole world is griping.  BUT I didn't hear anyone griping about themselves or what they did.  It's always someone else or something that someone else did that just chaps our heels. 
The thought hit me when I heard neighbor A griping about neighbor B and his complaints sounded legitimate.  Then later I heard neighbor B griping about neighbor A and HIS complaints sounded legitimate but each one spoke of their own innocence in the matter and each one sounded like they had all of the answers to solve the world's … (11 comments)

Fool me once, your fault. Fool me twice, my fault. - 07/29/07 10:49 PM
My phone numbers are registered on the "DO NOT CALL" list.  But occasionally I will receive a phone call from some type of telemarketer that wants to sell me something and doesn't want to take "NO" for answer. 
There's a simple little thing that I have learned to do to tell me if an incoming call is one of those.  After receiving that type of phone call, I capture the number and mark it with an "X" where the name is stored.  If I have their name, or the name of their company, I simply put an "X" in front of … (7 comments)

Online Renewals for Oklahoma Licensed Real Estate Agents Now Available. - 07/29/07 10:40 PM
The Oklahoma Real Estate Commission began July 1, 2007 to offer online renewal of licenses for Professional Real Estate Licensees in Oklahoma.  
I know that this is available in many of the other states. I am also licenses in Arkansas and they already offer this service to their licensed professionals. 
In Oklahoma, you renew every three years except for provisional sales associates.
This is going to be a great time and hassle saver.
I am so glad that we have moved into the internet renewal service.
July 1, 2007 also was the date that  continuing education records became available online for … (0 comments)

!@#$%^&*)(@!+!!! Not a type-o! I'm been escalated! - 07/27/07 07:12 AM
I don't curse!  I very seldom if ever even use a slang word, BUT DANG IT I'M MAD!! 
I'm on the laptop today because I've been fighting a virus on my  office computer all week and it ain't dead yet.  Someone stole my week and McAfee hasn't even been able to clean it yet.  The blankety blank (side note here to the dictionary police - I do not know if blankety blank is spelled correctly or not and frankly right now, I do not care, I have larger alligators snapping at my backside.)  - back to my sentence - the blankety blank people that … (20 comments)

Relaxing Reception Areas - 07/25/07 01:55 PM
I have always been told that the two most relaxing things are:
1.  Watching a campfire (fireplace will do).
2.  Listening to flowing water (creek, river, or waterfall sounds - an aquarium will do).
So it stands to reason that the most relaxing homes would have a fireplace and an aquarium.  What about your office. 
I am planning to have the mason come this next week and build a fireplace into our reception area, and then it's on to aquarium shopping.
Anyone have these things in their office and do they tend to relax your clients?

Don't Build Without a Survey! - 07/25/07 01:06 PM
Time and time again, I run across problems with a home not being where it's supposed to be and it could have been avoided!
Get a survey before you build.  A home is too large of an investment in time, money, and dreams to take the chance that you could be building on someone else's land.
I recently took a contract on a house that had never been surveyed.  We wrote the contract with a contingency on a satisfactory survey.  The survey revealed that part of the house was on the neighbor.
Wrote a contract recently on a commercial property, no … (3 comments)

Which features are consumers looking for? - 07/21/07 02:01 PM
I keep reading about particular features that buyers are looking for. But are the articles correct?Do these lists come about due to surveys that are filled out (which would meant that the majority of consumers that will fill out a survey ranked certain features as more desirable, not consumers in general), or due to what features are in more homes that sell (which doesn't mean anything because maybe it's the appropriate price of the house that causes it to sell or it's location).
So which features would really influence a buyer to buy a house over another listing if you don't … (3 comments)

What Am I Doing Right? - 07/21/07 12:41 PM
I do my own domain website and other websites.  I AM NOT A  COMPUTER GURU. 
I did a search for "property for sale Choctaw County" and one of my domain websites is #1 on Google and I have the top 5 sites in a Yahoo search and then also number 9 on that the front page.
Ok, Whatever I am doing right, I want to replicate.  I'm doing OK on Google but I'm doing great on Yahoo. 
I intend to keep swinging until I strike out, BUT I don't intend to strike out.
I want my clients to have top exposure … (4 comments)

You must live beyond yourself and I don't mean beyond your monetary means! - 07/20/07 06:55 AM
Many people live beyond themselves and it gets them into trouble because they are spending more than they make on a consistent basis.  That is a bankruptcy in the making, just a matter of time.
Let 's talk about living beyond ourselves that will not lead to bankruptcy, in fact...it leads to life more abundant. To effectively deal with today as it comes to me, I must live beyond who I am.  I must deal with the things that come, by dealing with them from my life in Christ Jesus.  If it's something bad, facing it with Christ is the best way … (3 comments)

Experiencing Difficulties? - 07/19/07 07:32 AM
If things are a little difficult lately, you may find encouragement in the book of ACTS.  One particular reading tells of Paul being arrested and boarded on a ship to be sent to Caesar for trial. 
A storm with hurricane force winds came up, the sailors could not control the ship so they just let the wind blow it where it wanted to.  The storm raged on and on and on, they didn't see the sun or the stars for several days. They tried reinforcing the ship with ropes to keep it together and threw their cargo and tackle overboard.  Fourteen … (4 comments)

The Garage Dilemma - 07/17/07 06:21 AM
I have encountered several websites recently that tell me that home builders are faced with the dilemma of the buyers desire for larger garages but that lots to build homes on are more likely to be smaller now than they were in the past.
If homes stay the same size, garages get bigger, but lots get smaller, homes have to go upward.  Are you seeing more 2 or 3 story homes being built?
Something has to give, to get more and more onto a smaller and smaller space.
Have you noticed any trends in building sizes in your area or maybe … (2 comments)

No mobile homes allowed to move into Idabel, Oklahoma - 07/14/07 09:15 PM
My town, Idabel, is not a rich town.  In fact, McCurtain County in which Idabel is the county seat, Choctaw County and Pushmataha county are the three poorest counties in Oklahoma in terms of per capita income and in terms of the number of children in the public school systems that are on free lunches.
When you drive through Idabel you will find some housing that would obviously be better replaced with nice mobile homes and yet Idabel will not allow mobile homes to be moved into the city limits.
Now who does this benefit?  Why not have designated areas where … (4 comments)

Buying a home is nothing like buying socks! - 07/14/07 04:03 PM
I don't know about you, but I am tired of buying things blind!  I bought some new socks the other day (at Wal-mart), put a pair on, wore them that day, took them off and they had holes in them and a toe on each foot was sticking through the sock!
They were the most expensive package of socks that Wal-mart had, so this completely caught me by surprise. Maybe I should buy my socks somewhere else.
I threw that pair away and a few days later, tried another pair and one of those did the same thing!
I hate blind … (5 comments)

Give an A+ to the kitchen with easy access from grocery shopping! - 07/14/07 03:45 PM
Ok, home designers, builders, architects, whoever lays out a house, please - please keep in mind the shopping trips from the grocery store!
I have toured the following homes this week that would present the following obstacles for the return from the grocery store:
1.  You drive into the garage, step up into the home, walk through a hallway, step down into a sunken room, step back up into the kitchen and finally set your groceries down.
2.  You drive up into a back covered patio, go through a sun-room, through a bedroom, into the kitchen to get rid of those bags.
3.  … (7 comments)
