Photo placement in MLS - 01/31/12 10:10 PM
They're at it again - changing over features in our MLS. The jury is out on the "new and better" features. I'll be letting MLS know first thing Monday AM with the change over. I already have 3 agents who have called and asked to come over to my house for a more "in depth" training because, for some unknown reason, I'm known as the MLS guru.
However, in today's training class, one thing that was stressed over and over - put your best 4 or 5 photos first!!!!

Okay, this is a short one. I'm sure you'll all know at least one of the answers, but, to be declared the official winner of this brain teaser, you'll need to know 4 answers:

Where are gas prices going? gasprices.com - 01/16/12 03:29 PM

For one thing, plan your necessary trips. Make your route the shortest by planning your route. When I'm showing homes to potential home buyers, I use my GPS and MLS mapping to make sure I'm going the most direct route.

Each week, as I prepare my market report for Tatum Highlands, a wonderful subdivision in Phoenix/Cave Creek, AZ, I'm amazed at the very low inventory. This week, 1/16/2012, is no different.

Is it the great location just minutes north of the expressways and Desert Ridge? Is it the community parks scattered throughout Tatum Highlands including the John Teets park with so many activities?

Saturday brain teaser - a good one to share with the kids and all animal lovers - 01/14/12 12:00 PM
Apparently, one side of a cat has more hair. The findings of the Swedish scientific establishment have been corroborated by a special enquiry by the BB Feline Federation. Many hair counts were taken of the side in question and consistently it was found to contain more hairs. The scientists determined that more hair was required on this side to insulate the cat from the elements while it was lying down. Perhaps you would like to examine a cat to confirm the findings. Before you do, can you guess which side of a cat has more hair?
