Some of my favorite Chistmas rock songs/videos... - 12/19/07 08:36 PM
This is a list of some of my favorite Christmas rock songs/videos. I like the older rock tunes. Back in the 1970s I was transformed into a rocker... and then in the 1980s into a head banger. I'm still a head banger at heart, but I still like all styles of … (1 comments)

I was wondering if Christmas decorations influence the possible sale of a house? I haven't had a listing during Christmas time before, so I don't have any experience with this.
Now that I think about it... there are 2 types of Christmas decorations. Christian decorations (ie baby Jesus, manger scene, wise … (22 comments)

I signed up for 6 leads in the area where I live. Obviously, cost was a consideration. Being that I'm totally new at this, I wasn't sure if 6 was enough or too much. But then again... how much is too much? I … (0 comments)

I didn't until the other day...
Finshed Room Over Garage
Sometimes we want to jam a ton of abbreviations or acronyms into the remarks section of a listing. This sort of reminds me of that phone commercial with the kid talking to her parents in acronymns. It's funny when the parent tries to … (13 comments)

Cost vs. Value web page. - 12/13/07 07:15 PM
I was reading my NAR e-mail and it pointed to the www.costvsvalue.com web page. Good information. I have had people ask me about projects before they put their house on the market. Being that I have a building background and home inspection background I can normally give them a ball park … (4 comments)

I'm going to be getting my ABR designation after I sell a few more houses as a buyer's rep. I passed the ABR test today. Wohoo. One of my instructors, for the ABR class, had at least 7 designations. It appears that the main designations are GRI, ARB, CRS and e-Pro.
Just out of curiosity... who … (2 comments)

ABR designation is good for listing agents, too! - 12/11/07 05:04 PM
This week I finally got around to taking the ABR classes. I needed the hours for renewing my license so I said why not?. I basically don't like working with buyers. I like listings. As slow as things are now, I'd take either.
I know the listing agent's and buyer's agent's goal … (2 comments)
