Today I Am Thankful... - 11/27/08 12:46 PM
I try to live my life in a way that expresses gratitude. I try to live without regrets, and to remember to slow down and remember the small things. The crazy, hectic and stressful world we all live in sometimes makes it really difficult. That's why Thanksgiving is one of those days that I really love, because I can spend time focusing on what I am thankful for.
I'm thankful that although I had a bout of crippling arthritis at a young age, there was a surgical option that could relieve my pain and give me my life back. Not everyone … (3 comments)

The Reputation Of Realtors - A Small Attempt At Reversing It - 11/17/08 02:26 PM
Used car salesman. Slicksters. Smooth talkers. Greedy. Overpaid. We've all heard the adjectives used to describe our profession. I truly believe that most agents are honest and trustworthy. Most of us look at ourselves as business owners and counselors instead of a sales person. Unfortunately, not all agents are like this and those that are well deserve the reputation that the public has bestowed upon us. Their actions are applied to all of us in general - fair or not.
I grew up in a real estate family. I know how the public perceives us, and I've known it since childhood. However, it … (4 comments)

Thinking About Selling Your Home On Your Own? - 11/16/08 04:51 PM
Selling Your Home On Your OwnIf you need to sell your home, and you are considering doing it on your own, it is probably because you are trying to save the commission. Don't let someone tell you that it is impossible, because it isn't. There are plenty of owners who successfully sell on their own. Over the years, we have helped these owners and found that the most common issue for owners is that they didn't realize the commitment and effort it would take. For a lot of them, it became a full-time job.Here are some questions to ask yourself before … (0 comments)

My American Hero - Veteran's Day Is Today - THANK YOU VETERANS!! - 11/11/08 01:13 PM
I posted this when I got back from Las Vegas last week, and shortly after I did I realized that I should have saved it for Veteran's Day. I was so excited about what happened to me personally, that I couldn't wait to share it on Active Rain. So, I had simply planned on making a new post about Veteran's Day... but I really don't think I could write another post that shows the spirit of this day better than this one.
Thank you, Veterans - for our freedom, security and the abillity to pursue the American Dream. Thank you just isn't enough.

My American Hero - Don't Forget Veteran's Day November 11th - Photos Attached - 11/05/08 11:08 PM
I just got back home from spending 10 days in Las Vegas with my husband Jeff and his parents. Although I am happy to be home, I will always remember one amazing moment for the rest of my life.
Just one year ago, my father-in-law Bob had brain surgery to relieve his tremors from Parkinson's Disease. The surgery was botched, and it lead to him losing his ability to walk, talk, eat and left his right arm completely paralyzed. I wrote a post about him that you can read here for more details.
Jeff and I had heard from his Mom … (7 comments)

A Vegas Sunrise from earlier this week - Photos Attached - 11/04/08 01:00 AM
I love waking up early in the desert. The air this time of year is crisp and cool, and the sunrises can be amazing. It's not very often you can catch a sunrise with so many clouds here in Las Vegas.
I'm heading home tomorrow after a week of visiting my in-laws, old friends and visiting lots of amazing places. I'm sad to leave, as I love this city so much - but I'm ready to get back home and build up a listing inventory that will be ready to pop in 2009.
These shots were taken from the front porch … (9 comments)

Valley Of Fire, Nevada - Photos Attached - 11/03/08 05:28 PM
Valley of Fire State Park is the oldest state park in Nevada. It is located roughly 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas near Overton, Nevada. The park covers around 34,000 acres.
The Valley of Fire gets it's name from the red sandstone formations that were formed from the shifting of sand dunes in the time of dinosaurs.
The Ancient Pueblo Peoples (AKA Anasazi) were farmers from the nearby Moapa Valley. They used the Valley of Fire for hunting and religious ceremonies. Rock art left behind by the prehistoric occupants can be seen throughout the park. Most of them date from 300 … (5 comments)

A few vacation pics... Robert Swetz's Group Photos Attached - 11/02/08 01:40 AM
Just a couple shots I thought I would share...
The first three are from my mother-in-law's rose garden. How she grows such beautiful flowers in the desert amazes me.

Just south of the Mandalay Bay casino is Town Square shopping center. We ate at the Yard House... and it was fabulous. It's basically an outdoor shopping mall with a town center feel to it. This is the only thing we did this trip out that was anywhere near the strip. This is the only shot that somewhat came out, … (8 comments)
