humor: Stuff I Don't Mind Paying More For... - 01/06/08 10:46 PM
I'm fed up with substandard consumer products!
This is just a fun blog, so if you're looking for a serious debate, you'll have to move along. I was just thinking about stuff that I don't mind buying generic and stuff that I need my name brand of and I was also … (5 comments)

humor: New Way To Get Houses Sold! GHETTO FABULOUS! - 01/03/08 04:03 PM
They've all done it! Ralph Lauren, Martha Stewart, Laura Ashley...and now, LANIA DEMERS presents:
The Ghetto Fabulous Line, (exclusively available through my Colorado Springs Office)! That's right, the old Aspen White and Lyndhurst Castle classic colors aren't selling homes like they used to, so I've come up with this new strategy...
I'm developing … (7 comments)

humor: If We Could Just Get Someone To LOOK At These Listings!!! - 12/10/07 01:26 PM
Even in a tough market, the cream of the crop listings should sell if they are priced right, correct? Not so! I am proud to say that some of my listings are the sharpest of the sharp, located in the most sought after neighborhoods and priced FAR below the not even … (4 comments)

humor: Ah, But One Day The Tables Will Turn! - 12/04/07 02:44 PM
We love the buyer's market for our buyers, right? But there is, as with everything, and ugly side to our well advertised and media-ized market. By now, most of us seasoned Brokers and Agents know that you never let em' smell blood, right? Poker face...play it straight, we all know its … (1 comments)

humor: Go With Your Gut! - 11/27/07 04:27 PM
Let's face it...all listings are not good listings and all buyers are not good buyers. I think many people get side tracked into forgetting that our Listing Agreements and Buyer Agencies are two sided contracts between us and a Buyer or Seller.
Never work with someone that makes you make this face!!!
Sometimes … (0 comments)

humor: You'd THINK People Would Answer Offers Promptly In This Market!!! - 11/27/07 12:47 PM
Ok...Rant, Rant, Rant...THREE of my agents and MYSELF have offers out there. Four of us! We EACH have at least one offer out there. Dianne actually has about three. We deal with a lot of bank repos here in the Colorado Springs market, so we are having to deal with lots … (5 comments)

humor: Make A Copy Of The MLS Part Of The Contract! - 11/26/07 03:43 PM
Recently, I had an ugly scenario happen with one of my junior agents. She was dealing with an unscrupulous Broker who decided to change compensation offered to the Selling Broker AFTER the parties had negotiated back and forth and reached a verbal agreement.
That other agent has egg on her face, now!
My … (9 comments)

humor: Don't Forget To Call On Sparky... - 11/26/07 03:36 PM
This post was inspired by another one that I just answered. I was just thinking about how funny it is when you call another office for showing instructions and they say things like. "Knock, wipe your feet, leave a card and don't forget to call on Sparky the Dog as you … (0 comments)

humor: Busy Is Not Necessarily Productive...But It Will Be! - 11/26/07 03:23 PM
I have been hearing quite a bit from colleagues lately that they are "really busy" and so am I. However, I'd be lying if I didn't say that the busy-ness is not necessarily my normal quota of productivity. I find that I am writing more offers and getting less contracts. That … (1 comments)

humor: NEW REALITY T.V. SHOW..."LOW BALLER!" - 11/23/07 03:07 PM
Haven't Seen This Lady At Any Open Houses Lately!!!
They call it "reality tv" when you see these big investors going around and buying property at 50% and selling it at the open house, for full price or more, just a few short weeks after purchase. That's NOT reality. But this is...
I … (12 comments)

humor: The "Back Charge" Philosophy - 11/14/07 04:22 PM
I guess this is my day to vent. Except for one, most of my posts today seem to be about annoying things, so while I'm on the subject, I figured I'd throw this one in for free!
Time to pay the Dr.!!!
We all know that if we miss our doctor … (9 comments)

humor: Staging on a Budget...It CAN be done! - 09/13/07 05:47 PM
It's usually best to set a chair in an otherwise awkwardly blank section by a window to create additional seating and a feeling of relaxation...
And nothing says "take a load off" more than an inviting sofa in an otherwise stark entry...
Who says you have to be a millionaire to have your … (9 comments)

humor: The Man Rules...At Last A Guy Has Taken The Time To Write This Down! - 07/14/07 11:34 PM
Hi Guys! I got this as a forward from one of my agents. I think it's probably the most accurate representation I've seen and it sure explains a lot of my husband's behavior to me! To think, we've been married almost 17 years and some of these things have eluded me … (5 comments)

humor: The Mother of ALL Home Inspections!!! - 06/12/07 10:29 PM
All right. Buckle your seat belts! With the arguably litigious society in which we live, I'm sure this will be a post for you to keep and perhaps share with your fellow professionals. I, for one, will never forget the lesson I learned today. Today's home inspection will forever change the way … (13 comments)
