MY BUYERS JUST CLOSED ON THEIR NEW HOME IN THE CAPE CORAL FL YACHT CLUB AREA - THE HISTORY OF THE HOME WAS A BONUS - A few months ago buyers contacted me wanting to puchase a home in THE CAPE CORAL FL YACHT CLUB AREA.  They finally found a home they knew would be perfect for them - it was built back in the 1968 by Michigan Homes and armed with knowledge of the history of the builder they felt like this was the home they had been searching for.
 

The home was a short sale but fortunately … (1 comments)

I FINALLY GOT MY FIRST FEATURED POST! - 08/27/10 01:36 PM
I FINALLY GOT MY FIRST FEATURED POST! I guess I really sparked a conversation yesterday about Facebook and boy am I glad I did.  Not only did I learn a great deal from the comments that were posted, I also had the good fortune of getting my VERY FIRST FEATURED POST!
When my husband came home he couldn't figure out what I was so excited about so I explained ActiveRain to him in more detail and then we went out and had a nice dinner to celebrate my good fortune.  This may not mean much to some people but for me it … (6 comments)

STOP PROMOTING YOURSELF ON MY FACEBOOK WALL! - 08/26/10 12:25 PM
STOP PROMOTING YOURSELF ON MY FACEBOOK WALL!  Come on people (those of you that are guilty of what I am posting will recognize yourself) let's be professionals and treat others as we want to be treated.
I have mainly used Facebook as a way to stay in touch with family and friends but have been getting more interested in trying to use it as a way to build business as well.  I attended RainCamp in Orlando this week and learned a great deal about this topic as well as things to look for.
After leaving RainCamp I decided to really look … (74 comments)

DO YOU SUFFER FROM PARASKEVIDEKATRIAPHOBIA? HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS? - 08/13/10 11:12 AM
DO YOU SUFFER FROM PARASKEVIDEKATRIAPHOBIA?  I found an article today and found it very interesting - it states that if you suffer from PARASKEVIDEKATRIAPHOBIA, today - Friday the 13th - is the worst day of your life each time it rolls around! 
What does it mean?  It means you are afflicted with a morbid, irrational fear of Friday the 13th -  based on the Greek words paraskevi (Friday) and dekatria (13) with phobia as a suffix to indicate fear.
If you have this condition, you are among the people - 1 in 15 do - who want to stay in bed or sit … (4 comments)

MY BUYER (EX-BUYER) IS FURIOUS AT ME - DID I TOTALLY SCREW UP OR DID HE? - 08/11/10 03:17 PM
MY BUYER (EX-BUYER) IS FURIOUS AT ME - DID I TOTALLY SCREW UP OR DID HE?  I received an email the other night from a "buyer" I worked with a couple of years ago.  When I previously worked with him, I had him pre-qualified with letter in hand and viewed numerous homes until he found the one he wanted.  It was a short sale but he was willing to wait so we submitted our offer and started the waiting game.  While we were waiting he had me meet him numerous times at his "dream" home - I met him to show his … (8 comments)
