AR-y AR-y How did your Challenge grow?



Responding to a Fellow 'Rainer who wrote to me about the 2012 Back2Basics Challenge - 
Thanks for your kind words about the work load for running the 2012 Back2Basics Challenge.  Going it "alone" was my choice as I wanted to learn how to manage all the aspects of a good Challenge.   Another goal of mine was wanting to be sure that the Challenge tasks offered actual work benefits for participants. Happy to say - I succeeded in that respect.  Many folks made comments similar to yours: "A good lesson, valuable learning, and … (16 comments)

As media planners, we recognize that the audience we're trying reach with our messages isn't standing still nor are they only limited to a single media channel. Instead, consumers shift between media channels all day long, including both traditional and … (1 comments)

atlanta homes for sale: New Home Buyer's Tip - ReKey For Safety - 01/08/12 05:31 PM
SOOOOOOOOO TRUE!! 
"... remember how many people have had access to your house keys before your Escrow closed."
Great advice posted here by Mike Martin, who has twelve years of real estate experience, works with Tri-County Residential Group in the Fontana, CA area and specializes in SHORT SALES. Mike's reminder about new keys is an essential part of counseling our Buyer Clients about a move.
When purchasing a FannieMae property, the contract includes a fee charged to the Buyer for re-keying. Obviously, FNMA, a large entity, does not want any liability due to dispersed keys.  We as agents should always remember Mike's excellent … (6 comments)

Somewhere in the recesses of my mind lie the full details of my new website. I can begin to see its form - what pages there will be for folks to read and what chances for me to continue writing.

Hurricane Irene Alters Perspective Metro Atlanta CDPE ODAT Realty Buy Lease Sell Homes in Buckhead Atlanta GA
Hurricane Irene - Certainly enough warnings ahead of time ... I grew up in New England.  Hurricanes, evacuations and house damage were facts of life from the end of August each year to the middle of September.  Now I live in Atlanta about four hours from the coast not four minutes as we were in New England.  Yet my oldest daughter and her family are in the path of the storm today in New England. I don't know if it is better to be … (1 comments)

It happens almost every day. When you work in the regional office of a major lender you hear a lot of stories. When your wife handles a large portion of the files you hear even more. I have certainly had my share of these, too, even when the buyers are instructed, warned and threatened ... it happens.
Do not quit your job. This is the event … (2 comments)
