Sunday, April 20th, around 4:30 AM I was awakened by what I thought was the sound of my son gagging. He had been ill a couple of days before, so I got up to check on him. I also thought I smelled burnt popcorn. I remember wondering why my daughter was … (17 comments)

blog: Harrison County, MS * MLS Update - 03/31/08 12:18 AM
Good news! The market is not stagnant. Weird maybe, but not stagnant. Please keep in mind that the figures below do not include: Condos, shouldn't include mobile homes, and should include the criteria listed below. Remember too, that only takes a couple of MLS listings with data incorrectly listed for the figures to … (0 comments)

Here's the Assignment: The assignment is open to the public at large as well as to Active Rain members. Please find a positive way to interpret any of the data, no sarcasm, and no backwards negativism disguised as positivism (I.e., Its a good thing you don't have a 3000-5000 sf home in … (0 comments)

blog: Positive REality Defined - 03/16/08 03:56 PM
 
       
(This is a Public Post to Real Estate Professionals)
At this point I have read so many self help, success oriented and positive thinking authors that I have more questions than answers. Being positive is a preferable state of being, until--values collide.

*Note: This is an Active Rain Public Posting
I believe Vendor advertising at Active Rain is a good idea. I hope that it will help defray the numerous disrupting B2B telemarketing calls I receive. My highest recommendation for any service you may provide a REALTOR, is to advertise it here, then leave … (1 comments)

blog: I was Going to be Sugar and Spice, However|MLS Again... - 02/11/08 05:06 PM
     It shouldn't make a big deal that a property listed as 39000 sq feet is 3900 square feet. Most of us would figure that's the case.
     So Sister Suzi (some of you know me by that for a reason:-) gives the broker a call. Yep, its 3900 sq feet. He … (45 comments)

REALTORS--Do you ever write a blog and wish beyond anything that this one would be Featured? That this is actually a Life and Death situation and that the more people who know about it the greater chance of a difference, an impact being made? This is one of those times that … (65 comments)

Absolute accuracy cannot be validated. Figures used are extracted from a variety of reports run through MLS Agent access.

While researching my last  I was overcome with desire to see what trend … (1 comments)
