Absolute accuracy cannot be validated. Figures used are extracted from a variety of reports run through MLS Agent access. List to Close ratios are not disclosed as price reductions are not consistently included in the list to  close ratios.

long beach: Insight From My Morning Beach Walk **Photos** - 09/04/07 12:08 PM
These photos were from a few days back. My camera is off for repair, I admit I feel lost without it. Sometimes the insight I gain from my morning walks only REmotely RElate to REal Estate.
In general, people just seem happy and content at the harbor, fishing. Even the Harbor employees … (9 comments)

long beach: My Favorite MLS Features - 09/01/07 11:49 PM
I love the GEOJET Feature. Geojet makes it possible to email and/or print a property info bundle including:
These features makes it easy to confirm lot measurements without going directly to county records, and get an idea of terrain without using a different resource. Of course the flood zone map is valuable, although I … (4 comments)

long beach: Another REal Lesson Learned - 08/25/07 11:57 AM
One morning this week I was really frustrated with myself. I didn't seem to be accomplishing anything. So, I decided to heck with it. I packed up and set up to get out and about. But before I left for my "break" I remembered that a certain gentleman who worked at … (3 comments)

I am smiling as I realize how bountifully blessed that I am. Current and past clients seem to have a knack of sending me the right note at the right time. The following brightened my morning:

long beach: "...Is Anything Moving? Or, Should We Ask, Is AnyONE Moving?" - 08/17/07 12:05 AM
This is the most FAQ from folks I encounter. Tough question. Its RElative. Earlier today I was working on a 2 week REport from Gulf Coast MLS stats just to help give folks a REAListic picture of what is going on in Harrison County. Of course, you have to keep in … (0 comments)

long beach: *Photos* Flounder Was the Catch of the Morning. - 07/19/07 11:35 PM
My early morning community photos are almost always at Long Beach Harbor. Its .6 miles from my home and I am hooked on the walk.  The reason I share these photos on Localism is because life is so much more than a house. Its what you see and experience on a daily basis.

I am off to the Energy Club in Long Beach for a work out, then a soothing hot tub, steam room, sauna treat afterwards. I am thinking of joining. Let's see, is there a legitamite way to think of club membership as a business expense? Even if not, I am beginning … (6 comments)

long beach: Morning Chat from the MGC + Photos - 07/09/07 07:52 AM
Good Morning. A morning walk is a privilege and a discipline. Sometimes I am inclined to dive into my life's work. But, my day is much more productive if I put my morning walk ahead of everything. It works best if I don't shower, don't put on makeup, just GO, just DO it. … (5 comments)

long beach: *Photos* Slice of Life from the MGC - 04/08/07 11:31 PM
There is more to the Mississippi Gulf Coast than Highway 90/Beach Boulevard. Personally, I am drawn to the Highway 90 strip of beaches. I love walking the marinas and piers and chatting with folks I encounter on my walks.  The "nod of the head", slight wave, quick greetings, make my day. … (0 comments)

Part 1 ended with "Why would someone turn in a bogus request for a CMA giving a mortgage lenders' email address and phone #"?
Not finding peace in the situation, I decided to see if I could contact the real property owner. That was easy enough, I cross referenced the tax record … (14 comments)

long beach: The Answer is NO. A thank you to Active Rain Member, Ed Rybczynski - 01/18/07 08:00 PM
Sometimes its the seemingly unimportant experiences that can have the most impact on our lives. Like, tossing a pebble in the water and watching the ripple action. 
One day I had a little extra time that I chose to use browsing Active Rain. I don't know how or why I discovered Ed … (8 comments)

long beach: Your Style and Kudos - 12/19/06 01:22 AM
Do you work mainly from an official brick and mortar office, or, do you work mainly from an equipped home office? I believe in a recent Active Rain search I found a broker here that operates as a Virtual Broker. The reason I ask is that first of all I find … (4 comments)

long beach: Big Family; Small World - 11/29/06 10:53 PM
           I took a listing with "issues" towards the end of January.  The home was moderate, cute and almost new in a subdivision of older homes.  The home could have probably brought $10K to $12K more if it were in the newer subdivision a field and a creek away. Fortunately, the … (3 comments)

From time to time you will hear from me about Post Katrina experiences. I will try to give a pre-warning in the title or introduction in case you are one of the people that may be tired of hearing Post Katrina stories.
