Should I Stay For Showings at my McKinney TX Home For Sale? - 05/12/11 03:23 PM
Should I Stay For Showings at my McKinney TX Home For Sale?
Here in McKinney, we're a friendly bunch -- helpful, too. Often my real estate clients are especially nice, so, when it comes to showing their home for sale, I recommend that the best way to be the most helpful during a showing appointment is to have a sparkling clean home, turn the lights on, and leave the house during the showing time!
That's no problem for most Sellers -- they understand that's what Buyers prefer. But on a rare occasion, a Seller will ask about staying during a showing.

ActiveRain Photobloger Contest . . . Some things are just funny to me. - 05/10/11 11:14 PM
Some things are just funny to me. Sometimes, things I think are funny are also funny to other people. Sometimes . . . not so much.
For example, on my wedding day, when I was standing at the alter next to my husband-to-be, our backs to the crowded church, I noticed my maid of honor -- my sister -- standing to my left looking very proper. My mind wandered from the solemn words the minister was saying, back to the times I spent next to my sister with our heads bowed at the dinner table -- each of us trying not to let the giggles … (26 comments)

The Skittles Car in McKinney, TX - 05/07/11 12:18 AM
The Skittles Car in McKinney, TX
This car has fascinated me over the years. I see it parked around town, but have never had the opportunity to meet its owner. The other day while at a traffic light I caught a glimpse of it and was able to snap a pic before the light changed.
Why does this car have Skittles on it?
How did this man come to own this car?
These are questions I just want to learn the answers to!
I have a "Funny Things I've Seen Around Town" page on my website and have been wanting to add … (7 comments)

Do I need to update my house to sell it? - 05/06/11 11:00 PM
Often times people ask me, "Do I need to update my house to sell it?"
It's a good question to ask. You want to sell your home -- and you don't want to spend a lot of time with your house on the market. Updating your house will make your home more desirable. It will motivate buyers to move from the shopping stage into the action of making an offer. Homes that are updated and in pristine condition generate excitement from buyers. There is a feeling of urgency to act quickly before anyone else finds this great home. Additionally, it's no surprise that homes that are updated and move-in … (6 comments)

Three Cups of Tea . . . one man's mission to promote peace one school at a time. - 05/05/11 11:57 PM
Last week I finished reading a book suggested to me by my mother-in-law, Three Cups of Tea. It is the account of American Greg Mortenson's struggle to build schools for children in Afghanistan starting a few years before the 9/11 attacks. This probably would not have been a book I would have pursued if it were not for the recommendation of someone I admire and respect (I'm more of a Jane Austen kind of girl) and the story did not disappoint.
Mortenson is a 20-something nurse working the night shift in a California hospital who's real passion is mountain climbing. As the story goes, during a failed … (6 comments)

Be positive for the sake of your health and wallet! - 05/02/11 11:36 PM
According to several sources passed on to me by a perpetually peppy friend of mine, being a positive person improves your health and wealth! Here's a summary of facts compiled by Jon Gordon from numerous sources:
1. Positive People Live Longer! According to The Nun Study, nuns who regularly (you might even say "religiously") expressed positive emotions, lived an average of 10 years longer.
2. Working in a positive work environment generates more productivity than working in negative environments, duh. (Daniel Goleman)
3. Positive sales people sell more than cranky sales people. Who knew! (Martin Seligman)
4. Marriages are much more likely to succeed when the … (6 comments)
