I ordered some head gear from Lamood Big Hats, for my ample punkin. And the package came "Postage Due."  To the tune of $1.95, laid out at the Cary, NC, Post Office. But it came quickly.  And the goods were very good. So, I'm happy.  But out of nagging principle, I emailed the good folks at Lamoo...

A while back I wrote about how first-time buyers and others on a shoestring budget in the Raleigh Cary NC area may be in error if they concentrate their home search on foreclosures. "Foreclosures are for Rich People" I believe that thought to be timely yet, and made it the topic of my first video...

I got an email from Megan Cytron, Editor-at-Large, for Trazzler, some folks with a huge team of writers who write neat stuff about travel, food and other good things in life. Megan wanted to know about using a photo of Stephenson's Barbecue, for an article in their ongoing series, "Following the ...

I was looking at the closing attorney's Buyer Information Sheet for an upcoming real estate closing, and admiring my penmanship where I marked, "N/A" in the space allotted. The next line requests my commission amount.  That seems to be enough money to allow me to assemble and transmit the North C...

I Re-Blogged Mike Mueler's original post, "How NOT to steal pictures" the other day.  So I wanted to complete the thought with his sequel, which appropriately enough, was FEATURED and got the Star. This is NOT my content, and I suggest if you have a comment about Mike's stuff, you should go to Mi...

I wasn't too crazy about Reblogging when it was announced, but I guess I have a real thing about the concept that "If it is on the Internet, it is free." Good job, Mike Mueller! Not just the easy laugh, but emphatically spreading the word in an unforgettable way. File this under Public Service A...

Using "Find Your Home" on my site, MikeJaquish.com to search for a home in the Raleigh Cary area, just got better! Today, Hal and the guys at Goodtree & Co. took my new IDX real estate search solution, BestHomePro, "Live."  Hubba Hubba! The user interface is revolutionary among third party search...

Done Deal as soon as the President signs it within a couple of hours.   10/3/2008 And I'm not qualified to tell you what that news flash means. "Brave New World" indeed...  Waiting for the profits to roll into the Federal Coffers. If nothing else, we are detained on a detour to denouement of a de...

I have heard a lot lately about Realtors "Creating Urgency" in prospective Buyers. I don't like it.  At all. I don't like the concept, that someone should be pushed by a real estate agent to commit to being a Buyer.  Why?  So I can pocket a little more cash?  Is that being a strong fiduciary?  I ...

Having established that North Carolina Agents will need to disclose Additional Compensation, agent bonuses, and legal kickbacks and valuable awards from third parties when showing homes, I think there are several great questions for smart clients to ask.  I would ask them if I were a prospective ...
