Got just a moment because I really need to get some cat food and cat litter for my feline masters...
As I was typing that it made think that is all they do...
Eat and use the litter box...
But if you are an animal lover like me, you know they do so much more. Can you put a price on the love that our pets have for us? Or the joy and happiness they brings us?
Yesterday I woke up with the oldest cat snuggled up next to me. After 14 years she still runs to greet me at the … (5 comments)

Been busy this week and spent most of the day yesterday trying to get the yard cut. Which was a greater ordeal than normal since the riding lawnmower decided to break. Not sure what is wrong with it but it made an expensive sounding noise so I am dreading the verdict...
Anyway I was able to post another info packed article over at my website I wish you would check out. Today I wrote about bout the economy and unemployment, home prices and several sources say to buy now. But is it the right time for you to buy a home?

Rainy dreary hump day. Cooler too but we need the rain. We had a new deck installed in our back yard but it looks like we will be waiting a day or two before we get to enjoy it.
Looking forward to enjoying some cookouts and quality time with my wife on the deck just relaxing. We are going to need to buy some more outdoor furniture though. Much bigger deck than the old one!
I just posted a news article over at my website about the latest real estate news. Today I wrote about the new residential construction numbers for … (0 comments)

What an absolutely beautiful day! I have been trying to play catch up after being in Atlanta for RETSO. I learned so much useful stuff and the quality of the speakers was once again amazing. But one lesson i learned was the next time I am going to take my pillow from the house!
Now don't get me wrong, the hotel we stayed at was really nice. Clean room and super friendly staff. Plus we could walk to the event and the local restaurants. But they had these pillows that for the life of me I could not get comfortable with.

Got just a minute before hitting the road to do some last minute stuff before heading to Atlanta for RETSO. I was able to post 2 articles over on my website that I hope will interest you.
First I wrote about the latest report from LPS about US home prices and compared it to the prices in Upstate South Carolina. I also talk about the IMF weighing in on what they think the US government should be doing to heal housing, FHFA's DeMarco talking about principal reductions and much much more.

real estate: Information or Knowledge - 04/10/12 08:03 AM
Good morning! Really getting excited about going to RETSO and learning new ways to use technology to help sell real estate and get more traffic to my website. And to get more people to click...
I just hope I can learn how to get serious people to click. It seems I get way too many fruitloops and unrealistic people to click. Often I wonder if it is just me or are that many delusional people in the world?
It appears that some people have unrealistic expectations or are woefully unprepared or misinformed about real estate. And when you try to share … (2 comments)

Good morning! I am sure there are some that are not happy to see yet another Monday arrive but I am pretty excited. Well not excited about it being Monday but excited about going to RETSO later this week. What is RETSO?
Well I talked a little bit about it in this week's Monday Morning Cup of Coffee. If you are a real estate professional, whether an agent or a mortgage lender, investor or whatever, it might be in your best interest to find out about RETSO.
I also posted the latest real estate market information for Upstate South Carolina yesterday … (3 comments)

Hippity hoppity Easter is on the way! The picture above is a Peep that I have been using as my avatar on Twitter for the past week or so. Got plenty of comments about it. I like Peeps but that is not my favorite Easter candy. I like the old fashioned orange slices.
I wish I had a copy of the picture of me as a very young child in my Easter outfit that my Mom thought was adorable. Green plaid jacket and green bow tie. I am sure Orville Reddenbacher would have approved but it was hideous. I was … (0 comments)

Busy day today! Got one offer submitted and waiting to hear back. It was one of those dreaded highest and best situations but we knew it would be. But if you are not making offers, then you will never buy real estate...
Would Have, Could Have, Should Have
If you have read this or any of my many other blogs then you know I preach to talk to a lender, tax person and your financial adviser as your first step in the home buying process. But once you determine your budget and IF buying a home makes sense for you....

It is never a good thing when your wife asks if you have a Sawzall...
Especially when you are talking about the same woman you caught using one of your good claw hammers to "dig" a hole...
It is only Tuesday and it is going to be a very very long Spring Break (my wife works at one of the local high schools).
Not sure what awaits me when I get home this evening but it surely is NOT going to be good. Anyway, just posted another information packed article over on my website that I hope you will check out. … (0 comments)

Good Monday afternoon! It is Spring Break for many schools around here, including the one my wife works at. It gets dangerous when she is off work because she starts getting bored and then she starts a home improvement project. Which means I get recruited soon after...
I have got plenty of stuff to do but if it makes her happy, well then I will have to put some stuff off for a few days. I think she is wanting to move some trees. Not full grown trees but still not exactly an easy project.
I did manage to post another … (0 comments)

Happy April Fools! I hope you have not fallen for any cheesy pranks so far today. Some of the crazy stuff I have seen in my Twitter stream really makes me wonder how many gullible people there are in the world...
But you can rest assured that the latest real estate market information I just posted is NOT a joke or a prank. I might have a sick or twisted sense of humor at times and I will admit to being snarky or sarcastic. But these are the facts about what happened last week in Upstate South Carolina:

Ahhhh.... Saturday! Little bit rainy this morning but we really need the rain. Been a busy week and somehow I missed sharing the link to yesterday's blog post like I normally do.
Yesterday I wrote about the ULI report predicting improvements for real estate through 2014, Freddie Mac's Economic and Housing Outlook for March plus some information from the Fed about business activity in South Carolina. I hope you will read Real Estate News You Can Use 3-30-12
And early this morning (early bird gets the worm) I posted 2 more articles:

Getting closer to the weekend and it sure is a beautiful day today in Upstate South Carolina. Been really busy doing some fine tuning on the new website. Still not happy with everything but honestly, can you ever allow yourself to become complacent when it comes to improving your business?
It might sound strange to some that I consider tweaking my website to be part of improving my business. Considering how much of my business comes from the internet, it just makes sense to look at doing everything I can to get more buyers to contact me or to show up … (0 comments)
