Memorial Day 2012
   This post will be short and sweet and to the point. To ALL our servicemen and servicewomen I want to personally thank you for your service to this great nation of ours. It’s people like you who have sacrificed for people like myself and others to be here in this country and to be free. Freedom is NOT free. Someone has to pay and these people have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Pleeeease Can My Buyer Move in Before Closing; Somethings Never Change - 05/20/12 03:44 PM
Never a smart thing to do. Way too much liability if you let this happen. If they need a place to stay that's why they have hotels. Time to make 1 smooth move versus 1 large headache.

Why Do Realtors Make Such High Commission? - 05/01/12 03:47 PM
A little humor mixed in with some hard truth. We(realtors) work hard for what we do and sometimes not appreciated for all our efforts. People think, at times we're overpaid but yet they wouldn't walk a day in our shoes and take the crap we take at times. This post made my afternoon.

I was interviewed yesterday for a unique investor project by Mr. Builder. We talked about the viewpoint each of us have toward the other in terms of typical Realtor or Builder behavior. It was fun … (3 comments)

Knock, Knock. Who’s There? Sellers Beware! - 05/01/12 09:15 AM
Just an FYI. A little common sense goes a LONG way here in realtor/seller safety. A short but very informative post to remind your sellers about the pitfalls of letting folks in your house unattended(AKA without a realtor of THEIR choice). Pass the word around. A very good reminder.

I received a call this evening from one of my sellers. A potential buyer had showed up at her home, rang the doorbell, and asked to see the home. While this raised red flags for … (3 comments)
