It’s over! 2010 is just about over as is my participation in the December Challenge. I can’t say that I was terribly busy today, but yesterday was so busy that I was actually surprised by flurry of activity. Yesterday was yucky. We were supposed to close a short sale, but the buyer brought an o...

I’ve probably got about 30 minutes before my husband goes ballistic that I am connected on Christmas Day. (He went to walk the dog, so I’ll be safe for a little while.) First off, Merry Christmas everyone. Yesterday was kind of a family day because of the holiday. That being said I did respond...
