Perseverance in our businesses - 09/25/07 04:03 PM
Sometimes I find myself tuned out to all else around me and just thinking. The thought of perseverance has been on my mind lately more than anything else. I suppose this comes from seeing other agents leave this business or becoming frustrated at the situation they find themselves in. In complete

Have you ever viewed a geotechnical report? - 09/25/07 02:18 PM
In a real estate transaction, you just never know what you might need to dig up. In working with a buyer client of mine recently, we came upon an issue with the land behind the town home they were going to purchase. The home was being built on a slope and certain

Fall yard maintenance tips - 09/24/07 04:03 PM
I returned from a week long vacation yesterday and one of the first things I noticed was that there is much more red in the mountains than there was a week ago. This reminded me that it's approaching that time of year when we must get our yards ready for winter.

It's almost autumn picture taking time! - 09/15/07 12:35 PM
Yesterday I walked out of the grocery store, looked up at Mt. Olympus and was shocked to see that the leaves are already changing colors! That can only mean that fall is coming and it's time to get up to the canyons to take pictures of the beautiful scenery that they

Thanks to those who serve - 09/12/07 06:39 PM
This post really has nothing to do with real estate except for the fact that I wouldn't be able to do what I do if it weren't for people like my cousin. I know that that there are plenty of parents and siblings of soldiers out there who this hits closer

Here's the deal on the new bridge at I-215 and 4500 South - 09/12/07 02:49 PM
As I've driven to work every day for the past few weeks, I've become more aware of a huge bridge being constructed alongside I-215 and 4500 South. I wasn't sure if they were building a big elaborate overpass over the existing bridge or what. Well if anyone else out there has

Brazilian Capoeira in Utah - 09/10/07 10:25 AM
When I was about 16 I developed a fascination with a little known martial art form call Capoeira. Since then it has become much more widely known in my community but to me it still retains its charm. Although I've never taken a formal class, which I know I should, I have

CERT training courses in Utah - 09/10/07 09:39 AM
For some time now I have been hearing of CERT training courses but never really looked into what they are. I've now learned a little more about them and they seem to be a very good way to receive disaster and emergency training. CERT stand for Community Emergency Response Team. I'm

Are you looking for a really good kid friendly restaurant? - 09/06/07 02:59 PM
I have to admit that one of my favorite restaurants is also one of the most kid-friendly restaurants in town. I'm talking about Sweet Tomatoes. I absolutely LOVE the place, and so do lots of kids apparently. There's really nothing wrong with that, I'm just letting all you families know of

No, Utah prairie dogs don't really relate to real estate - 09/06/07 02:48 PM
I learned something new the other day about Utah prairie dogs. Apparently a member of my extended family has encountered issues as they've tried to secure property to build a home on in Cedar City, Utah. I don't know the full story on what happened, but I gather that the land

How do you give your listings the edge in this market? - 09/06/07 02:11 PM
I have an answer of my own for my title question, but I would also like to find out other opinions. I know that when I market a listing, I can get it out to probably 90-95% of prospective buyers. So with the same number of potential buyers seeing my listings, what

Xeriscaping in Utah - some sources - 09/05/07 03:04 PM
Yesterday morning I was mowing the lawn at a listing of mine (they're family - I'm not THAT full service), and I was thinking of how nice it would be if the yard were xeriscaped. Just as I finished, it started to rain. Then just after that, the sprinklers came on

Good quote from Emerson applied to us - 09/04/07 04:45 PM
I'm currently reading Emerson's Essays, and a few days ago I read a paragraph in there that I thought is very appropriate for real estate professionals. "And truly it demands something godlike in him who has cast off the common motives of humanity, and has ventured to trust himself for a

Oktoberfest is going on at Snowbird, Utah - 09/04/07 04:14 PM
My wife and I had a great time at Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort yesterday for Labor Day. Little did we know that Oktoberfest was also happening yesterday, so that added to the lively atmosphere of the day. I don't have any German ancestry that I know of, so Oktoberfest has
