My sellers are decent, honest people who are as represented. They are transparent and that fits my business model perfectly
NOTHING TO HIDE
Because of that, I am in full favor of disclosure and frank discussion on anything that comes up. I am more concerned about the whole deal than just getting the deal done. Consider that a Real Estate transaction lingers physically, emotionally, and mentally within the … (0 comments)

JOBS....WHERE ARE THEY....WHEN ARE THEY....HOW ARE THEY...? - 06/19/11 10:04 AM
I just finished reading an article where they report that the economy is not producing jobs in accordance with stimulus or projected job growths for this time. The word recovery is not accurate when it comes to unemployment. Unemployment is doing what Real Estate is doing in some parts of the country which is to remain unstable..
STILL LAYING OFF
In my neck of the woods (and others), they are still laying off so adding or recovering jobs doesn't make sense. Disposable income is near or non existent thanks in part to high gasoline prices that squeezed out every drop it … (3 comments)

Who hasn't received or given a HALLMARK card at some point or another. It was traditional to take a stuffed animal, some candy and perhaps flowers and attach a HALLMARK card to it.

PRICING TO SELL.... PRICING TO TELL.... OR PRICING FOR ICING...? - 06/17/11 05:26 PM
In this Real Estate cycle, pricing is the star subject in any transaction. Real Estate agents are the producers and directors of the deal to be. Short and other sales drag on because BPO's, appraisers, banks, lender, investors, sellers, and buyers all cannot agree rapidly on a fair price.
IT STARTS WITH THE LISTING AGENT
The listing agent has to back up their position with some concrete stats or comps...How will anything get up on its hind legs and walk toward escrow if it is not priced to start the procedure. Appraisers are always asking me for my contract price and … (0 comments)

HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU REALLY NEED...? GAS PRICE GREED - 06/17/11 12:52 PM
I am incensed at the way the oil companies prey on those that cannot do anything about it. To have gas prices rise during a National Emergency (what I am calling this recession) is unconscionable. To continue to raise prices defies any compassion one would have in them and to keep them high is a statement on how investors view life
CONGRATULATIONS...?
You see the oil companies are posting record profits (36 billion) dollars and have continued this return on their investment for quite some time. Meanwhile, citizens across the country are cutting back, using their cars sparingly and not living … (2 comments)

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS NECESSARY..... effective July 1st? - 06/15/11 06:25 PM

HOUSE INSPECTIONS ARE GREAT LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES....for all - 06/15/11 10:34 AM
I met up  with the buyers, the buyers agent and their inspector who took us through the whole house (my listing) similar to like being on a tour.

POWER COMES WITH RESPONSIBLITY - 06/09/11 11:19 AM
This subject is something we all know about. Until you have had your own experience though, you haven't lived the subject. You see human beings don't handle power very well. It dominates and shocks many that come into it and instead of learning about it before using it, people use it and like to learn as they go. Unfortunately, a lot of people get hurt in the process

I just finished proof reading my latest book coming out "PEARLS FOR GIRLS... DATING  WAITING  & SEX...IN SEEKING CUPID, DON'T BE STUPID" which is the subject of another post.

In part 1, I introduce how the collapse of our financial system was far from accidental and started from the top down. Where do you go to complain when the TOP is involved in something?

I am not much for politics or certain current events, but I like to keep up with what concerns me personally and professionally. That can be different things to different people.

It comes into the world not knowing too much and then starts the growth process.

KIDS SINGING SONGS...KNOWING THE WORDS IS ANOTHER MATTER...LIFE TOO - 06/01/11 04:34 PM
I saw a video the other day of little little kids singing in an auditorium. It brought back memories. Who didn't sing at school in groups when they were growing up? What I laughed about was on the parts between the chorus, the kids were mouthing the words or substituting humming or what they thought it was with noises...

REAL ESTATE OFFERS: BIRD IN THE HAND...FORGET THE OTHER TWO IN THE BUSH - 06/01/11 10:35 AM
I am careful when it comes to dialoging with my clients. What we don't realize is that what we consider to be business as usual, they end up hanging on every word. When I list a place for sale or rent, I usually get the fresh on the market response no problem. That is important period that promotes feedback about my product
