I have applied to move my license from my current broker to another broker here in town. Many factors worked into this decision and I'm sure I am making the correct choice. Also I am working on my brokers license and this change will eventually lead to me owning the agency,

Realtors and Photography - 07/25/08 01:49 PM
I've noticed from many of the Active Rain communities "About Me" biographies I've read that a lot of us are photography hobbyists or professionals. I really enjoyed seeing the photography submitted to The North Dakota State Fair when I was there on Wednesday. I am a member of the local

I'm writing this at 7 am this morning but the story really starts around 4 am. I'm not sure what woke me around 4 am but I could not help but notice that it was non-stop lightning, little or faint thunder. I layed half awake for the next hour until

Like all kids, my 6 year old and my 8 year old (especially my always inventive 8 year old daughter) come up with some unique ways to entertain themselves.

The following is an email I received from a friend. It speculates as to what will happen with Real Estate related taxes depending upon who is elected. Again I will stress that it is shear speculation.

Why Own a house when you can own HISTORY? - 07/15/08 03:08 PM
Why own a house when you can own a Historic Home. This home was built on this location 125 years ago. It is one of the oldest homes in our fair City and most certainly one of the most dreamed of homes by those who have had the pleasure to walk

Another Minot North Dakota Attraction - 07/14/08 09:03 PM
Sure, every town has a library but I would pit our small town library against any in the nation.
From the most advanced Childrens library I have ever seen to the ever expanding multi-media materials available to all, this is a GREAT library. Let me invite you to check them

Rockin The Bakken! - 07/13/08 10:03 PM
Don't you wish this was your family photo? These two old Norwegian brothers struck oil in 52 and are making more millionaires in North Dakota today then anyone would ever believe.
I decided to investigate how the biggest oil find of the century (or ever) became known as "The Bakken

For my 6 year old son and I it's kind of like the First day of summer... again.
On Memorial Day my son, Timmothy (Yes I named my son Timmothy Timm) was entertaining himself by balancing on a 3-1/2' retaining wall. Yes he lost his balance, yes he broke his arm

I Need Virtual Tour Help, PLEASE. - 07/07/08 09:33 PM
I consider myself a computer "Geek" in many areas but I readily admit I know absolutely nothing about Video Tours. I am such a neophyte that I've not even seen a video tour until about 10 minutes ago. I just assumed a video tour was one of us walking through a

Darn that mobile billboard! - 07/02/08 07:55 PM
Short post. Sometimes don't you wish your car did not have your name and number on it? Like when a car disregards a red light and turns right in front of you? I'm so glad I don't use hand gestures anymore.
Got a story YOU want to tell?
