national marketing realtors: Where Is Debra Court In Minot ND by Bob Timm - 01/03/17 09:28 AM

There are only 3 homes located on Debra Court in NW Minot ND. The City assessor has these three homes valued from $220,000. to $259,000. These homes were built between 1974 and 1975. I found it interesting that the last time a home was sold on Debra court was in 2005. Evidently Debra Court is a great place to live and stay put!
If you would like to live on Debra Court and you have enough money to make an offer these folks can't refuse give me a call and I will write that offer for you.

national marketing realtors: Why I Was In the Office Today (January 2nd, technically a holiday) - 01/02/17 04:26 PM

Earlier today I asked the question: Why are you in the office today?
It's January 2nd, technically a holiday, banks are closed as well as government offices.. so why are you in the office?
The answer for myself is that I'm getting my books in order for tax reasons. I want to be more "on top of" my file keeping in 2017 then in previous years. File keeping has always been a chore I've passed on to my secretary and accountant. I'm thinking if I keep better tabs on where the money is going I can make my corporation run more … (17 comments)

national marketing realtors: Still Stranded, 20 Hours After The Storms End in Minot ND - 12/27/16 09:20 AM

20 hours after the end of the storm I'm still stranded at home even though we live near the heart of the City and on a fairly important street. But of course the City got right out there and cleared the entire Roosevelt Park Zoo parking lot... even though it's closed for the winter.
 
I really don't mind being stranded at home, it's like the vacation I wouldn't take for Christmas but should. I can see another game of Monopoly coming on soon.
According to one news report last night we now have over 40" of snow this year (all in about 3 … (26 comments)

national marketing realtors: Our Christmas Blizzard... It's Still Here! - 12/26/16 07:17 AM

That Blizzard they predicted... they postponed it a couple of times...
It's Here!
It didn't arrive until yesterday (Christmas) afternoon but it's here now and it's not leaving as fast as they predicted either. Here are a few shots of my son Timmothy as we and I went out to "explore" the situation.
Timmothy is standing next to and behind a drift that formed around the cars in out driveway.
I keep our snow throwers under our car port in the area usually unaffected by the weather.

national marketing realtors: Living Up North, by Bob Timm, Realtor/Broker/Owner - 12/18/16 05:14 PM

Winter or Summer it's a good idea for a home owner to walk around their property on a regular basis... even if the temperatures have been subzero. The old saying 30 below keeps the riff-raff out doesn't always hold true so it's a good idea to make sure everything is in it's place. Also a harsh winter storm can damage property just like a summer storm can. Here is my inspection of the day, our first day of above zero temps after a few subzero days.
 
I did have to do a little work on the van today to insure it will start … (16 comments)

national marketing realtors: WHO SAYS THERE ARE NO DO OVERS? Who ever it was... was Wrong! - 12/11/16 02:43 PM
Certainly not me. Let's start with THE BIG ONE. 40 years ago I got the biggest do over that anyone can get. I had lived 23 year for one purpose, to serve myself, I was my own god. 23 years ago the real God stepped in and said "Bob, you get a do over, I don't care what you have done with your past, it's forgiven, forgotten, you are now my child and the slate has been wiped clean". You could say that I get a "do over" every day, that would be 14,600 do overs BUT that would not be … (11 comments)
