First of all I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. I pray that you all have a wonderful and safe holiday and prosperous year.

My wife is a photographer, you can check her out at www.imagecreationsphotography.com. She has been using iContact email marketing for awhile now and I am very impressed with her results. I have just started using it for my real estate business. I love the fact that I can use her account so we don't have to have two seperate bills and it is only $10 a month for 500 contacts and $15 a month for 1000. I have posted a link below for a 15 day free trial. I also compared some of the other Email Marketing companies out there and in my opinion for the money this is the best. Give it a try and let me know what you think. As always God Bless.

     Wow!!! This 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, cedar siding, home has an aboslutely gorgeous view of Harbor Village Lake.  The owner's have paid extreme attention to detail in this home.  From the cast iron stair rails, to the heated ceramic tile flooring in the bathroom, to the glass slats on the deck for an unobstructed view of the lake.  Their are many other awesome features in this home, two woodburning fireplaces, hardwood and ceramic tile throughout, walnut cabinetry in the kitchen and granite countertops. 

      Now lets talk price.  The owners are asking only $199,500 for this awesome home.  Other than two bank owned properties this is over 15,000 less than any other home in Harbor Village and the only home on the MLS that is on the lake.  When you are ready to go look give Steve a call 859-312-3550 just don't wait to long.

      Wow!  I have been a member of Active Rain for a couple of years (I know my points don't show it) now and can't believe how much is has progressed.  I give a lot of credit to the founders and designers that help keep the Rain coming down.  I think there were less than 2000 members when I started and now over 117,000.  That is crazy.  I remember when AR had a contest to guess what day the 10,000th member would register.  I wish I was more active as a blogger and after getting the email yesterday telling about the listing router I am going to try and do the right thing.  

      I am a worship leader in Central Kentucky and we have accountability partners that keep us straight per say.  I need an accountability partner on AR to keep me blogging and active.  Any takers?  Anyway if you have read this far I am sure you are wondering what my title means  Active Rain. Slogger!!!.  Well a slogger is a word I made up that is a mixture of slacker and blogger (which I am).  I am in rehab right now and appreciate any prayers, ha.  Maybe I will contact Merriam-Websters and see about getting a new word put in.  

Thank you for joing me in my Thoughts from Kentucky.       www.stevecampbellproperties.com

Hey guys I am only a couple minutes away from helping a couple of my clients write an offer.  I do however have a problem.  They are making an offer on bank owned property and want to write in a contingency upon their home selling.  I have talked with the bank and believe it or not they said they would entertain and possibly accept as long as there is a 48 hour kickout clause attached.  Wow I thought that was awesome.

I talked to the buyers earier and I was excited,  only for them to tell me they did not want to give the bank a kickout.  I told them the bank would not accept the offer without this and they said they were looking out for themselves.  What do you think I should do?

I have had several people lately want to make offers and most of them with contingencies.  They don't want to list their home until they have found one to buy, this makes it really hard on us REALTORS®.  It is hard enough to get a home 'sold' right now much less having to sell one in a week or two so another contract will go through.

Well I have to go.  I will let you know how it goes.

Central Kentucky's weather is a little odd to say the least.  It is usually in the mid 20's one day then maybe 60 or 70 the next.  You think I am kidding ask some of the people from Central Kentucky that currently use Active Rain.  The last big snow we had was in February of 1998, my son was 1.5 years old.  Since then we have had two daughters and they are now 7 and 4.  Neither of our daughters have seen enough snow to actually be able to play in, until last night.  We woke up this morning and had about 8-9 inches of snow.  My kids looked outside and were amazed.  So we threw every piece of clothing we could find on them and let them go out. 

      We went out with them for awhile but they definitely outlasted us.  They are now working on a snowman after an hour or more of sledding.  While playing, a firetruck came down our street and got stuck, then in the process of trying get back up the street slid off the street into the neighbors yard.   

I would like to thank all of you who went a checked out my wifes website.  But their are still a lot of you that didn't, we still need about 70,000 members to go see it, lol. www.imagecreationsphotography.com

   I happen to be one of the lucky people that not only have a real estate business but my wife and I also have a photography business.  I try to promote Image Creations as much as possible with my real estate business, it also comes in very handy when I need photos taken of my listings or for business cards..

   I haven't ever mentioned it here on Active Rain so I thought I would throw a shout out.  We just got our website and blog online and I would love for all of our 74,991 members to go check it out.  When you get a chance visit our site and blog and please comment.  My wife runs that blog and she is concerned that she won't get many comments.  Thank You.

I have noticed a couple of Realtors in my area are sending feedback through email after you show their properties.  I really like it and think it is a great way to give and receive feedback.   So many agents here show your homes and you never hear from them again even after they said they would call back and give feedback.

I was just curious if anyone has any good suggestions on a feedback program, the ones I have looked at are around $20 a month and to me that is kind of expensive especially when you factor in all the other $$$ a month we spend.  Let me know if any of you are using any of these programs and what you think.  Thanks.   SC
