Fiddlers ReStrung benefit concert, Saline, MI - Toys For Tots - 11/30/07 11:58 PM
Boy, I would love to write a great blog tonight. Like the one I wrote last night that disappeared into thin air when I was playing with the images of turkey, chili, soup, and "abundance of bowls" that I was trying to insert into the blog. I have a lot to … (2 comments)

OK, So the real estate deal was sweet but the game outcome - not so good... - 11/25/07 02:49 AM
I blogged earlier about Ann Arbor real estate, the low, the high, and the most high. I also wished Michgan good luck in the OSU game - is it bad luck to say good luck in football, sort of like saying, "break a leg" to the theater group? Maybe it was … (4 comments)

"But We're Naked!!!" - 11/20/07 11:47 PM
Catchy title, eh? As a relative newbie, I am still perusing the groups and checking out the ones that seem interesting. Today I came across War Stories and was reminded of, you guessed it, naked sellers. I was working with a buyer on a tight budget and a short deadline. Being new … (34 comments)

Decisive buyers in Ann Arbor - what a novel idea! - 11/15/07 12:12 AM
Working in Ann Arbor as a realtor has its ups and downs these days but the highs definitely outweigh the lows. Witness today's events.
1) LOW: A "sure thing" deal fell completely apart and though I am confident the buyer will buy, it won't be this property that he loves and now it … (0 comments)

Congratulate me! I'm still a REALTOR! - 11/13/07 12:27 AM
These past few years have been trying times here in Michigan. I entered this profession just as the market was declining and worried about what I had done.Well, here I am three years later, business increasing at a slow but acceptable pace. I am a sole agent hiring my family and … (16 comments)

Anyone else witnessed their friend's real estate sheriff's sale? - 11/11/07 02:32 AM
I know these are trying times we live in but I NEVER thought I would attend a sheriff's sale to ascertain for a friend if their property really did sell to the bank that day. But I did, my first sheriff's sale ever. The husband was going to go to the … (0 comments)

Glamour photos for agents - 11/07/07 12:25 AM
I look at my photo and though I hated it when I finally settled on this shot and have come to accept it, I know I can do better. But what is the ideal? I want to look like myself. I do not want to use a photo of me from … (13 comments)

Woman seeking CESP - 11/06/07 09:00 PM
I hope that CESP doesn't stand for something I don't know about since I "invented" it for this blog. I have about 7 weeks left to do my continuing ed credits here in Michigan and I am hoping to find a course that fills the non-legal requirements of 4 credits. I would like … (2 comments)

Let's see, should I work on business or do that sinkload of dishes??? - 11/06/07 03:47 AM
I was recently critiqued for my work-from-home stance, quizzed extensively, and told to get a free cubicle in the newbie section of the company office. Well, essentially, there are so few offices available in our place that the newbie section is the only space available and I marked my territory there probably the day after … (14 comments)

My brother is driving me crazy! - 11/06/07 01:51 AM
I sure hope my brother knows nothing about active rain because I do not want to be on his bad side, but my brother IS driving me crazy! He lives in a different state and was looking for his first place. He is experienced in all levels of housing and even certified … (6 comments)

Home is where the heart is - 11/04/07 01:33 AM
What a cliche! But oh so true. As realtors, we sell buildings, people leaving, people arriving. A realtor has distance, unlike that of buyers or sellers of a property for the place they have or will call "home". We can be excited for them, we can work very hard finding them just the right place, negotiating … (4 comments)

Diplomatic staging advice - 11/04/07 01:16 AM
There are some wildly popular real estate shows on television these days featuring very outspoken realtors. I know it is TV and the sellers have subjected themselves to it, but I can't see things so happily playing out in most of the real world with those methods. How many insults can a … (4 comments)
