How many times in our life do we really find out what it is to give something away without expecting something in return? So many times we attach strings to the things we say or do. With these strings, we think, maybe, we will be recognized, acknowledged, pointed out, etc. when … (3 comments)
The number one thing that will drive me to succeed is to tell me that I can't do something! I remember, 20 years ago...I was 31 years old teetering on the brink of a disintegrating marriage with two toddlers, 14 month and 3 years old. I was in the midst of … (10 comments)
That's it...that's the bottom line....what do you do. You've worked hard for months with a certain buyer and they decide not to buy in your area and they dump you for a realtor 5 towns over. Or your loan was to close next week. You've spent 45 days getting this deal … (10 comments)

For those of you looking for a fun and easy read, I just finished the book by Seth Godin called "The Dip". It was recommended to me by another agent who is going through a tough time in the real estate market. It is a quick read about knowing when to … (4 comments)
Something significant happens and you don't know what to do. How many times has this happened in our lives and we were caught off guard? Would a legal matter become a humongous concern for you? Where would you get the money? Would you have to refinance? Would you have to borrow from savings, friends, relatives or all … (2 comments)
The first step toward leaving credit challenges behind is understanding where you are right now. Because your credit report is used by lenders to assess your finances, it's a good idea to review it yourself before hand. This gives you the chance to correct any errors and identify any continuing problems.

Growing up in the shadow of the 'Bay of Pigs' and the Cuban Missile crisis, I remember that there was a somewhat short-lived spurt in the sale of bomb shelters. We lived in Livermore, California, a quickly growing suburb just west of the San Francisco Bay Area, and home to Lawrence … (17 comments)
We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy … (3 comments)
I prefer to present my offers in person to the listing agent and the homeowner. There's one offer that stands out as most unusual in my mind.The appointment had been scheduled 24 hours before I was to present the offer. The homeowner would be there, as well as the listiing agent. … (7 comments)

Call me crazy, but I am currently happily involved in a transaction involving the purchase of over 100 acres of land. This transaction has been a minefield of challenges and concerns, yet I enjoy it. I enjoy challenge. This is the fourth in a series chronicling those challenges and concerns.

Struggle begins! As a rookie agent in Northern VA I find the real estate market very challenging. With so much inventory in the market, and too little buyer shopping around, everyone is in survival mode, including myself. Thus, I finally started working with Renters. My broker started forwarding me renter leads. Then suddenly, it felt really good finally be out there. I never … (0 comments)

I'm curious...I am sure that in your business, like mine, the changes in the mortgage industry create a variety of different hurdles to overcome. I have heard comments ranging from the guideline changes to the actual mortgage lenders and brokers dealing with customers. I have a lot to say and would … (0 comments)
As buyers look for the ‘best bargain' in a home, most are curious about three types of bargain-basement properties: the Short Sale, the Bank-Owned, and the HUD Sale. The Short Sale home is basically a pre-foreclosure sale. The owners have financial issues, have missed or been late on mortgage payments, and … (0 comments)
Last week I was feeling dissed by the Realtor--what a difference a week makes. As usual, I learned more about myself, and this business of home staging being a team effort ,than I did about anything else. Mainly, I learned not to be a hothead who is overly protective of my … (1 comments)
Have you ever noticed how often people move away from one place, to another place entirely different from the place they moved from, and then proceed to try to make the new place over into an exact replica of the place they moved from? I'm not talking about relocations for jobs, … (2 comments)
