I received an email from our church on Thursday around lunchtime, informing me that a friend of mine had died on Wednesday afternoon. My jaw dropped. What?!? He and I are about the same age! What could have happened? The email didn't give any clues. He was overweight - heart attack? … (93 comments)
I've wrestled writing this blog; it's kept me up at night for weeks. 
I really wonder if we are headed for a Recession? I heard a very interesting analogy yesterday on What is the difference between a Recession and a Depression? The analogy was this: " If your neighbor has lost their job it's a Recession but, if You loose Your job it's a … (0 comments)
Are you being deluged with dark comments about real estate, mortgage lenders, banks, a failing economy? Are you saddened to hear about all the marriages that are dying and families being ripped apart by divorce mainly due to major stress and financial disaster? Lost jobs, serious illness, a foreclosed or short-sale home, and an unstable, divided family could … (5 comments)
I am looking at my power and light bill. And my gasoline bill. And my grocery receipts, clothing receipts, and others and no longer wondering why I don't have enough cash at the end of the day for my favorite latte "treat".
I may get some interesting comments in regards to this post, but there needs to be some reasonable commentary in this sea of hysteria. Let's face the fact's everyone, the mortgage and real estate markets in certain states were simply out of control. Rampant market inflation, and very little regards to … (10 comments)
While in 2000 we by definition experienced a recession, not many people felt it. The housing boom was just beginning and many were moving up, or at least felt like it. It seemed everyone learned about it after it was long gone.
Does any one have the feeling that the folks in charge may not know what they are doing? One minute we have the Federal Reserve indicating that it is going to drop their rate to banks by 75bp and the next minute they are teaming up with European banks and lending … (2 comments)
Something that may warm your hearts this Saturday Morning....
When the dust settles and the intellectuals are called to analyze what went wrong here, only then will we have the answers to what we ponder today. Theoretically speaking, cataclysmic events systematically occur on a 500 year cycle according to some unknown researchers. Are these "soothsayers" accurate? There are some things … (0 comments)
Please wait while I set my soap box down. I am about to give my opinion on this disgusting turn of events by our government.
I post this entry after once again having a full priced offer on a short sale for one of my clients rejected. So I may be a bit perterbed.Everyday in the news we are hearing of banks and lenders having to write down 10's of billions of dollars in loan debt, of … (4 comments)
This morning I cherry picked some of the most unique and nicely priced properties to my blog.
The holidays are supposed to be a time full of joy, good cheer and hopes for a new year. Unfortunately, many people experience depression. The holiday season is full of parties and family gatherings, but for many people, it is also a time of loneliness, reflection on past "failures" and worries … (8 comments)
Have you ever seen the California cheese commercials? "Greatcheese comes from happy cows." In these commercials they arealways talking about how happy the cows are that are fromCalifornia. The cows are warm and have plush grass year round. Well, in eastern Washington this past week, a 600 lb cow allegedlyfell off … (28 comments)
we recently received an email from the local association of realtors pointing out an irresponsible, ill researched article in a local newspaper.on reading this email from the association, i realized the extent to which i, an active broker, had bought into their generalized negative hype and how it had negatively effected … (11 comments)
Yesterday I received some sad news. One of my out of town friends lost her battle with depression and took her own life. I was in shock because she was always so happy (on the outside) and loved everyone so much. She was young, about 35. I knew she was bi-polar and suffered … (2 comments)
It's that time of year again. Days are getting shorter, and there is a hint of cooler weather in the air. Most of us look forward to this as a happy season, full of cheer and love. Halloween is upon us: Thanksgiving and Christmas will follow in short order. Before we … (8 comments)
For the last several days, I've tried to write this post. I wanted it to be effective, persuasive and perfectly written. I'm still not thinking straight but I've just got to do something.
Do you think the drop in the interest rate is going to inspire any new sells or new buys? I don't think it is realistic, at least not here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I mean really... what is half a percent going to do? For the homeowners who are … (0 comments)

Where did all the money come from that fueled the sub-prime lenders? The simple answer: Wall Street. But what does that mean?Every year our money supply is greater than it was the year before. This is called inflation. Inflation is NOT an increase in price level, it is an increase in … (15 comments)
I RECENTLY STARTED TO RE-READ A GREAT BOOK. JOHN MAXWELL's insightful book, DEVELOPING THE LEADER WITHIN YOU. Did you ever read a book for a second (or third, or fourth) time and think, "How did I miss this last time?" I had one of those moments in the first chapter. INFLUENCE. Sometimes … (11 comments)
HOUSING BUBBLE VS. GREAT DEPRESSION VIDEO
The UPS Truck dropped off my gift to Mom (yes, I should have planned better so it would have arrived on time) but it took me quite a while to decide what to get her--she is very hard to buy for. I bought her a Kitchen Aid Mixer (in red, … (1 comments)
Dear A/R Members,Working out of my home office right now and I've been following the breaking news from the sports world about one of the most talented wide receivers in the NFL who attempted to commit suicide. Terrel Owens of the Dallas Cowboys tried to end his life today and it … (12 comments)
According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), depression is a serious medical illness; it’s not something that you have made up in your head. It’s more than just feeling "down in the dumps" or "blue" for a few days. It’s feeling "down" and "low" and "hopeless" for weeks at … (0 comments)
