I am excited it is almost the 4th of July. Believe it or not that is one of my most favorite holidays. The history of July 4th is why I get excited. Over 231 years ago, our forefathers pledged their Lives, Fortunes,and their Sacred Honor so that we would be FREE. (Interesting … (22 comments)

Recollections of the Meaning of Memorial Day from Flagstaff AZWhen I was young, Memorial Day was quite different. This was after the days when everyone walked 10 miles to school no matter what the weather, but we were still in the era of black and white TV where the test pattern … (1 comments)

I was just thinking how glad I was that summer was coming. Last summer I did not enjoy it, as summer. I was too busy planning my oldest daughter's wedding last July. This year I intend to savor every moment. 
One of the benefits of living close to the major northeast cities again is that I can drive on my schedule, see what I want to see and do what I want to do on my own schedule. I'm no longer bound by Delta or US Air schedules and fare rules.Since I … (1 comments)
With the holidays just around the corner many agents are now taking a look at the results of 2006. Many agents will be celebrating reaching their goals and many will be scrambling to close a few more transactions before the end of the year. If you feel that you are in … (0 comments)
Enjoying a Happy Mother's Day and Fishing Opener would be a conflict in most states but not in Minnesota. In the Land of 10,000 Lakes, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) doesn't want mom's to feel neglected as families head out to fish for walleye and northern pike in the … (4 comments)
From today begins the chaos of Golden Week. In Japan everyone, I mean, EVERYONE gets the week off. So basically prices double, roads are packed and line ups are huge. In fact on t.v they have reports on how many hours it takes to leave Tokyo city by any means of … (0 comments)

Most cities and counties in California experienced a drop in median home prices in December compared to the same month in 2005, according to data on new and existing condo and single-family home sales.Existing single-family home sales in the state fell 15.3 percent in … (4 comments)

The New Year has always been special to me for so many different reasons; I love what it symbolizes and love the energy of the people around me. Rick and I always spend the New Year with our kids, family and friends and we always have a blast.I have been asking … (26 comments)
Hi Everyone!
Life is about family, and I'd never begrudge anyone time off on Christmas, or even Christmas Eve - but today's only the 22nd. We're still writing offers and showing property - and having problems because many agents with homes "shown by appointment with agent only" and "agent must accompany" are nowhere … (2 comments)
'Twas an hour before closing and the agents were tense, to close Christmas Eve just didn't make sense.But the seller was booked on the 6 o'clock flight and had warned "THERE WILL BE A CLOSING TONIGHT!"The agents agreed because business was dead, and visions of commission checks danced in their heads.The … (0 comments)

Arlington at Christmas I had no idea this was done. I thought you might want to see it. Thought this blog a good way to show others who may not have seen it. No matter what our beliefs are we can all take as moment to remember those who help our "Freedom … (7 comments)
I moved to Miami 11 years ago and probably since I live here I have been in the airport more than 100 times between traveling and picking up friends, family and customers. What I hate the most is driving to the Miami airport in rush hour with all the traffic to pick … (0 comments)
Checking for a pulse. For months we have been blogging, and here in Florida checking the housing market for a pulse. Under 200K the beat was OK...Over 250K the beat was less regular. With the holidays fast approaching, the health of our economy certainly impacts our abilities collectively to provide the kids, … (4 comments)

This December, take an evening drive down Shoal Line Blvd and see the new holiday decorations! It was a true community effort spearheaded by the Hernando Beach Property Owner's Association with participation of the business community that made these new decorations possible. Happy Holidays!
As we head full tilt into the Holiday Season many of us see this as a time to "slow down", spend time with friends and family, and recharge our batteries to get ready for 2007. However, there are still many Buyers out there who still need to find their "Home for … (0 comments)

Every family has their own Thanksgiving traditions, grown carefully,bit by bit, over time, a combination of a blending of traditions that people bring from their families of origin and those that they develop themselves. I find these interesting. For example: we have a "traditional" Thanksgiving dinner, that includes turkey, smoked or … (1 comments)

An article in today’s Toronto Star has a small article about putting your “life list” down on paper so that you commit to fulfilling your dreams.Now, lists featuring your goals are nothing new. Life lists are just today’s jargon for goal setting. Years ago Oprah used this concept to create her … (3 comments)

This is the best time of the year for me. A lot of my competitors assume that since it is the holiday season that nobody is going to buy or sell a house and need a mortgage. When I look back at my statistics for all of my years in the business, I … (4 comments)
