I am sure that these quotes will spark a conversation today. With that said, I was prepared to write this in a different way and decided not to. I will simply state this: marriage is a bond between two people that love and care about one another. It does not take … (14 comments)
This is not about "Gay Marriage" trigger by it, but about Marriage, Real Estate, and Money. Regardless of how we feel about marriage, in any marriage there are some simple credit and real estate matters that everyone considering marriage should think about.
Today I received a response from VA on the final prior to docs condition for my eligible veteran. The plans were to close this Friday and the response has been anticipated as positve since June 6th.

My mom is visiting and our family was invited to a friend's graduation party. Getting out of the house with my mother, my husband and two sons was like attempting to put a skittish 25 pound cat in a gerbil carrier. My husband is always first out the door... of course … (17 comments)
My wife and I celebrated fifteen happy years of marriage in early January. We started dating when I was 20 years old back in 1991. Starting as a teenager, though, I never really dated a girl for very long if I knew that I couldn't or wouldn't marry her. This may … (28 comments)

Congratulations! You're getting married. From the day you popped the big question and changed your status from boyfriend to fiancé, you've no doubt been receiving lots of unsolicited advice from friends, family, and strangers about planning the wedding and about marriage.
I don't know about you but I see this realtionship as a marriage. There are great times such as payday, smooth transactions, cooperative sales, open house hang outs, and trips put on by title companies(where have these gone). There are bad times such as house does not pass inspection for FHA … (5 comments)
Has anyone ever said one of these or thought one of these while working with a client?
Nothing makes me feel better than when a client gives me a gift. It tells me I'm doing something right, but the gift that I was given last night CHANGED MY LIFE! You see my client gave me tickets to the longest running one man show on Broadway, "Defending the Caveman", … (10 comments)
I have been negotiating a lot of short sales lately. There are many unpreventable problems that lead to short sales. I can't keep you healthy, within a marriage, employed, the housing prices up. The one thing I can advise it that many problems start when they owner refinances a comfortable … (1 comments)
Both of my children bought a home because, of course their parents are Real Estate agents. Smarter to buy than rent, right. It just so happens that within less than one year both of them found the love of their life! They were married within just a short amount of time.
Most of you know that I'm married with 5 kids. As a result, I'm an alcholic, serious drug user and in constant therapy. 
From the day my husband walked into my life my whole world changed. I learned about love in its purest form.
Another one "Bites The Dust!" 
I pulled this off the Reuters news line. A Massachusetts company that specializes in compensation conducted a survey of 40,000 mothers on their site, http://www.salary.com/. The firm concluded that the typical Mom puts in 92 hours a week, performs 10 job functions and is worth $140,000 per year based upon the … (31 comments)
I recently blogged about favorite Christmas videos and named one of my favorite Christmas songs as, "I'll Be Home For Christmas". I really don't know for sure, but I always believed it was about soldiers away from home during the holidays. It could apply to anyone yearning to be with someone they … (5 comments)
On our last show, we talked about gender roles and their impact on relationships. We explored the idea that the institution of marriage may be losing its appeal in part due to the old “scripts” for men and women that no longer match the realities of life. 
We all know that the 1997 tax code granted single homeowners a $250,000 and married couples a $500,000 deduction on their primary residence as long as they lived in the home 2 out of the last 5 years. If there has been an event that a homeowner did not anticipate before … (0 comments)
GOod morning my friends! Happy Thanksgiving week. May you all be blessed and love the ones you are with.
I want to shout to the Gods & the Crowds amongst me....my amigo is married! Bill Engleman is freaking married!!!
Do you remember where you were six years ago? Most likely you do. I know I do. There's not too much anybody can add to what happened....we all know how we felt. It was truly a day where everybody's lives stood still. Maybe just for a couple of days...but life took … (1 comments)
Before he became Hyman Goldman, he was a sheva boy living in Russia. I don't know as I ever heard what his Russian name was.Sheva is the Hebrew word that means seven. "Sitting sheva" is a Jewish custom whereby the family and friends take turns thanking God for the life of … (4 comments)
I would be honored to notarize your Declaration of Domestic Partnership form for you. 
March 1991, two weeks after graduating the LAPD Police Academy I went with my training officer into a Bakers Square Restaurant. For that matter, I had no choice. It was speak only if spoken to and the first and last words out of my filthy sewer will be "sir".. (for some … (2 comments)
Up until now, I have thought of the Federal Fair Housing Laws as sort of "common sense". Familial Status is easy to see when there is maybe a married couple, or a single person, or a family with or without children, or a gay couple, or a brother and sister living with … (2 comments)
A few minutes before the church services started, the townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate. Soon everyone had … (4 comments)
Boy do we know short sales! Recently I had a client that was behind on their mortgage payments, so they came to me in a time of need to help them sell their home so that they could get a Fresh Start! 
10 reasons why Gay marriage is wrong:
I almost had to play marriage counselor to a young couple today at the closing table.
You have two choices in life:You can stay single and be miserable or get married and wish you were dead. At a cocktail party, one woman said to another, "Aren't you wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger?" "Yes, I am. I married the wrong man." A lady inserted an … (8 comments)
Your Money Matters: Say 'I Do' to Home Buying 
Today is my 5 year anniversary. It's amazing to reflect on all of the changes that have taken place. It is both of our first, and only, marriages and we are both in our 40's. 6 years ago I wasn't married, didn't have a kid, worked part-time in ministry, lived with a … (4 comments)
I realize that this is not pertinent to anything.......but I just wanted to say it anyway. I'm getting married on 5/26/07. Me and my fiance' are very excited and can't wait to begin life as a family. Not sure where we are going for our honeymoon, we can't afford to go … (6 comments)
I was just sitting around, thinking..."What has been going on in my life lately that pertains to an interesting real estate analogy?"
I once read, "In Life, there is no Happily Ever After" ....Life is Occasionally Depressed! I've reflected on it often as I hit a new real estate "challenge. And I believe that's a good thing... 
God gave me a revelation about a man, many years before i met my husband. (During a time of great suffering). When GOD showed me who His real man was, i wept bitterly, for my eyes opened to discover that i too had been a verbal abuser of men in my ignorance, along … (18 comments)

HOW TO STAY MARRIED! 
One of the best tape series I’ve ever listened to is Dr. Ellen Kreidman’s Light Your Fire. http://www.lightyourfire.com It is two separate sets of tapes or cd’s. One for men, one for women. It explains how to act in your marriage or relationship. It explains what women want & what men … (4 comments)
Sometimes life is not all about real estate. I was so touched by a story depicted on 20/20 last night that it moved me to tears and made me think once again about all the unsung heroes out there in the real world. It was about a young couple, both with … (6 comments)
