In all kinds of weather we keep it together

Wow, woke up this morning to a blanket of the powdery stuff and 22 degrees!  I was scheduled to meet with a seller in my community at 9am to go over the listing paperwork and get her husband signed as she was going to be off today. Her husband is in Singapore and needs me to get papers to him to sign electronically so I'm using Docusign (what would I do without it).  So in all kinds of weather we keep it together!  I put my boots and parka on and walked to her house!  It was fun snapping pictures along the way.  She was not in the lease bit surprised to see me even though school was out!

Too bad this dusting of snow didn't come along in December when our Christmas trees were decorated and we were all dreaming of a white Christmas!

Stay off the roads...the crazies are out there and stay warm!  The rest of the country have some pity on us even though you have been suffering for weeks and let us whine a bit.  We are tender here..We're not used to being tough like you are!

Good morning Marilyn,

You will love Docusign! We came to terms on an offer yesterday and my seller got it back to me in less than 15 minutes. I sent it over to the other agent whose buyers were back in AZ..it took them longer as he was faxing to get their initials on the final contract. He doesn't beleive in electronic signatures so he took about 3 hours to get it back to me!

Good morning Judy,

My client is abusy lady..she owns a very successful business, has 4 kids and they are moving to Sinapore! She needed me to go over everything with her and then send off to husband. It worked out well to be able to spend the time she had previously allocated!

Good morning Roger,

We are still cold and I'm wondering if we are ever going to get back to our normal 60+ degree days that are normal for us at this time of the year!

Dorie, knowing you live in a warmer climate, I am quite surprised you had boots and a parka!     What would we do without electronic contracts --- they are a dream come true!   Good job on another listing, and be safe!

Good morning Joan,

We got back from Switzerland the first of January and I got some new boots..turned out I've gotten lots of wear out of them this year!! Electronic contracts are a lifesaver!
