It's Memorial Day Weekend...

But I'm Still Working Here in the Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex Area.

Yes folks, it's true. While I fully intend to take Memorial Day off, (we'll see how that goes!) I'm still working.

In this crazy business we call Real Estate, long weekends seem to spur on calls and people wanting to look at homes.

So, if you need me, I'm still working the Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area.

And I'm only a phone call away...

Craig, I'm still working trying to keep a deal together...we are really just not close enough. I'm at the office now and will be for a couple of hours tomorrow...unless I get a call of course.

Your quote, 'If a day ends in 'y' I'm working' is SO true in this business, isn't it? I think those of us fortunate to love what we do, don't mind a bit either! Have a great Memorial Day!

Craig, that brunette in the phone booth with you, doesn't look anything like Heather Locklear. Have you two split? I haven't heard any gossip about it.

Hi Craig, I'm still working too! Normally those 3 day weekends bring a lot of people up our way. Hopefully you will enjoy your Holiday- working or not! Where did you find a phone booth? I though they'd gone the way of VCRs and nylons with seams!

Craig, you are right - this one is unusually busy weekend for me (and for many others with few open house signs and lots of visitors at the open house.) Showing some more homes tonight - and if this is the trend in the industry, recovery is not that far!

Craig, thanks for the positive thoughts...that call came in this morning (Memorial Day)...an accepted offer. So, things are working out...maybe I'll get a day off in the fall or when you call to go see your brother up in Knoxville.

Craig, hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and didn't work too hard. Sometimes, there are no holidays for a hard working Realtor.

Juli - Fear not Juli! I'll be here! Whether I'm working or not, AR is a part of my daily routine!

Praful - I think you're right about recovery coming sooner rather than later. Good luck this weekend!

Russell - Welcome back my friend to the show that never ends. We're so glad you could attend. Come inside, come inside.... You know the rest!

Nick - Conga Rats to you and your clients Nick! Gotta love it when you have to work a holiday but it proves to be successful. See you in Knoxville! Maybe we can get Thornton to come join us too.

Gabe - Thanksgiving and Christmas are the only two given days off. Every other day is fair game for working. Hope you had a great weekend Gabe.
