It has been a very wet last year for many states in the south and west this year. I can remember moving to New Jersey after college to take my first job, and there was an article in a magazine shortly after arriving about a dried up lake not far from the apartment. They had a shot of the Governor standing in the middle of a dry lake bed, lamenting that we would see more of this in the future.Fast forward to today. The local lake here is 4 feet over "Full Pool" and they are having to release copious amounts of water from the lake, flooding areas downstream. We had 2 days of pretty nice weather then more rain today. Why the concern about rain for the average home owner or buyer? Well, water is something that does not play well with the interiors of homes. It hastens the development of woo... 02/28/2019

First off, let me say that the only football I watch every year is the Super Bowl. And to be quite honest, I do so for two main reasons, 1) I like to watch the commercials, and 2) its the only time my wife lets me pig out on chips and dip.So this year, my routine was changed a bit. I had 2 different sets of clients want to see properties this past weekend and another want to write an offer on a commercial property. I knew I needed to get this done before my commercials, I mean the game started.Missions accomplished, I sat down with a brand new bag of chips and freshly made onion dip, all of which I had fought the crowds at the grocery store for earlier in the day, and prepared to be excited. Oh, and watch the game too.I must say I had a much more enjoyable time working with the 3 sets o... 02/04/2019

  Why is the United States dealing with Kim Jong Un (Rocket Man)?  Russia and China both border North Korea so why is the United States dealing with this "Rocket Man" Kim Jong Un? Shouldn't Russia or China deal with this Ruler that likes to shoot missiles over Japan?And threaten to Shoot them at Guam? Maybe the United States should cut off all the garbage that China imports to the United States.And if the United States owes China trillions of dollars maybe the United States should tell China to deal with Rocket Man or we don't owe you anything. I've never understood why the United States has to do all the dirty work for other countries? 09/19/2017

I saw the following article in Broker Agent News; it's from a few years ago but I thought it would help your business.I hope you're having a great day. Plus it's almost the weekend! A long weekend at that!! Getting Your Clients to Buy Now By: Maya Bailey Have you been feeling frustrated at clients who don't seem to be able to make a decision? At the beginning they seem interested in buying, either they've contacted you or you contacted them. Then as they see some homes and may begin listening to the news about today's marketplace, they start to get cold feet. They don't return your phone calls or e-mails, and when you finally reached them they say, "I'm not sure this is the best time to buy. I've heard prices may get lower." At this point you can either get exasperated and give up or yo... 06/30/2016

 Volcanic ViewThis pic is one I took while on vacation.  The volcano in the background makes for some amazing scenery.  The locals say that if it goes off the entire city will be destroyed, however they still choose to live there.  *image owned by Robert May.  No reproduction or use is authorized without permission.  You may contact me via this blog with any questions or requests.  05/25/2016

Sometimes, I come across articles that I think are really good. I like to share those with you from time to time. I hope this adds value to you today.  Enjoy this article by best selling author and leadership expert Dr. John C. Maxwell. “Discipline: The Path to PotentialBy Dr. John C. Maxwell He may have been the most naturally gifted baseball player of all time. He was clocked rounding the bases in an incredible 13 seconds. Yet, his speed was nothing compared to the power of his hitting. It's been said there were home run hitters, and then there was this man - in a league of his own. The Guinness Book of World Records credits him with hitting the longest home run ever measured, at 643 feet. The player I'm describing is the great Mickey Mantle. By the age of 19 he had been called up to ... 05/04/2016
