ARE YOU WORKING ON THE FOURTH OF JULY?

I KNOW THAT REAL ESTATE NEVER SLEEPS. I'VE BEEN IN THE REAL ESTATE INSPECTION INDUSTRY FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND I GET REQUESTS FOR INSPECTIONS ON MOST MAJOR HOLIDAYS.

WE ACTUALLY DO INSPECTIONS ON MOST HOLIDAYS BUT MY INSPECTORS GET 4 DAYS OFF A YEAR... INDEPENDENCE DAY, THANKSGIVING DAY, CHRISTMAS DAY AND NEW YEARS DAY. (Even though they get these days off we tend to book inspections on these days occassionally. In fact, last 4th of July one of my helpful inspectors did a big job for a celebrity client while the rest of us enjoyed our company picnic in the park.)

I'M JUST CURIOUS HOW MANY OF YOU OUT THERE ARE GOING TO BE WORKING OVER THE HOLIDAY?

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME GOOD OLD FASHIONED R&R!

HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE FOURTH OF JULY!

Not working at the office or taking calls at home -- but not working?? My honey-do list is so long it's gonna take more than one holiday!

Hi John:

I'm checking out blogs on AR, so I guess I'm kinda working. Today is just catch up day. Slept late and that was really nice.

Be Safe &

Went to a local fireworks display and got stuck in the parking lot for 1 1/2 hours after the fireworks show. My car was parked behind a car that had a bumper sticker that read "911 was an inside job."

That was not so great!
