mike mccann nebraska land broker: Do You Know The NAME of the Person Helping You At The Coffee shop?
- 08/01/25 07:06 AM
Note to Self: When you are writing a date specific blog...Make sure you actually post it online and not just save in your drafts file like I did on this one! Just imagine from the end of this sentence...it is the morning of Friday the 1st!
Good Morning to my AR friends!
Many years ago I made it a point to learn the names of folks that help me at various businesses around the small towns and here in Kearney that I see on a semi-regular basis.
I keep a "cheat sheet" of names on my Doc app for some places including this one.

mike mccann nebraska land broker: The Dryer is Running...Almost Time to go Catch It!!
- 04/16/25 09:45 AM
How does it work at your house? The Laundry...I mean.
Do you help your spouse with the laundry?
Guys...do you wash your own clothes?
Gals...if they do...do they leave the machines how they found them?
Oops...there is a beep...better go pull the socks and other things out of the dryer! Be back in a few.
Back...socks are dry! Life is good!
I lived on my own for many years prior to getting married and was used to doing my own laundry.
Heck...I even did laundry as a kid...so no big deal.
After getting married, We tried doing it together and after a few years of me losing … (10 comments)

mike mccann nebraska land broker: School Has Started...Please Be Careful Out There!
- 08/14/24 09:23 AM
Above photo is Mach1 Realty's St Paul, NE satellite office.
.............................................................
Yesterday, Tuesday, I attended a luncheon in my hometown of St Paul, NE that is held every year for the Teachers and Staff of the public school.
Some of the talk was that the kids would be out on the streets and to ask everyone to pay closer attention at Stop signs and intersections.
Normally,
Mach1 Realty gives out free Helgoth's watermelons (locally grown) but the 2024 crop is about 3 weeks behind schedule due to the wet weather we have had.
Melons actually like it dry in the growing stage.
Mach1 Realty will do something … (7 comments)

mike mccann nebraska land broker: Wondering Wednesday - Who Are the 50 Folks Clicking on My Blogs?
- 07/10/24 07:21 AM
Do you ever wonder who is reading your words of wit and wisdom?
Every time I see the Active Rain e-mail that says in the header: "You just received click #50 on..." I wonder...who is clicking?
The email starts out: "It looks like some people like what you have to say..."
Do you wonder? Yeah...me too! Who are these 50+ clickers? Do they even read the blog or just the first paragraph?
I mean...when they leave a comment it is obvious that you or they stopped by.
Because I don't have tons of time to goof off...I decided to take an hour or two of valuable … (13 comments)

mike mccann nebraska land broker: Blog 11 of 30! Prepping for the Summer Company Meeting on Thursday!
- 06/11/24 07:16 AM
Well...last night I almost blew my streak of Blogs for the month of June.
Or Did I?
Last night I was just sitting down in the chair to relax...I was a bit tired.
I had finished tearing apart some 4x8 signs that were on the commercial subdivision we just completed. And it was not easy.
Except for the white part, the signs were being taken apart and cut up because after 2 years in the ground & weather...the heavy wood posts and supports will not be going to another subdivision. They were twisted junk.
Anyway...I had just sat down and remembered that I needed to … (9 comments)

- 06/07/24 08:58 AM
Today...Friday, June 7, 2024 is the day for Blog 7 0f 30 for me!
And also another Closing Day!
This one makes my heart happy.
If you can blow the photo up you will see it says Newman Center Rectory on the small sign above the mailbox.
That is right...I also work with church organizations when requested.
The difference here is that the Newman Center is located on the edge of the University of Nebraska - Kearney campus and has been an integral part of the community for the students and families who kid's attend UNK like our kids did.

mike mccann nebraska land broker: Goal For June - 30 Blog Posts - Can He Do It? Stay Tuned!
- 06/01/24 08:19 AM
Some years ago there was an AR Challenge to post a blog each day for a month.
I remember starting out strong and then life and work got in the way. I think I missed it by 2 or 3 blogs.
SO I decided this morning that I am going to have my own mini-contest...with myself... 30 Blogs for the month of June.
Some of you will laugh at that number as you do that many every week or two...and many of you are like me...you have never done 30 blogs in a month.
What the heck do you write about 30 times in 30 … (14 comments)

- 05/30/24 08:19 AM
Happy Thursday to all of you!
Three Thursday Thoughts of others you may or may not have seen recently here on AR...a location stock full of people smarter than I am!!
The first one comes from somewhere on a lake in Utah with Wanda Kubat-Nerdin:
"It's been said that...Good things come to those who wait.
Instead, I say...Rainbows come to those who bait!"
Nothing fishy about her comment...she is just out chasing Rainbows!!

Next Up is Kathy Streib and her great blog earlier today. She reminds us to:

mike mccann nebraska land broker: The Rains on the Plains Remains - Causing Strains on our Drains!
- 05/03/24 11:39 AM
Yep....Just like I drew it up! I love it when a plan comes together!
Ohh...I know what you may be thinking....Mike stole that from the A-Team guy!!!
And the internet...the all mighty great Swambezi Internet...master of all quotes...and never wrong...ever... even when it works with lightening speed: About 1,010,000,000 results (0.42 seconds) says "a billion results might change it...but we think Hannibal Smith was the first".
Personally I think that is most likely Bull Smit....but this is a story about the Rains on the Plains...so let's get on with it!
On April 25th I Did the Rain Dance Blog because we were very, very … (5 comments)

mike mccann nebraska land broker: Mentorship For the Real Estate Industry? A Few Pros, Cons, & Thoughts
- 04/25/24 12:23 PM
Well, Once again...I was so long winded on a response to Michael Elliott excellent post...I decided to take my comments and turn into a blog.
Read his very great blog about Apprenticeship in our Industry here: https://activerain.com/blogsview/5840191/new-licensees-should-serve-an-apprenticeship
My thoughts I shared with Michael regarding the idea of required apprenticeship on a national basis are as follows with a couple of minor edits:
Every agent that hangs their license with me was brand new when they came on board. I helped four of them get their licenses. And hired 1 agent after he passed his license and asked to come on board.
So far those 4 have … (11 comments)

mike mccann nebraska land broker: Mind Games - Yes, My Friend - They Really Are Real - I Think - Maybe?
- 04/24/24 07:33 AM
Happy Tuesday All,
I was following a blog by Patricia Kennedy - read it here:
https://activerain.com/blogsview/5539151/don-t-be-stupid-
And of course I had to leave a comment that was the size of a blog...so Voila...another blog is born. Patricia's blog was about security cameras and theft and being stupid...and my response was pretty much a story about a broken toilet and my mind thinking I could get in trouble at the hardware store.
Here it is (with a couple of minor edits):
I have 2 extra office keys in a tiny plastic bag in my briefcase.

Dear Mother Nature...What did I do to make you so mad at me?
You know I have been in your corner defending your ups and downs and mood swings for decades! But you are testing my patience today!
All I said was snow, snow go away...so you respond with 3 straight days of fog and mist? Come on...if I wanted to live in fog and mist...I would move to fog and mist country.

mike mccann nebraska land broker: The "Why" and How I became a 31 year Real Estate Professional!
- 01/11/24 07:34 AM
Good Thursday to All...Waiting on our next snow storm that is supposed to push through in about 5 hours or so...and then the bitter cold sets in!
Thinking about warm weather and green fields...thus the above photo!
I was finishing up some computer work last night and began reading a blog from Liz and Bill Spear asking "Do you have your why?" You can read it here: https://activerain.com/blogsview/5824851/ask-an-ambassador---do-you-have-your-why-
It is a great blog and I encourage all to read it. Of course I had to respond and give my "why" I went into real estate back in the early 1990's. Inside the quoted … (11 comments)

mike mccann nebraska land broker: DO You FollowUp After That First Contact? I Mean Really Follow up?
- 01/08/24 11:19 AM
I was reading and commenting on a blog from Denise Lones
https://activerain.com/blogsview/5824309/if-you-do-only-one-thing-in-2024--make-it-this
You should read it and check it out and the comments that follow.
As for me, I decided My comment was half of a blog so I made it into a full blown one!
DO YOU Follow Up new contacts and leads? I mean really follow up?!
Followup is the biggest income generator for me. If you make 100 contacts and never follow up that is close to 100 warm calls of previous contacts not made. I have been doing this real estate thing since before being licensed in 1992...and I still drop potential … (17 comments)

mike mccann nebraska land broker: Be Careful What You Are Looking For...Might Find a Can of Worms!!
- 11/27/23 07:08 AM
Earlier this year I joined the "Why aren't you retired club?" I mean it is a fair question and I am getting closer to the "Fall Season" of life!
Yep...tacked another decade on the resume'.
So now everyone asks me when am I going to retire. My pat answer is: "6 to 8 weeks after they plant my sorry butt in the ground!" (I figure that is about how long the last property that is in escrow will take to close).
I hadn't really thought much about retirement as I am about 10 years older than my wife and what the heck would … (6 comments)
