mike mccann world renowned humorist: Creative Writing Juices Need Replenished or Am I At A Loss For Words?
- 03/27/24 12:07 PM
Do not let my wife see this blog. (She rarely reads them anyway.) I have hit a bump in the road on blogging again. Sorry Kathy Streib I know you want to hear from me...but really there is Nothing exciting going on except the regular ups and downs of business as usual for real estate...and we all are healthy as I write this. I am scratching my head on what to write or talk about. My wife would be shocked... so it is best to leave her in the dark on this one. This photo was supposed to show me scratching my head … (8 comments)
mike mccann world renowned humorist: BOOM! It is Tax Season! Are Your Client Closing Costs Deductible?
- 01/10/24 11:03 AM
Just received a request for a W-9 from a client whom we Sold a Grocery Store for in 2023. He did not own the building so we simply Sold the business. Thus the need for a W-9. Got the W-9 sent off to both him and my agent and decided...Welp...here is another Blog that should be written! MY QUESTION: DO YOU send a reminder to your clients to remember to check if any of their closing costs are deductible? I simply email, mail, text, drop a social media message, talk face to face, or on the phone to remind them to check and make … (6 comments)
mike mccann world renowned humorist: AI vs Al - Can You Tell the Difference? An Al Disquisition-Look It Up!
- 01/03/24 07:46 AM
Good Day All...Even to You AI programs that may be perusing this Blog. I am making a feeble rejoinder to the request of Carol Williams and Margaret Rome to participate in the Jan 2024 AR Blog Challenge: https://activerain.com/blogsview/5823245/january-2024-challenge--ai---love-it-or-hate-it I have my trusty cup of coffee by my side and am ready to let these fingers blaze across the keyboard writing this dissertation!! Side note #1: Look up the synonyms for the word "blog". I am surprised to witness that the choices of a synonym for this memoir are few and quite frankly...pathetic. So the assignment for this Blog is to share our thoughts on AI and … (29 comments)
mike mccann world renowned humorist: Coffee Shop Cogitations! What is the Real Meaning of Pondering?
- 11/30/23 07:00 AM
Rapt Friday to All! I hope all of you that are perusing this have had a transpicuous & lucid week! A few things I have mused multiple times in writing in earlier posts is my love for a certain coffee shop in Kearney, NE...Kitt's Coffee, and as I have ruminated in a very recent post about growing older and having a ton of Dr visits to make sure I can keep working on my prodigious Bucket list...and since I have taken all of you who read my blogs along for this lengthy ride...and since I purchased the bottomless cup of demitasse...thus we are now at … (9 comments)
mike mccann world renowned humorist: 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)
mike mccann world renowned humorist: Embracing Life Lessons in An August Blog For the Record Book
- 08/31/23 12:13 PM
This is a shoutout to Anna Kruchten and Carol Williams. My entry into the August 2023 Challenge has arrived! First the personal part of the contest: Personal Lessons. I thought long and hard on this one and almost did not write the post because of the requirement to share about childhood and beyond. I am going to be polite and just say that... as was common in the 50's and 60's...there were a lot of mouths to feed from a big family. So I will not dwell on the fact that I am close with only 1 of 6 siblings. Between siblings...Dad's work...and both Mom and Dad's … (18 comments)
mike mccann world renowned humorist: Advertising...What Really Works?...Asking for a Friend!! :>)
- 08/16/23 09:25 AM
Advertising...Are You PRO Advertising or CON Advertising? I sometimes think the thousands upon thousands of dollars are a waste of time and then the next day I think it is all worth it! You would think after 32 years in this business I would have it figured out...but NOOOOO! I do not. I just called to cancel an advertising contract that costs me about $4,500/year as I do not see any results from it. It is on a national land site and just seems like I am wasting that money. I usually advertise for 2 years on these type of contracts. Of course the … (13 comments)

mike mccann world renowned humorist: DO NOT...I REPEAT...DO NOT...Just Open That DocuSign or Other Links
- 07/21/23 06:53 AM
This Mornings Public Annoucement is: Be Careful...Be Smart...Be Diligent..Be Informed! DO NOT OPEN THAT LINK...YET...or Maybe NEVER!! Last night, late evening, I received a DocuSign email from an attorneys office that I have not done business with nor am involved with on any transaction...current or past. Receiving a DocuSign is not unusual but this one seemed too far off. Although the email supposedly came from a company that is on the edge of the area our company serves...none of our current clients are near there...and yet not always so unusual as we have clients with attorneys and lenders far from their home. Of course … (27 comments)

- 12/31/22 11:24 AM
I have had my last minutes of sleep in 2022. When I go to bed next it will be in early 2023. 2022 was very good to me real estate wise. Either my best or 2nd best ever. December was an incredible month for my real estate. Heck...I even put under contract a very unique property that I had all but given up hope on. On a personal basis, My wife and kids are all healthy...two brother in laws had cancer scares and are no longer worried about that. Both family and close friends added munchkins to the clan. At least one more in … (4 comments)

- 03/11/21 10:12 AM
As I sit here sneezing for the 1,345th time in last three days...I wanted to give a quick update on my Covid Shot Journey. I have sensitive eyes...and the white background on the large screen I am typing on is gnarly on the AR page. I have sneezed 4 times since I started writing this blog. Usually about 1 time a year I get a dang cold and this is the week for that. I first noticed it while talking on the phone the other day with Kathy Streib.

mike mccann world renowned humorist: The Dreaded U in You! Is Me or Something Else?
- 12/11/20 08:09 PM
Alright...this blog is probably not what you are thinking you were going to read when you clicked on this blog. Hey...it is me...what did you expect something logical? This is about the dreaded you on my keyboard. It is painstakingly close to the o and i...only a total of 1.5 inches from the center of the u to the center of the o with the i in between. And on the other side is the starter letter for that short word..."y". Pretty standard don't you think? The "y" seems to be in the perfect place on the board. So why do I have such a problem … (20 comments)
