- 07/30/10 03:25 PM
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." Harold Whitman If you are bored in your job; if you are hanging with people who do not place a smile on your face; if you wake up and say "ugh, another day to live"; then it is time you COME ALIVE! Change something in your life. Make it happen for you AND the ones who love you. Think: WHAT MAKES YOU COME ALIVE? … (8 comments)
On a recent transaction, I had a buyer who was purchasing a 2 unit home to occupy one of the units. He was being financed by an FHA loan. Per FHA guidelines, the buyer must take occupancy within 30 days. The condition on the P&S was to have one of the tenants vacate the premises. The seller was not able to meet this condition by the mortgage contingency date, so I requested … (5 comments)

ri purchase: IPHONE just took a dip in the pool!
- 07/24/10 06:06 AM
My daughter's boyfriend's IPHONE just had a dip in the pool! We quickly acted and started the drying process. I checked out the You Tube Video's for tips on correcting this ugly situation. We were told to do the following by the You Tube "experts":
•1) We took out the Sim card and dried it with a towel. •2) We took out the dryer and started drying the whole phone on a low warm heat setting. •3) The drying enabled us to power "off". •4) We placed the phone in a dish and covered it with rice. •5) Now we wait … (7 comments)
ri purchase: WAIT A MINUTE!! WHERE are the AR points for my peers?
- 07/19/10 04:21 PM
Ok...where did the points go for everybody? We are missing a piece of AR we all enjoyed seeing! Have you noticed your point tally on Active Rain no longer is publicized? Click on your state and see the changes that AR made. For one, you no longer know how many points you need to step up to the next level or how many the step below you has to go to catch up to you.
Is all this important anyways? In the scope of life, NO, but AR can be a game of sport which encourages blogging. The blogging also creates … (10 comments)
ri purchase: Want to live longer?
- 07/13/10 04:11 PM
"You live longer once you realize that any time spent being unhappy is wasted." Ruth E Renkl We can choose to be unhappy or we can choose to be happy. No one MAKES us unhappy. We LET others make us unhappy. We all need to learn to "tune out" those around us who want to steal our joy and hope our joy rubs off on them....somehow! If we succeed, we all live longer! It's a win-win! So, go be HAPPY today! … (2 comments)

"Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice: It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." William Jennings Bryan

ri purchase: Do you give up? Or do you turn a defeat into a VICTORY?
- 07/08/10 03:52 PM
"My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories." Bjorn Borg - Professional Tennis Player
Persistence is the KEY to success! Do not accept defeat. YOU may lose a seller or a buyer, but a new consumer is around the corner who DOES wish to have the benefit of your services. Bjorn Borg : You got it RIGHT!

ri purchase: Do you appreciate people?
- 06/09/10 01:28 PM
"I will smile at friend and foe alike and make every effort to find, in him or her, a quality to praise, now that I realize the deepest yearning of human nature is the craving to be appreciated." Og Mandino (1923-1996), Author and Speaker
Sometimes we need to take a step (OR TWO!) back and think about the POSITIVES of a person and learn to appreciate those positives. Unfortunately, it is easy to see the negatives. So, the next time you see a positive, please be sure to let the person know you appreciate that positive.
By the way, … (1 comments)

I wish we could go back to the days of G rated everything for public entertainment. Check out this video made in Belgium at a train station. Look at how happy everyone is: young and old.

- 05/28/10 04:25 PM
"Do you remember the things you were worrying about a year ago? How did they work out? Didn't you waste a lot of fruitless energy on account of most of them? Didn't most of them turn out all right after all?" Dale Carnegie
Worrying is a waste of our energy. If we work hard and focus on our goals, we CAN attain them. We spend so much time on things we cannot control. Why? It is truly human nature.
Are you a WORRY WART?

"If we were only logical, the future would be bleak indeed. But we are more than logical. We are human beings, and we have faith and we have hope, and we can work." Jacques Cousteau (1910 - 1997) French oceanographer No matter how tough the economy is or how tough the industry is we are in, we can dust ourselves off each day and go to work for the client, and, ultimately, ourselves. If the system is not working, we need to change ourselves and figure out how to create a new system: a new way of doing business. We are … (3 comments)

"If you always understand that the people in your life are there for a reason, you will never be angry." As Seinfeld characters would say for anger management: SERENITY NOW !
This is the world peace answer! Now, all we need to do is have everyone repeat it a million times together to get through all the "THIN HEADS" and the "THICK HEADS"!
I "get it" now. I don't feel anymore anger. How about you?
Active Rain posters: Are there people out here who just write about nothing important to our industry?
Tire-kickers: How about the buyers who drag you from house to house for over a year and then say : "oh, I'm going to take a year off and think about it". Is it all about nothing with them?
Sellers: Yes, they list their house with you and when you present reasonable offers, they want to think about it or they will … (4 comments)
