What Realtors (and America) can learn from Richard Sherman
 
Millions watched Erin Andrews' post-game interview with Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman following Seattle's NFC Championship win over the 49ers.  Many have commented, texted, tweeted and/or posted their opinions of the interview- and those opinions run from one extreme to the other in terms of how some thought Sherman was "raw" and "refreshing" and others viewed him as no more than a common street thug.
Folks can think of Sherman what they will, but I believe … (3 comments)

Well, here we go again.  After finishing up her texts and Facebook updates, the young frogger pictured above made it across the street without injury.  A gentleman who decided to walk in the middle of I-4 yesterday morning didn't fare quite as well.
 
When metaphor becomes reality, getting "hit by a Mack truck" isn't the best place to start...

The fight's not over, and the law is far from "settled".  I'll stand with The Holy One over 9 mortals in Supreme Court robes any day.
Firmly pro-life, today and every day.
May God bless all who appreciate and fight for the sanctity of human life.

Tenant code violations?  Owner pays

Tenant code violations?  Owner pays
 
http://www.marconews.com/news/2014/jan/15/code-enforcement-hears-renter-nuisance-complaint/
 
Seems there's been a bit of trouble brewing down on Marco Island.  Some of the goings-on with the Code Enforcement folks of this seemingly idyllic area of Southwest Florida should serve as a reminder for homeowners elsewhere, though:  if you rent out your property to tenants who don't comply with codes, you're ultimately responsible for paying any fines that accrue.
In this story, a property owner (technically their daughter) appeared at a code enforcement hearing to answer complaints that their tenant had had committed a number of … (2 comments)

This can be a tough one for some:  telling clients what they really don't want to hear.  It's something we have to do in this business, though.  Whether a listing agent on the sales side of life or a property manager looking to list a rental property, all are best served when clients are provided with current, accurate information and honest assessments....
 
...even when they don't want to hear them.

"Great" beats "good", but "good" beats "nothing"
 
I've seen it a lot in real estate/property management, but the scenario plays itself out in other facets of life as well:  passing up good while holding out for great leaves one with nothing.
In property management, for instance, an owner with a place on the market and vacant might require that applicants meet a higher credit score than our usual one.  That's well within their prerogative- and some would argue it's human nature that another applicant will soon follow any that are sent on … (2 comments)

2014 Rental listings- Photos You Shouldn't Post
We've all seen 'em- those ads we can't believe someone posted, yet they posted.  I'm not sure what goes through the minds of some, but I figured that as we head into 2014, I'd offer a few examples of photos you shouldn't post.  For those who are into lists of "do's and don'ts" and such, these would surely be "don'ts".
The photo above is a decent example of Photos You Shouldn't Post Type #1:  blurry photos.  Perhaps this photo's snapper was intentionally blurring the entire … (8 comments)

Jaywalking...an Orlando family tradition that took a tragic turn this Christmas.  There are some things we shouldn't pass along to our kids- and the habit of jaywalking should be pretty high on the "not to" list....
Another tragedy- yet a very preventable one if folks would only use sidewalks for walking and let cars use the streets.

Hard to find sufficient words for this.  Many ascribe to the notion that a picture is worth 1,000 words, and I'm glad we have the luxury of photos for moments like this one might find otherwise find hard to believe.
