yahoo: Pedestrian Tales From the Middle of the Road, #52

Pedestrian Tales From the Middle of the Road, #52 Well, it's been a while since I posted one of these. I'm sure I've missed a few in the time that's passed since my last posting (and I'm going to do my best to catch up), but what follows is much of what remains far too typical here: pedestrian disobeys traffic laws and walks into the street, vehicle comes along and tries to avoid pedestrian, they can't do it, pedestrian dies. Hard to misunderstand or misconstrue what happened here- as the caption from the story's video says it all: "Man walking in (2 comments)

It seems so simple- don't give up. It's just a few words and a simple directive...so it should be easy, right?
Wrong.
Anyone who has ever earned anything worth anything, or accomplished anything they're reasonably proud of in their life will surely attest that it wasn't all that easy. Giving up is easy. Fighting for what you want when the odds are against you, sweating and training while others play, working long hours while your friends are out partying- that's hard.
Let your tenant have a Pit Bull? Think twice... If you've been in the property management/leasing business for any length of time- whether single family or multi-family, you've had an owner of one of these cute little fellas express an interest in renting a place from you. Sure, your office policy says "No aggressive breeds" (and specifically includes Pit Bulls such as this one)- but you figure that business is a bit slow and it won't hurt to take this one Pit Bull. But think twice- for doing so can lead (4 comments)
May God bless and keep the family and friends of WWII hero Delbert Belton- and may He bring the two savages who beat him to death to justice. The life of this member of our Greatest Generation deserved to end in a manner far better than this.

Oh well. Another day, another pedestrian killed on our roadways for venturing out where they shouldn't be, where motorists shouldn't expect them to be, and where yet another motorist must re-live an avoidable tragedy for the rest of his life. Unless and until our local law enforcement agencies decide they would truly like to put an end to these by enforcing our pedestrian traffic laws, these will continue. Let's review the highlights of this story in head-shake mode, if you will: lady walking in the middle of the (8 comments)
I've been bouncing an "effort versus results"-type question around in my head for a few days now. It'd be great if the above statement were true all of the time- but sadly, it's just not the case. We've all worked our tails off trying to get a place sold or rented, yet failed to do so. Or we've tried like heck to find the perfect home for a buyer client to no avail.
And I'd figure many of us have known that office slacker (12 comments)

ORRA announces candidates for 2014 Leadership Election ORRA announces candidates for 2014 Leadership Election As the old familiar saying goes, "To whom much is given, from him much will be required". It's in the spirit of that adage that I've decided to join the contest for one of the four open seats on our Orlando Regional Realtor Association's Board of Directors for the upcoming year. Voting will be conducted September 23rd-27th, with electronic access to the ballots being given to members in good standing via email. ORRA has posted information on the campaign in the past few days, and it (0 comments)
Now that I have your attention... This wasn't the headline today- but the way some of my tenant prospects have been acting lately, it wouldn't surprise me to wake up one day and find this to be a true-life newspaper quote.
As many of you likely do, we advertise our rental properties and place signs in the front yards of our places when the HOA's allow. We also place lockboxes on the doors of those same properties- kinda makes the whole "showing" thing go a bit smoother when (0 comments)
I dare say that whether we fall along the sales or the property management side of our business, we all love referrals. For many, they're the very lifeblood of their business. The key to receiving quality referrals on a regular basis, though, is that one must give them out as well.
So what happens when a referral goes wrong? A wide range of things, I suppose- some we can recover from, some we can't.

You wanna put your what...where? And for how long?
The following is an excerpt from a tenant prospect's email this morning:
"I have a question since this request is associated with an out of state move from New Orleans. My cousins are arriving in the area on the 31st or latest 1st August. Is it practical for their movers to store their items in a POD or so in the driveway until the current tenant vacates the property?"
What? Our posted availability date for the property (4 comments)
