college station: Free McCafe coffee from McDonalds in the Research Valley!
- 07/01/08 05:46 AM
For the coffee lovers out there in Aggieland, I have been told that McDonalds is giving away their specialty coffees until the end of this week. I would assume that this is for the Brazos county McDonalds. I know that the store at Rock Prairie and the bypass in College Station, TX is participating, because I just went there about 30 minutes ago and got a free McCafe iced mocha...strong but good!
Now, this is not being advertised, and you must ask for their free McCafe coffee, otherwise you will be charged. They also have mocha, latte, iced latte, cappuccino and some … (0 comments)

college station: Preparation is key to success in Classical Guitar and Real Estate
- 05/06/08 03:41 AM
I found out last Tuesday that I would be playing my classical guitar on Thursday for a group of ~1,000 people at a conference that I was attending! Needless to say, that is not much time to prepare. So, I decide to play "What a Friend We have in Jesus", a hymn arrangement that wasn't too hard, and that I could polish up in a short amount of time. The piece went well and I wasn't nervous until the last chord!
In Real Estate, being prepared to answer a seller's objections, like, "How much commission do you charge?" or "I want to think about it." … (4 comments)

college station: Take a step backward, and get......perspective!
- 04/16/08 02:23 AM
Recently I was playing Table tennis with my brother Nekoda, we were having a good 'ol time, until he started beating me about as much as I was beating him! Normally, I don't have this problem, so I took a step backward to see if I could figure out what went wrong. Then it dawned on me...I had fixed the problem! I fixed it by taking a literal step back from the table while I was playing. This gave me more time to react to the spins that Nekoda was giving me. Consequently, I started winning pretty much all of the games!

college station: Oh, the joys of Real Estate!
- 04/08/08 09:18 AM
I recently got a listing at 420 Manuel Dr. in College Station, TX. I put up the sign and everything was going along fine until....
I went out to the house to check on things earlier today. When I got there, I looked around a little, and thought, "something doesn't seem right with this picture" Then I realized that the sign was missing! I found the sign laying on the ground...it looked like it had been in a fight and got the wrong end of the deal!
Oh well, guess I will have to put up another sign later today! Thankfully, this duplex is … (12 comments)

college station: Jugglers...otherwise know as Realtors!
- 02/29/08 06:50 AM
As I am becoming more familiar with my job as a real estate agent here in College Station, TX, I am realizing how much like juggling my job is. If it is not one thing, it is another...what with driving down the road, talking on the phone, writing down info. Or in the office, ending one conversation on your cell phone only to have to answer the office phone or respond to the myriad of emails. Quite the challenge but fun!
PS By the way, I actually can juggle three objects for about 15 to 20 seconds :)

college station: Buyers beware...Things not to do before you purchase a home
- 02/21/08 09:21 AM
I have been working with a young couple that wanted to buy a house here in Bryan College Station, TX. When they talked to the loan officer to get pre-approved, it came up that they recently bought a new car last month. This might have been okay except that the car dealer wound up pulling their credit score over a dozen times. As a result their credit score suffered.
The car is actually for a relative that is paying them cash, which in turn, they use to make the payment. Unfortunately, the loan officer has to have twelve months worth of cancel … (7 comments)

college station: Augustin Barrios and the Classical guitar
- 02/12/08 06:52 AM
One of my favorite composers for the classical guitar is Augustin Barrios. Barrios was born in 1885 in Paraguay, he was a phenomenal guitarist every bit as good as his contemporary "El Maestro" Andres Segovia. Currently when I am not helping people buy and sell homes here in College Station/Bryan, TX, I am learning a piece that Barrios wrote called the "Primavera-vals" (waltz) it has a very beautiful melody.
For those that might be interested in hearing his music, I would recommend buying David Russell's recording of Barrios' music, or John William's, either one is absolutely gorgeous. You should be able to find it in … (3 comments)

college station: Table Tennis - Great fun!
- 02/11/08 06:16 AM
One of my favorite hobbies is Table Tennis, commonly known as ping-pong. I really enjoy playing my brother Nekoda, we will go and duke it out for a good ten games or more, at least once a week if not two or three times! So far, I have normally been getting the best of the match-ups, but I am sure there is probably coming a time where he will be winning more than I :( In the mean time, I will enjoy the slight edge that I have on him right now. :)
One thing I wish I could do is to … (4 comments)

college station: Brazos Barbershoppers & Classical guitar
- 02/05/08 07:31 AM
Hearing the wonderful tones of the Barbershop quartet wafting through the air as I was preparing to play my classical guitar was a great experience! The occasion? A suprise 50th and 1/2 birthday party at one of the local houses here in College Station!
The Barbershopers are my singing buddies on Tuesday nights when we meet to pratice. In case you have never heard a Barbershop quartet sing, most of them are quite the characters.
I definitely had an enjoyable evening, with the quartet, and playing my guitar for a couple of hours as back-ground music for the party.

college station: Brazos Barbershoppers, spreading the "Christmas Cheer"
- 12/05/07 02:55 AM
I can't even begin to imagine what it meant to the residents of the Assisted living home that we performing for, but seeing all the smiling faces as we were singing "It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas" or "Jingle bells" was great fun and very rewarding. It was wonderful to be able to spread some "Christmas cheer" to the people that were listening.
Probably the funniest song that we sang, was "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth". Before we sang the song, we put some black wax on our two front teeth to simulate that they were missing, … (3 comments)

college station: Ten phone calls per day...great advice!!!
- 11/28/07 06:14 AM
Amazing what ten phone calls per day can do for your business! Here in College Station, TX I have a great broker that challenged me to make ten phone calls per day, and that if I do that, I will have all the business that I want.
I just got though calling a guy back that had called me about a week ago on one of my listings, to see what he thought of the place. He was not too impressed with my "As Is" listing, which was fine because he mentioned that he was interested in another house in Bryan, TX. … (9 comments)
