john l scott: Our brokerage gave to the to St. Lukes Children's Hospital - 12/18/19 05:55 AM
One of the many reasons I joined my new brokerage was the idea that we give back to the community.   When I joined I promised $20 of every commission check to the John L. Scott Foundation.  This year we gave to the St.  Luke's Children's Hospital!
This is a worthy charity that helps sick children stay in Idaho.    They have a special hospital just for children, plus they just built the Elks children's pavilion! Follow this link to donate.
 
In return for our contribution we were given a tour of the brand new pavilion.   This is a series of doctor's offices, a parent's quiet work area, … (4 comments)

john l scott: What are you doing for your clients this holiday? - 12/13/19 07:56 AM
The first thing I always give my clients is good service.  I am sure you do too.  Many of us also give little presents or cards to share with our client base for the holidays. 
 
This year I decided to force bulbs.  It sounded like a great idea but I started to late.   They will be ready in mid January.  Mid winter gifts I guess. 
 
This is what I want.
 
Maybe I should talk to the greenhouse.  
 
I am also sending out Emails to my clients.  I can do cards where I have the addresses.  It would remind them that I … (3 comments)

john l scott: We joined the Boise YMCA - 12/06/19 05:27 AM
I have been feeling stiffer and less mobile this last year.  I had been walking in the foothills but alas I lost my ability. There was no reason I should have I just stopped going there.   I still can walk forever on the flat.  I miss the foothills and my diabetes numbers are getting worse.  The doc is talking about injectible medicines. I have found all medicines have some side effects.  If I don't watch what I eat and exercise I have problems.  Of course I am not alone.  I kept thinking I would get back to it but I haven't.

john l scott: Roofs and other things - 11/20/19 06:21 AM
As a Realtor and property manager I have maintenance.  This allows me to become familiar with good contractors.  I do not know if I hire the best but if I do not like them I do not hire them again.   This seems to be a year of roofs.  Not a happy topic.  
 
My client found a good roofer who was willing to tackle her older homes roof for a reasonable price.  I was impressed with the work and the diligence that he showed when placing the roof.  There were all sorts of odd angles and a place where there were 6 layers … (0 comments)

john l scott: I am now an agent at John L. Scott - 11/18/19 07:40 PM
After 14 years with the same agency my broker decided to close up shop.  I was not happy but I have to admit I have become stagnent.   I interviewed at 2 places.  John L. Scott and where my broker set us up at.  The other agency was good and big.  Really really big.    1/8 of the agents in Idaho belong there. 
 
Well I have known the broker at John L Scott for 25 years.  I have great respect for him.  He got all of my really strange real estate questions over the years.   I decided to talk to him too.  I … (6 comments)
