ginger harper: American National Parks by Ken Burns - 01/22/11 03:08 AM
American National Parks by Ken Burns Recently we  watched a documentary of American  National  Parks by Ken  Burns.  What a great program.
If you are interested in National Parks of our Country...many of the Public Broadcasting  Stations are re-running this series by Ken Burns
I am excited with the photography and history of them.
It looks very interesting right now.  If you get a chance to enjoy this program, it is well worth it.
Treasure trove of our Natural Resourses..

ginger harper: Friends from the past - 01/19/11 03:22 AM

I would like to touch base with the school chums from the 1960's. 
It has been a long time since we touched base and I would like to renew these old
acquaintances.
I think continuing to have class reunions is important.  These were the friends of our youth.

Much has happened in Tar Heel since I left in 1966.  I suppose that everything does change, including
us.

ginger harper: Short Sale Problems - 01/19/11 03:17 AM
Have you ever had short sale nightmares...
Think of al the things that can go wrong.
1.  Seller declaring Bankruptcy with out telling you.
2.  Sellers seperated and getting a divorce
3.  A 2nd of the property that you did not know about
4.  Sellers with no money at all.
5.  Utilites cut off
6.  Furniture and Food left in house (no electricity)
7.  Bankruptcy Attorney working with one of the sellers....Closing Attorney with the other seller.
8.  Closing Secretary..out sick with the flu
9.  Buyer having to bring money to the table for the seller..
 
The list goes on … (1 comments)

ginger harper: Home Warranty or Not - 01/19/11 03:06 AM
I have been pondering this question for a while.
We have offered Home Warranties in the past to sellers and to buyers.  I have been wondering about this importance of this.
In thinking it through, I have decided that it is in my best interest to offer it to the seller, but not to push in any way.  Let them make the decision on their own.
We used to get a fee for offering them but in North Carolina, that can not be any more.
Still think it is a good idea, to protect yourself.

ginger harper: Two New Tools - 01/19/11 03:01 AM
Today was our regular sales meeting day.  We had 2 guest speakers telling us about their products. The Newspapers are hurting for lack of advertising and they are now trying to make it more affordable for individual agents to use the papers services. 
Next we had a home warranty company that came in to entice us to use their warranty company with our sales.
Both are valid tools that we can use and I plan to do just that.

ginger harper: SeaNotes - 01/17/11 02:23 PM
Today was my first practice for SeaNotes.  Our choral singing group in Brunswick County. We have a great director who is bringing to us music of my youth. It is such fun to sing these songs and when I can remember them I will let you know.
Singing brings a new dimension to my life.  I need that sometime.  Being a Realtor for 28 years has added a few white hairs to my head.
 
LIfe is good and I am so Thankful for God's Gifts to me

ginger harper: Jewels for Marissa - 01/16/11 10:39 AM
Marissa, our 2 year old granddaughter, loves Jewelery.  I decided to collect jewelery from the flee markets and put in a box for her to enjoy.  Many of my friends, learned what I was doing and started bringing me bracelets,  necklaces, rings and earrings for her to enjoy.  WE put these treasures in a Caboodle Box that the arranges carefully.  When I bring new thing home, I will put them in her box.  She then goes through the box and pulls out the new things that have been added...and makes much other them.
It is a fun thing to do with … (4 comments)

ginger harper: Sunny Sunday - 01/16/11 10:31 AM
And it is about time.
For the past 3 weeks, we have had either snow, sleet, ice or rain.  Today has been a glorious Sunday with a warm temperature.  It was a Day to go to Church, come home and have a delicious dinner and then to just visit with each other in the afternoon.
It is what memories are built with.  I do hope that our grandchildren will look back on their childhood, remembering family days on Sunday with others in the family and friends.
Hope you had a Sunny Day too...

ginger harper: Great Saturday - 01/15/11 10:42 AM
Today has been a wonderful day today.  Jimmy and I worked hard at the beginning of the day...but after then, we decided to do some of the things that we our selves wanted to do.
It ended up that we cleaned out the garage, put the jars away, checked out the cedar tree that the grandchildren planted New Years Day. This was such a delightful day.
No pressure...Just fun..

ginger harper: New Printer today.. - 01/14/11 08:55 AM
I have a delightful HP printer that was an All-In-One.  It did everything that I needed to have done.  It was great.  Well, last week, it decided that it was going to jam every time I tried to print something.  Do you realize how annoying that can be. 
Therefore, I bit the bullet and got a new HP Office jet Pro 8400A Plus.  Wireless.  All there of our computers can print on this One computer...wireless.
I am so excited and and tickled pink.

ginger harper: Snowed out for 2 days - 01/11/11 01:50 PM
Well....today is 1-11-11 and we were snowed out again in the office.  Well not really.  Our temperatures have hovered around the 32 degree mark and it was drizzling.  Guess what we have to understand it that when it drizzles and the temperature is 32 degrees....the bridges freeze over and driving can be treacherous.  So many did not venture out into the snow.  I did...because I find that I work better in an empty office.
Hope that you have been safe and had a good couple of days.

ginger harper: How do you get to have a featured post? - 01/09/11 11:02 AM
I am stilll trying to be successful with AR and try new things a lot.
I see where some of our folks get to have a featured post.  Is that measured from the content of the post, or the number of hits or what?
I read them and think that they had written an exceptional post and enjoy them.
Any hints or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Just wondering.

ginger harper: How does one get Linking points in the system? - 01/09/11 10:53 AM
Hi All!
I am still a newbie and wondering how to get Linking points in the system.  I have worked on this for an
hour or so with no success.  I do not understan what a tag is either.  Tags are not key words.
I know that some of you are laughing at this old dog learning new tricks.  But at least I am
willing to learn.
 
With warm regards,

ginger harper: Shooting of Gabby Giffords. - 01/08/11 02:42 PM
This was such a tragic event that happened in our Country today.  I do not know much of Gabby Giffords but I do know that she did not need to be shot down with a gun for her beliefs.  I do not know her platform, I do not know of her beliefs, I do not know what she has accomplished,but I do know that this was the wrong way to express ones feelings about our social well-being.
Hope that she does survive and doing well

ginger harper: Do YOU like to sell Condos? - 01/07/11 02:32 PM
I have been in this business for 27 years and condos are an area that I enjoy the most.  I am challenged by the different communities and in finding the details that are needed to be successful in giving the buyer all the information requires to be an owner.
There are about nine condo developments in our area of Oak Island.
Would love to learn any ideas that work for you.
With warm regards,
