Some days are just UBER Productive Real Estate Days... Some days you have it, some days you don't. By this I mean Paperwork FOCUS. I was a mean machine today. One by one, I checked things off the list. New DEE Signs? Check, ordered. And no way am I going to complain that I ran out. Renew GoDaddy....

Set up the Goal and Roll Toward it.... Once upon a time, before I was a 25 year Veteran RE/MAX Southern Maryland Realtor, I sold furniture for 10 years at Levitz Furniture in Suitland MD. While there I worked with Ralph. Ralph is still on my Christmas Card mailing list to this day. I believe you ...

March 2 iPAD2... What is a Realtor to DO? This is a no decision for me. If on March 2 they announce the iPAD2 impending arrival, I will do my normal count down to the shipment date and stake out the parking lot for the FEDX or UPS Delivery Truck.

But ...

She has graciously agreed to let me come to her place and do a big batch of puppy photos for my Southern Maryland Real Es...

I've toned down the comments on Active Rain for a few weeks.... I declared a pre Spring Break. A Holiday. A Cease and Desist. A Moratorium. For a few weeks, I have declared WAR on my paperwork. It is working. But part of the plan was to give up the hour or so a day where I crank out a blog, do te...

When it's too cold to walk, hit the BIG Box Stores at night! Excuses, excuses. It's too cold to walk at night in Southern Maryland. OK, I decided to change that thinking so when I have finished with my listing appointment or finsihed showing homes in whatever Southern Maryland area I am in, I fig...

I gave up the paper for a while... But you know, as neat as the online paper subscription concept on the iPAD can be, there is nothing like getting the newspaper delivered. There, it is official. I have said it. I have easily, easily embraced the Kindle concept on my iPAD. I love the immediacy an...

Go ahead, sit at JFK's desk... This article in the Annapolis, MD local paper, The Capital, published around President's Day caught my attention on the spot. Caroline Kennedy has unveiled a virtual JFK desk where you can click on desk items to listen to speeches, conversations and photos of the JF...
