jeff click: We know coolness when we see it : Introducing the new iPhone version of JeffClickHomes.com
- 08/17/08 09:14 AM
There was a time when being an Apple user meant also being an outcast...someone looked down upon by those who were among the PC-using masses. "Oh, sure, they're good for graphics," they'd say, looking down their noses, often through black, thick-rimmed glasses as they snorted and nearly hyperventilated with that trademark laugh of the early geek-era. I'm a proud survivor of that geek-bullying, and I'm proud to say I've been an Apple fan boy before it was cool to be one, and I have proof. I started my software company from my dorm room my freshman year at OBU, and I … (0 comments)

jeff click: It's Time For Some Remedy : The Oklahoma City housing market has a fever, but there is a cure.
- 04/18/08 01:51 AM
I think the Oklahoma City housing market has a fever. Unfortunately, the cure ain't "more cowbell." However, a good ol' fashioned spoonful of truth would do the trick. I'm one of those builders who likes to spend quite a bit of time in his furnished model home. So much, in fact, I office there on weekdays, and then give my sales staff one weekend off a month so I can cover the model for the weekend. I like keeping track of the vital signs of our market, and the best way to do that is to talk face to face with … (0 comments)
jeff click: COHBA Launches DefyTheTrends.com : Don't let the national media scare you out of the smartest move you can make.
- 04/17/08 04:01 AM
With all the negative hype in the media about housing values falling around the country, it's no wonder many are skeptical about whether or not now is a good time to buy a new home. The fact is, in Oklahoma, the timing to buy a new home really has never been better. The Oklahoma City Metro is among the few markets in the country still enjoying consistent gains in home values, and mortgage rates are at near all time lows. Combine those factors with our strong job growth, a strong local economy, and low cost of living, and it's obvious that … (0 comments)
jeff click: Oh, So You're The Builder? : The things a builder learns while manning his own model home
- 01/13/08 09:37 AM
I'm hearing more and more about how uncommon it is, which surprises me. And while I know I'm probably tipping off my competitors who frequent this blog (trust me, we know), it actually disappoints me. "Oh, so you're the builder?!" Shoppers are shocked to be greeted by "the builder" when they walk into a model home. The actual builder. Yes, the real, live owner of the company. It seems like a no-brainer to me, especially when my name's on the sign, that it's not unreasonable for a visitor to expect to have a chance at getting to meet the builder...the one … (6 comments)

On Friday evening, the Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association celebrated its final Christmas Banquet and Officer Installation at our building of over 40 years, closing an era at The Regal Room. It was a grand event, with friend, fellow builder, and 2007 President Caleb McCaleb awarded with "Builder Of the Year," and Jim McWhirter of Gemini Homes installed as the 2008 President. I was installed as Vice President, while Mark Dale of Carriage Homes was installed as Treasurer, and Jim Schuff of Vesta Homes was moved into the Secretary position. As this year's Vice President, I look forward to serving as … (0 comments)
jeff click: Pouring & Snoring: Pt 2. Of Rain & Construction Processes
- 06/27/07 10:16 AM
I do my best to maintain a tight relationship with God. While membership does have its obvious privileges, including the occasional burning bush and moving a mountain here or there, unfortunately things don't always happen on our terms or time-line even under His favor. God, with this weather lately, I sure could use that staff and whatever else you gave Moses to part that Red Sea... I'd hoped that soon after my previous post, I'd be able to follow up with this second half knowing as I typed in my office that outside on job sites, bricks would be stacking and … (0 comments)
jeff click: Rain, Rain, Go Away! Pt. 1 Of Rain & Construction Processes
- 06/27/07 12:52 AM
Our little two year old has learned two new songs over the past several weeks: "Rain, Rain, Go Away!" and "It's Raining, It's Pouring...". Her cheerful recitations of those songs are about the only thing that's brought a smile to my face when it comes to the weather lately. The most common question I'm answering right now is "Does this rain slow you down at all in the building business?" At this point, that question seems about as rhetorical as "How 'bout this weather?" The answer is undoubtedly, "Yes, it slows us down." It's almost mind-boggling how many ways it affects … (1 comments)
