It gives me different emotions when I think of my closing today. It was a Short Sale.  Listed the 1st of August and 3 contracts later we closed today! Not too bad.  The price was a steal and the little bit of work the home needs will only make the numbers more worth it for the buyer.   If seems w...

You know how some people seem to know everything, no matter the topic, and they can rattle the answer off before you've finished the question?  I'm not that person! Don't get me wrong, I do think I'm somewhat of a SME (subject matter expert) in lots of areas.  But I'm not the winner at odd trivia...

Some sellers will leave behind anything!  Some buyers will ask for everything!   Each new transaction can bring all new crazy requests.   Many blogs have been written about the "fill in the blank" that was asked for or that couldn't stay for various reasons.   A few years ago, I sold a home to a ...

Today I fulfilled some of my continuing education credits by attending a Contracts Class.  Basic stuff here so when something stands out it makes the day go by a bit faster.

Dear Santa, I'm writing to point out, what I believe you already know, I've been very nice this year!   I've helped many sellers sell their home, with the least amount of problems, in the shortest amount of time on the market, clearing inspections, and negotiated a win win for all parties. I've h...

I love that age in a child's life when they understand what you are saying but they still don't have the vocabulary to verbally communicate.  Not because I'm an awful person that loves silence but because it brings so many facial expressions as well as hand gestures out of them.  My son, Austin,...

  I snapped this picture on a beautiful autumn morning in St. Cloud, MN. I'm home visiting my family due to the death of my grandma.  She was 89 years old and just weeks shy of celebrating her 70th wedding anniversary with my grandpa.  They were the total package!  Their support, devotion, and l...
