mark don mcinnes: Sandpoint Realty 'Friday Flag' - January 19, 2024 - 01/20/24 12:06 AM
Sandpoint Realty 'Friday Flag' shows a bit of relief from this past week of brutal cold weather along with snow.
While the window of a bit of sunshine was brief it was the turning point for our low temperatures.  The Sandpoint Idaho temps are forecasted to climb back up to high 30's as quickly as they dropped to the subzero.  And that change is starting tomorrow.
Are you looking for a Realtor familiar with the possible storms and knows how to keep you safe during your Real Estate transaction?  Contact me, I would enjoy introducing myself and Sandpoint Realty.

Sandpoint Realty 'Thursday Thought' brings to our attention that we are only as good as the questions we ask.
With but a small twist this question now puts anyone at ease in creatively critisizing.  Being honest because they are invited to do so.

mark don mcinnes: 'Perception vs Reality' - January 2024 North Idaho - 01/17/24 01:33 PM
All of North Idaho, including Sandpoint Idaho, experienced a record breaking cold snap over the past few days.  Within 48 hours temperatures dropped from the 30 plus degrees shown below to negative 20 to 30 degrees not taking into account wind chill.
January 10, 2024 - 7pm 
Below picture shows North Idaho temperatures rapidly dropping and shortly there after was showing negative 20's and 30's, depending on your area.

Subzero temps night and day became very challenging for an area previously concerned with single digit temps.  Finally, as below pic denotes temps began warming.

Sandpoint Realty 'Monday Motivation' is obviously in honor of Martin Luther King.
While visiting Memphis Tennessee and walking through the Lorraine Hotel, where Martin Luther King Museum/ Memorial stand, I have to say, without getting on the podium...  
I was so embarrassed to be part of a race, human, that can be so ugly and vicious.

Sandpoint Realty 'Friday Flag' holds with showing off the snow a bit more and the Stars & Stripes so well highlighted in doing so.
This photo holding with the promise to show more flags with the snow during these North Idaho winter months.  Ironically today also marks us dropping approximately 45 degrees in past 36 hours.
With sunset this evening we are forecasted to drop approximately another 10 bringing temps to an unheard of minus 20 for North Idaho. 
New comers as well as locals need take extra cautions with these type of temps and snow on the ground.  Very dangerous conditions to … (9 comments)

Sandpoint Realty 'Thursday Thought' comes two fold this week.  Both sides of the sword so to speak.
With the first major storm hitting North Idaho I thought both sides of winter fitting.  The scales are always kept pretty even, with one side always seemingly keeping the other in balance.

mark don mcinnes: Sandpoint Realty 'Monday Motivation' - January 8, 2024 - 01/08/24 09:42 AM
Sandpoint Realty 'Monday Motivation' brings to point a well known fact, but too often ignored.
With the Holiday's officially behind us and soon to be but a pleasent memory, I thought this appropriate for today. 
Most of us admit to the fact, whether our own or others, that most New Year's resolutions go by the wayside before even February arrives.  
What I was not aware of is just how staggering the failure rate is.  91% of New Year's promises, and goals, made, to ourselves, fail.  Would you jump out of a plane with someone handing you a parachute and telling you there was … (12 comments)

1st Sandpoint Realty 'Friday Flag' for 2024 probably expresses how many of us feel heading into this New Year...lol.
While I am exaggerating about the Jitterz as we head into 2024, I am sure that we are all watching closely as to how important issues will fold out this year.  Election year and current litigations not being the least of those issues. 
Sandpoint Idaho, in fact all North Idaho, does not lack for its coffee shops, or huts.  I am talking dozens in Sandpoint Idaho, and the immediate surrounding area.
This particular 'Jitterz' is dangerously nearby to my office.  I am talking quick … (12 comments)

Sandpoint Realty 'Friday Flag' comes late this week, yet one I very specifically took the photo for the week ending December 29,  2023.
As you can see this weeks Friday Flag is also the final 'Friday Flag' for 2023.  Coeur D' Alene Resort proudly displays our flag year round and we have enjoyed a few different shots as the seasons pass.  
On this particular Holiday evening you can see there was not even a whisp of a breeze.  Virtually no snow on the ground, due to such a mild winter for us so far.  Yet as always the 'Stars and Stripes' show themselves … (7 comments)

North Idaho offers so much to enjoy, not only in the landscape but all that surrounds us daily. 
These bad boys came over to take a closer look as I was on my way to a listing appointment in Priest River Idaho.  Glad they found the barbed wire fence suffiecent in dividing us.  Those darn stares still a bit intimidating.

Sandpoint Realty 'Monday Motivation'.  A reality check for all of us I am sure.
With the passing of the years I have come to the realization the list will never grow shorter, and most likely longer.  The best I can hope for, is that the list is not repeated from the previous year.

Sandpoint Realty 'Friday Flag' shows itself quite well this week on Main Street across from one of my other favorite USA Flags.
The Holidays are celebrated at Coeur D' Alene Idaho Resort with an abundance of lights and decor.  Very special.  Joining that is main street lights which is where I found this flag flying and showing itself quite nicely amonst all the lights.  
Thank you Coeur D'Alene Business for proudly flying our Stars and Stripes for all to enjoy while strolling the lovely sidewalks and storefronts. 
Trusting all are enjoying your Holiday Season and all the warmth and special activities that go along.

Sandpoint Realty 'Monday Motivation' leans more  towards the ongoing rather than a finish.  As we near the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024 think twice on the importance of wanting to disregard all of the mistakes and trials of our year past.  

 
     In browsing quotes for change or new beginnings I found it interesting how many wanted yesterday's mistakes and trials to be erased by starting over. 
     As with climbing references to reach our goals I feel a goal reached should be but a plateau, not a final peak, that we can then see beyond to … (12 comments)

Sandpoint Reatly 'Monday Motivation' while true in and of itself, needs be adjusted a bit, in my opinion.
This quote is true to both men and women and they need not be 'great'.  The common person, often unnoticed, fights adversity as well, just not noticed by as many.
I remember a 'River Rafting Trip' from many decades back.  Our guides promised us a special extra, to the trip, if we were interested in a bit of a hike and a little climbing.  A small group of us went.  
As we were making our way up the hill, ridges, on what was anything but a … (15 comments)

Sandpoint Realty 'Friday Flag' comes from one of my favorite spots to see 'Ole Glory' flying.  Bonners Ferry Memorial Park just off Highway 95, for both locals and visitors to see as driving north or south across Kootenai River.
In searching files for this week's 'Friday Flag' I realized I was lacking in snow pic flags.  I have leaned towards the sky mainly because of the contrast of the our colors against the dark grays of an ominous sky.  
The USA Flag with the white snow in the background is no less brilliant so I will concentrate on getting us some more pics … (9 comments)

Sandpoint Realty 'Thursday Thought' helps finish off November and Thanksgiving.  
To this I believe we can all agree 'Grateful and Appreciate' should be added.  Trusting all had a special Thanksgiving, and are enjoying officially being into the Holiday Season.

Sandpoint Realty 'Monday Motivation' should help in getting us started before the 1st of the New Year.  A well worth while 'head start'.
While January 1, 2024 is nearing quickly, along with the bucket of New Year's Resolutions, would it not be nice to have already started on a couple of big changes that we know will impact our lives to the positive side?

Sandpoint Realty 'Monday Motivation' may help with the season we are moving into.  
We all look forward to the Holidays.  We also know the Holidays can add much stress and anxiousness.  Just keep moving and enjoy the moment along with the warmth of the season.  This goes for business and personal.

Sandpoint Realty 'Friday Flag' is shown outside recently opened restaurant in Sandpoint Idaho at Boyer and Highway 2.
 
While it may not seem crowded for having just opened it is near sunset and just below freezing.  Pulled BBQ'd pork being a specialty at their buffet style restaurant.  And of course after taking the pictures I felt obligated to order some takeout of Mac & Cheese with their homemade 'spicy' sausage links. 
Thank you Sandpoint Idaho business for proudly flying our 'Stars and Stripes' for locals and visitors to enjoy.  
I might add this business started as a food truck and grew to this location.  … (10 comments)

Sandpoint Realty 'Thursday Thought' may seem a bit cynical at first glance...
I have asked our office to really be honest with themselves about how many 'friends' they can truly trust with their lives?  How many are truly there in time of need, or when we need support, not advice?  
Personally I can count on one hand mine, and have change left.  The point I am making to the office is to treat every transaction, and interactions, with the utmost professionalism.  Do not let details slide because of a feeling of friendship having grown with clients.
If you do not leave yourself susceptible and … (8 comments)
