SIGNALS
The only person who should recognize the traffic lights
at this intersection where I waited for the lights to change is
Kat Palmiotti
Dreams. We all have dreams about what we would like to do, where we want to go, and what we would like to accomplish. On the day this photo was taken, I just left my hotel and was heading home waiting for the lights to change. The sun rose to meet me and the red lights signaled that waiting patiently is an opportunity to stop and think carefully.
Change. It is just a matter of time when we can … (25 comments)

Waiting for new Active Listings when inventory is low may require patience but waiting because you want to sleep on it before making a decision to make an offer may be … (32 comments)

- 06/24/19 06:51 PM
Inspirational thoughts for 6/24/19
by Patricia Feager
After the 4th stormy weekend, I gave thanks for being safe. While I was in Fort Worth I noticed the most unusual bird that seemed to come out of nowhere. Dressed in purple, black, and white feathers with the color blue around the eyes I stood in wonder looking at this most beautiful creature that soars through the air and accepts whatever challenges come his or her way!
Something I love to do is visit Art Museums. The Kimble Museum in Fort Worth is my personal favorite. I have noticed that in many ancients works of art … (10 comments)

Inspirational Thoughts for 11/16/18
by Patricia Feager
"With all this talk of Going Green, Buying Green,
Living Green, and Green being the New Whatever,
I've come to realize that, although we had no Green,
my Grandmother was actually the "Greenest"
Person I've ever known."
---Joy Bryant
(Or was it Grandpa and/or the Neighborhood Grease Monkey?)
When I saw this product on the shelf in the Soap aisle, "Charlies Soap" practically jumped out at me! This bottle labeled, "Cleans everything from False Teeth to Diesel Engines," had me curious, how about you? Although tempted to buy, I got more laughs that day picking up random shoppers inside the store and pointing out … (14 comments)

For the November Contest
"Thankfulness," for Debbie Reynolds
Today is my 9th entry for the November Challenge, "What Are you Thankful For?" I am thankful for "The People," who came into my life when I needed them most and didn't even know how much they were needed. Here's a snapshot of what I mean.
This photo was taken last September in Kalispell, Montana. I found myself alone at a coffee shop. There, I could smell the scent of delicious hot coffee and taste it too! I could hear the voices of people, talking about bears and people stories. I saw decor and landscape unique … (9 comments)

Inspirational Thoughts for 10/24/18

EXPECTATIONS
"Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations." Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality." --- Ralph Marston.
PLANTING IN ADVANCE
Chrysanthemums make great fall plants and flowers. Planted in the spring makes great expectations to have something to look forward to in the Fall. When planted at the right time for your zone, the timing of growth is always predictable and pretty accurate.

by Patricia Feager, 7/25/18
While flipping through channels between 2:00 and 3:00 a.m., I noticed different channels all with the same type of show called "Make $$ in Real Estate Locally." This post reflects a continuous interest in the media, different channels, same message, promoting consumer interest in making money in real estate using stars on T.V. to capture a late night audience by using fast talkers who are marketing themselves as experts while talking about how easy it is to become rich if you follow their program. First and foremost, I'm not an advocate for this type of selling real estate … (29 comments)

real estate: Real estate is a Real business about Real people
- 06/15/18 09:36 AM
by Patricia Feager, 6/16/2018
No matter how successful a business appears, success just didn't happen by good looks, good luck, or good fortune. First, there has to be a vision and clear direction. People just down blow out a birthday candle and wish for success, they have to work at becoming successful every single day. Having a plan in place is the foundation for successful opportunities and growth. Creating success doesn't appear with the help of a magic wand. It takes grit and courage.
To be successful you must have good experiences, build great relationships, have education and continuously invest in people, new technology, … (26 comments)

For AR Contest Love Is In the Air - Lisa Von Domek
There are real estate transactions you remember, ones you forget, and rare ones that you can never forget. This is the story of love and how my business relationship evolved with one couple.
In the Beginning
It all began with a listing before TEXT messaging. An Agent called wanting to show but wasn't familiar with Flower Mound. She asked me if I would show my listing to her clients. I agreed; however, the problem is it was one of those spring thunderstorms that would make most people hide indoors. The prospective … (23 comments)

by Patricia Feager, 9/1/2017
The days between 8/21 through 8/25 (Solar Eclipse, Hurricane Harvey), and the days that followed have been quite extraordinary and anything but ordinary. In addition to the National news I have spent quite a bit of time at doctor appointments and taking care of business. Like current events and business, there's always something to learn. Ordinary and extraordinary circumstances makes all the difference.
Doctor #1 - An ordinary doctor, operates in routine fashion. #1 is the Doctor; I am the impatient patient. Nothing personal, doctor is simply ordinary.
Doctor #2 - Extraordinary; anything but ordinary. Here are examples of what … (7 comments)

real estate: The Most Important Aspect of a Real Estate Transaction
- 06/17/17 08:52 AM
by Patricia Feager, 6/17/2017
F&Q - Part 5 of 5
What is the most important aspect of a Real Estate Transaction?
Communication is the most important aspect of purchasing a home. Our brains are lateralized and depending on whether a person is left brain or right brain, humans process information in different ways. The ability to remember what we see, hear, read, and write is critical to achieving success. Effective communication is necessary to feel comfortable.
Effective communication is a skill that takes practice to comprehend words, understand meaning, talk back with cogency, intelligence, and express feeling. Language has been evolving before we were even … (43 comments)

Brands I have come to know, like, and trust outside of the Real Estate Industry and how they have shaped the way I think about my own Real Estate business.
EVEREADY BATTERIES - AN AMERICAN MADE PRODUCT
Invention and innovation have played an important role in the lives of consumers. My perception on consumer products was shaped by personal life experiences, my parents, and their parents. In 1896, Eveready was the first manufacturer to develop dry cell batteries. They reinvented themselves in the late 1950's when they introduced alkaline technology. I was part of the first generation that experienced portable power. Transistor radios … (24 comments)
