- 10/13/10 09:32 AM
There are certain Warning Signs of Fraud, that can tip you off BEFORE you become a victim... 1.) Does it sound too good to be true? (Offers on Craigslist for example...) 2.) Pressures you to act "right away." (A valid offer or service will not strong-arm you to act right away.) 3.) Guarantees success. (Does anything truely come without risk?) 4.) Promises unusually high returns... 5.) Requires an upfront investment - even for a "free prize." (Think of a Work-From-Home scam). 6.)

real estate agents: How Do You Set Priorities...?

In our busy world it's so easy to get caught up in the details and forget what's really important. When I feel that happening to me, I pull out this story to remind me to stop - think - and remember what the "rocks" are in my life. Here's a quick story for you; A philosophy professor stood quietly in front of the class, waiting for students to take their seats. When they were ready, he silently took an empty mayonnaise jar from his desk and filled it to the top with rocks, about two inches in diameter. When he was done he asked the students … (4 comments)

- 10/11/09 05:27 AM
Good Morning! It's Sunday October 11th... Brandon's (my husband) birthday today!! Happy Day!! I had an "ahh ha" moment recently and I thought I'd share it with you!

I've heard of lot's of various Broker advertising offers, but never one like this. The 411: We have 6 months to list the home on the market, the home must be in "move-in" condition, qualified for financing, covered by a home Warranty, a home … (0 comments)
