sell a home: Bob and Richelle Ward, Realtors Got a Brand New Look - 11/14/09 08:04 AM
Bob and Richelle Ward, Realtors Got a Brand New Look  We have looked the same for many years - in our professional photo at least.  Problem is, we got older and Richelle's hair style changed - nobody recognized her.  When she handed out our business card, the joke became "that's me with red hair and bangs".  People easily recognized Bob and knew he was a local Realtor.
So, here are our professional photos.  We would love to hear your feedback on them.

sell a home: Riley - The Real Estate Dog - 01/14/09 11:39 PM
Riley, the Real Estate Dog, is a 4 year old Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier (SCWT).  Riley is very friendly and greets everyone with an overly enthusiastic "Hello".  Riley also has loads of energy, and if we can avoid leaving him home all day by himself, we bring Riley along to real estate.  Riley is great for real estate!  His outgoing personality wins people over almost immediately.  Guess you could say that Riley is "people-friendly".
Yesterday, Riley was very busy.  We left our home at 9:45 am to meet our clients at 10:00 am.  We had already set up the day's appointments (surprisingly, all were vacant) and … (1 comments)

sell a home: Marriage, Divorce and Buying a Home - 12/23/08 09:14 AM
When Bob and I first started our real estate careers, older Realtors in our office gave us loads of advice.  The one piece of advice that sticks in both our minds is about the three most stressful things in life:
Getting Married Getting a Divorce Buying a House I've always thought there was quite a bit of truth to this as I have personally experienced #1 and #3.  The stress of getting everything perfect and not forgetting someone or something when we got married just about put me over the edge.  I remember when I had to order the flowers with my raging fever and ear infection, I … (1 comments)
