multifamily: "Green" Townhome In Tower Grove South Sells!
- 05/07/08 01:41 PM
A new construction townhome (3327 Gustine, 63116) was recorded as "SOLD" in the MLS last week. It's located at the corner of McDonald and Gustine in Tower Grove South, the neighborhood in which I live. This is exciting, as I have been watching the progress on this one since last autumn - it was listed as Pending since September 13, 2007. It was listed at $319,900 and sold for $324,500. The sales had slowed in the neighborhood, so hopefully this will get things moving again...
This was a 6 room, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2 car garage townhome - certified "Green" construction - meaning … (1 comments)

multifamily: CRS Book Advertising Update Time
- 05/07/08 03:41 AM
For all you CRS designation holders out there - I would appreciate your opinions...
I just received the email from the Council of Residential Specialists about updating our profiles and ordering advertising space in the 2009 CRS Membership Freferral Directoryy and Online Directory. I've always just had the standard listing in the book (free), but am considering adding a picture box ($150 and another $100 for the online listing). In the Saint Louis, Missouri Pages of the 2008 CRS Membership Referral Directory, there are 17 Picture listings out of at least 100 listings.
If you have a picture listing in the CRS Referral Directory, do you feel … (2 comments)

multifamily: Today in St Louis - April 23, 2008
- 04/23/08 02:53 PM
It was downright warm today. I broke down and used the air conditioning in the car on the way to an appointment - I didn't want to sweat through my shirt. Don't get me wrong, I love warm weather, but today seemed more like early summer than spring...
This evening before dark I tried to work in the front flower beds for a while, but the mosquitos are already out and were chewing me to pieces - and it's just April. I hoped with the cold winter we had would have killed many of them off, but no such luck. Off to … (1 comments)

multifamily: My Career of Real Estate Sales in St Louis - Tim Tanz, Realtor
- 04/22/08 01:45 PM
I went on a listing appointment this evening, and I knew the seller would have questions about my sales career in real estate; so this afternoon I sat down and compiled a list of all the homes I have sold since I became a Realtor in 1997. I've been wanting to do this for a while, to include in my listing packet; today seemed as good a day as any to work on it. So, here is the list:

multifamily: Today in St Louis - April 21, 2008
- 04/21/08 03:08 PM
This evening we went bike riding over at Horseshoe Lake in Illinois. It's just right across the Mississippi River from St Louis. We're just getting into the biking thing, and I don't really like it when the trails are overcrowded. It was great. We passed people fishing on the lake, but the bike trail wasn't heavily travelled this evening. It's a fairly flat trail, too, so it was a nice ride. We travelled over 10 miles in a little over an hour. My legs weren't as tired as my rear end - and we've got padded seats, too...
The trail we rode on is part of … (1 comments)

- 04/20/08 04:02 AM
Yesterday, Saturday April 19, was a milestone in our lives. We celebrated our anniversary of 17 years together. I know many people don't want to hear about it - a gay couple celebrating their anniversary - but I am proud that Dennis and I have made it this long. And part of blogging is letting others know what is going on in our lives... We have made it longer than any of the "straight" marriages of any of our siblings. It hasn't always been easy either, we struggle at times like any other couple, but we're still here. We like to … (17 comments)

The dreaded tax day has come and gone. I find it interesting that some people (like me) worry about getting everything turned in on time and paying what's owed while others don't file at all. I had a closing last week with a buyer who hadn't filed his last three years of taxes. In order to close on the deal, he had to cash out stock and pay cash for the home. He couldn't understand why he couldn't get a loan, and he wasn't willing to get his taxes completed. I guess his capital gains penalty wasn't as much as the … (0 comments)
