Let Me Take You Down To The Chesapeake Bay Bridge TunnelMy first time I ever road on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel I was in my early 50s.  I made the trip by myself.  To say the least it was like an outer body experience. I was going over with a buyer to view property.  I kept my cool so my buyer never knew I was white knuckle to whole time over and back.  What might be a scary trip for some is thrilling for others when it comes to crossing nearly 20 miles of this bridge and tunnel system.If you’ve never had to cross the Chesapeake Bay from the Delmarva Peninsula to the Eastern Shore of Virginia, then you probably wouldn’t know about the Chesapeake Bay-Bridge Tunnel. In this quiet, unsuspecting southern location, there’s a bridge that spans from one piece of land to the other, coveri... 06/30/2022

It’s been a fabulous 19 years since my owners purchased this David Weekly popular “Overbrook" plan.” They loved the corner .22-acre lot, 3 car tandem garage and downstairs primary bedroom and bath.    Turning over the keys to a family moving from Dallas was a joy! The buyers fell in love with this light filled, open layout, vaulted ceiling in the family room and the extended patio perfect to relax with family and friends.    This young family said they want to raise their little ones and stay in this house another 19 years just like the seller.

Can never go wrong with see Grant Schneider great blog again. “Salesperson wanted – No experience necessary” How many times do we see that? I contend not very often. Employers and hiring managers make a big mistake when they use experience as the primary criteria for hiring a candidate. Looking primarily for experience will produce disappointing results.

I have seen on thread running through all these organizations. That is that those running the business believe that their industry is different from others, so unique that the primary requirement is experience. Because of that mindset I have seen many bad candidates hired and many qualified candidates... 06/30/2022
