  This inspired me this week, maybe it will pump you up for this spring market as well, there is something special about the classics:       “IF” by Rudyard Kipling       “If you can keep your head when all about you   Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;   If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,   And make allowance for their doubting too;   If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,   Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,   Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,   And yet don’t look too good, nor talk to wise;       If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;   If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;   If you can meet with triumph or disaster   And treat these two imposters just the same;   If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken   Twiste... 03/12/2015

   You Are The Heroes!  “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never tasted victory or defeat.”-Theodore Roosevelt   As I busted it this week taking calls, making calls, fixing credit…I was stunned at the overall negativity amongst most.  I must admit, one of those days I got down myself as the sheer vastness of everyon... 03/09/2015

“Red Door for this New London, Ct. Home” My wife and I have been flipping homes since the mid 70’s. Not something we have ever taken any seminars to do, but we know how to do them right. One thing that has always been a signature for us, is color. We never do off white or plain colors of any kind. Especially the front and back doors. The home that we just competed in New London and is now on deposit has beautiful red doors in the front and back. We actually use the same red as a trim, including the front deck. We don’t stop there we use a lot of color on the interior. The home has to "wow" prospective home buyers, otherwise the home will probably sit on the market. Priced right, looks great means quick deposits. We have used every color described in the article below, without really und... 06/28/2012
