house: Cary NC Real Estate Blog: Saturday Night Special: Rrrrrripped from the headlines! - 01/05/08 09:17 PM
Some people go out and get drunk and tattooed on Saturday night.
I just work on enlightening myself on current events.
With a little help from Yahoo:
From our "No Regrets" file "102 year old heads for New Zealand." Telling words, "When I'm 105 I don't want to be thinking: "I wish I had moved … (2 comments)

house: Cary NC Real Estate, I had a closing today, but I remember the hug from last week... - 11/29/07 11:06 PM
I had a closing today. Great. "Cha-Ching!" Nothing like going to the bank. Especially after a little racking of the nerves, funding style.
We often talk about the value of the services we offer, and how important it is to act as a fiduciary, and how rewarding it is to help folks. All of that … (14 comments)

house: Cary NC Real Estate, "Remove shoes?" My reply: "Please turn up the HEAT!" - 11/19/07 02:45 PM
Sure, I press my clients to remove shoes in a nice clean home, when the Seller makes the request. It is courtesy, and reasonable. And some cultures just do not wear shoes in the house. Respect. I'm all for it.
But we are approaching winter in North Carolina. NC winter is … (12 comments)

How can we claim to be professionals and fiduciaries and then tell our real estate clients to go to the Yellow Pages for venders when we know capable and ethical service providers we can recommend?
I started to respond to Randy Prothero's post on this topic, and got long-winded enough to build a … (13 comments)

house: Cary NC Real Estate, Treo snaps vs. Kodak Photos. Talk on the phone. Take photos with a Camera! - 10/11/07 08:18 PM
Anyone serious about selling their home might like their agent to be a little technically hooked up. I find my Treo 700WX to be priceless. I might even love my Treo. (I even put it on my desk before going to the rest room.)
I like that my Treo has a camera, … (11 comments)

house: Cary NC Real Estate, What a Wonderful World! Satchmo would say, "What a Wonderful Market!" - 10/10/07 08:30 PM
What a Wonderful World!
Louis Armstrong said it with more conviction than about anyone you have ever met. And he had strikes against him from birth, starting with poverty as a birthright.
How does one find that optimism? That positive outlook? That willingness to persevere?
How can you not find it with a … (4 comments)

house: North Carolina Foreclosure Homes: Affordable Housing or Money Pit Nightmare? Or something in between? - 09/14/07 07:17 AM
The message is made clear in "Agent Only" Remarks in the listings. No disclosure is the most common thread.
"Caveat Emptor! We aren't going to tell you much, if anything about the property, but here it is if you want it."
It is NOT my intent to say that ethics are violated here … (14 comments)

house: Wake County, NC, Real Estate: Don't let FIRE steal your dreams! Are you safe? Are you prepared? - 08/22/07 09:51 PM
This home was destroyed by a recent fire.
I went by to visit some nice folks whom I helped buy a home recently in Southern Wake County. On the way in, I saw this sad image two doors down from my clients' new address. When my clients answered the door, I asked them … (9 comments)

house: Foreclosures: False savings for the average buyer - 06/11/07 11:08 PM

"It's almost every day now that we see a [foreclosed] house in awful condition," says Scott Mitchell, president of National Property Inspections, a company that provides home inspections and assessments in … (6 comments)

house: Flip This House!.......Or not? Fantasy TV sets ambitious viewers up for disaster. - 05/29/07 07:37 AM
I have continuous opportunities to visit with folks who want to buy homes, do repairs, and sell them for a nice profit in a brief period of time. It is a common ambition now, with the popularity of television shows that show the process as a psycho-drama, with cigar puffing "investors" who strut around preening … (7 comments)
