I've been blogging away on activerain for over a year now. I've met some people that I really like. Comments on my blog have gone from zilch to a few and I love them all. Some people accuse real estate agents of putting pictures on their cards that are years and years old. No one ever accuses

Another REO property came in for me to go take care of. It's a 1959 built house with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. That's because someone added on in 1979 and added a second bath to what was originally 1.5 baths. Anyway, to get the power turned on, the power company says have all the breakers in O

I once had a listing that I ended up owning. That is unusual and this particular house was not one that you'd want to own. It was an old farm house type with high ceilings, wood floors, large double-hung windows, ramshackle doors and on the edge of town surrounded by big trees. To some of you

With Halloween around the corner and little kids and big kids wanting to go out and trick or treat and dress up in fantasy costumes, I'd like to show you this picture done by a child. It bowled me over when it was done. (I'm a former art teacher.) It was great for these reasons, at least in my

Charles Buell sent me this Friendship Ball and I consider it either a true gesture of friendship or another one of his "picking on me" schemes. I met Charles through Activerain along with lots of other fine folks throughout the country. Charles, Home Inspector Supreme, has taught me

Monday was to be my big day. I blogged about it. I was going to quickly early vote and check on foreclosures that were auctioned at 10:00 am. I'd be outa there by 10:15 am. I walked into the lobby and saw a line! A fairly long line of voters and probably 6 or 8 helpers. I decided that since

Our Courthouse is over 100 years old and is still a busy place. At 10:00 a.m. on lots of Mondays foreclosures are done. A person comes from Little Rock or somewhere to read that the house at 111 Address St. is up for auction. He reads the rules of the auction and places his own bid right ther
