WOOOOO HOOOOO to me. I zipped right by 50,000 points today.  I know we shouldn't pat ourselves on the back for points, but to me this is quite a accomplishment. When I first signed up to the Rain, that's all I did.  I signed up and quickly forgot about it.  Almost 5 months passed before I actuall...

I'm always looking for that special Closing Day Gift.  You just never really know what to give.  I found something that will definitely appeal to just about any new home owner.  Of course this will only work with a really nice looking house.  This is not the gift to give the investor who bought ...

HOLY MOLY!!! Look who's number 100 in Florida.   I've been watching my points accumulate and planned on doing a whoopie to me when I hit 50,000.  Not too far off for that, but I couldn't help but notice that today I hit the big 100 in the whole state of Florida.  Considering there are a total of...

I received a call from one of me sellers last week complaining that the agent didn't show the property. Here's how it went down.  We received a call for a showing on the property, called the seller and made the appointment.  The seller and his sick wife, tidied the house up, and gathered up their...

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all The Dad's here in the Rain a very Happy Father's Day. As you sit out and enjoy this day with your friends and family, I hope you are building lasting wonderful memories.  All too often we tend to foret the important times of our lives.  Take some...

A couple months ago, I went on a listing appointment.  I was one of four agents he had called, and I was the first to be interviewed.  I felt the owners and I really hit it off well, and the home was lovely.  Because of the declining market, I was having a tough time with pricing the home.  He wa...

I received a flyer of a listing in my email this morning, and couldn't help but want to share a couple of the photos with the group.   I'm not sure what the agent was trying to get across in this listing, but I missed it. Why is the A/C up there on that precarious shelf?  And, why would you spot...

I stumbled upon this quote by Jeffrey Gitomer, and couldn't help but see the need for this to be published as a blog to help inspire others to continue to strive to reach their goals. Obstacles can't stop you. Problems can't stop you. Most of all other people can't stop you. Only you can stop yo...

This is something new to me.  I for some reason thought we were immune to this type of stuff.  But, I guess the spammers can get us no matter how hard we fight em.  Hopefully, the powers that be can track this down and do something about it.   I don't know how well you can see the item, but it's...

I just love floor duty.  They are always full of surprises.  Today was no exception.  Of course, living in a retirement community can make for some very colorful stories of the "Good Old Days". There I was, back in my little corner cubicle sending out e-mails, updating my SOI, and checking on th...
