I am a list person. I always make lists of things to do, so that I can thoroughly and methodically check things off one at a time.  So I thought I'd make a list of things do before listing your home for sale.  Believe it or not, people are still buying and selling homes in this market. 1. Begin t...

I love playing pool with my 12 year old. He and I play a good bit and he's getting pretty good. We played this earlier this morning and he had "run the table" and I had 6 balls on the table plus the 8 ball. I went on a little run of my own and ended up winning the game. I know some may think that...

I love the two minute warning in the NFL. It tells both teams that the half or game is about to be over. It seems that they step it up and pull out tons of ideas to try to win the game.

I'm sort of excited about tubing down the river today with my family. Our church hosts a trip each year to get families to enjoy a relaxing day together.  As I anticipate that trip, I've come to some conclusions about what to expect. First the water will be cold. It's September and this river is ...

I'm doing an introduction to Social Media for my office later this morning. I'm introducing Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Linked In & Active Rain.  I was wondering what most REALTORS use most frequently. I've been a user of all of the above for quite a while and I need to think like a newcomer who'...

I've often heard that the customer must come first. I must say that I disagree. I believe my family should come before my customers, clients or anyone else.  I'm not trying to make excuses or be noted as a slacker when it comes to customer service. In fact if my customers are around me for very l...

I wrote a note earlier this morning about the irony of celebrating LABOR (work) Day by resting. That is exactly how I plan to spend my day - resting.  I think that I am way more effective as a worker/leader when I take time to rest.  I mean if God rested after 6 days of creating the world - I thi...

I recently spoke with a good friend who lives in a nice estate subdivision and actually bought one of the first lots in the new neighborhood. As part of the contract, he requested that an old barn on the property be allowed to stay on the property. The neighborhood was purchased by a developer to...

I grew up in a large family - five kids and two parents. My parents have been together for more than 50years!  They were both part of 8 siblings each in their family - needless to say - I have lots of family!  Now I'm grown and have 4 children and 1 on the way from Nicaragua!  I absolutely love m...

My wife and I started working on this about two years ago. We were staring over a big cliff wondering if were going to fall over it. It was at that point of desperation that we realized we must get figure a way out of this mess.  At one point she asked the question, "What are we going to do?"  I ...
