World wide eyes will be on the Royal Wedding later today. I'll maybe tune in for a brief moment. However a lot of "eyes" from Tucson will be glued to the TV coverage of the launch of the Shuttle Endeavor, as the Commander of the shuttle is Mark Kelly, husband of our beloved Congresswoman Gabriell...

"We All Love Referrals" is the point Karen Fiddler makes in this blog. I reblogged it to get more exposure to this particular blog, because this is a really important subject. I love referrals and i try REALLY HARD to take super care of the buyers (all my clients are buyers) so the buyers AND the...

"Some Realtor Jobs Are Fun" and some not so much. Cheryl shares with us both the fun and the not so much. And she, just like I would do, puts the paperwork at the very bottom.

"Make Sure Your Cell Phone Is Off"...Good tip. Also be sure you don't "butt dial" YOUR phone either.

Do the agents interviewing a desperate seller for getting a short sale listing make this desperate person aware of the "other side" of a short sale? I refer to the many pitfalls and delays thr...

Gene's post about a certain type of Identity Theft just crys out for a repost. This actually (family members) goes on a lot. And it can be ANY relative doing the dirty deed. I had a lovely older couple buying a house, and when the credit was run, the credit check showed a charge off against the b...

I'm reblogging Mimi's recent post about "The Unrepresented Seller". Remember now, I never take listings and am not looking to start now. I sort of like to find a FSBO to deal with for one of my buyers. Gee, I have 15 years experience doing this. I wonder why I would like that particular situation...
