I just have to re-blog Cindy's post. Once she got on a roll here, describing one bizarre action after another, it just became more and more funny. If I didn't know better I would suspect a prank afoot. Maybe this is an amalgam of all the goofy things she has seen recently?Now most of the time a l...

Important topic. Frequently noise can become a big issue. There are homes around here that the government has stepped in and tried to help "sound proof" the houses. They were close to the airport. Airplane noise. Imagine. Of course the airport was there before these homes were sold or resold. Som...

A very important and timely posting. How to keep a bad event from being even more devastating. That is one heck of a blog. Very well illustrated and written. And makes your point strongly.

Michelle has some great business related blogs, which I enjoy re-blogging. This subject matter is completely different than most of Michelle's but is so interesting I think it warrants a re-blog. Like she says, all of us have heard of "Doubting Thomas" but I promise you I had no idea about "the r...

Michelle has a good topic covered here in this blog post. I know I am admittedly very bad in this area, and there are bound to be one or two other agents that are guilty of this as well. Here's a reminder. For my New Years resolution I will do better in this area for 2011. I think I will make a "...

Zenyatta just named 2010 Horse Of The Year Zenyatta was sired by Street Cry, who also sired in the same crop 2007 Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense. Really great bloodlines. Yes, I know, she's a horse, not a house. If she was a house, she'd be worth about $7,304,580, which are her lifetime winni...

I just saw the nicest and kind act, as a side piece on CNN Anderson Cooper’s show. A sweet little 8 year old girl was chosen to sing the Star Spangled Banner before the start of a local hockey game in Northern Virginia last week. She started out fine, but part of the way through the song, her m...

As usual, another of Todd's great and well written postings. And like virtually all of us, we have called the listing agent, as per MLS comments, to get this exact same guy (or his twin) on the line, saying the same thing, in one form or the other. Geez, that gets old. I don’t mind calling before...
