Luckily I have wi-fi, and can get online from the garage. If given a choice, that is where I am. Between MLS searches, arranging marketing, and pre-viewing homes, I will try to get in a little welder time, or at least clean some of the tools from the last wrenching session.

Well... I have a few ideas.  I already have a pretty full schedule of social networking events... and so now I get to add Active|Rain activities to it... and I'm really excited about that.  Actually, as soon as the training call that I missed comes online, I am going to listen to that, but I stil...

I guess someone at the Gwinnett Business Journal thought that you might be...  and they came up with a list of 101 Things You Gotta Do.  I was familiar with a number of them, but there are a lot that I hadn't thought of...  and some others jogged my memory about things I have done, as well as th...

I had a buyer call me recently.  He wanted info on a property I had listed.  It wasn't what he was looking for, so I asked what he was trying to find...  Reluctantly, he shared a little with me.  I knew of another property that was listed with another agent.  I told him I would be happy to show i...

It is one of my favorite colors...  British Racing Green.  But why is it British Racing Green.  Why isn't it just "Racing Green"?  Back in the early days of auto racing, in fact around 100 years ago, teams were often divided by nationality.  And the nations chose their colors.  Some had a relatio...

Shocking? Sure, but let's think about this.  The guys at Top Gear did a comparison... both cars were driven the same way.  And the BMW M3 did deliver better mileage than the Toyota Prius. The way they tested was to drive the Toyota as fast around the track as it would go, and then match the speed...

If you aren't you should be...  It is simply a better browser...  I know, I know.  Your MLS doesn't work on it, and the franchise you are part of doesn't support it.  Well... there are two points you need to know.  There isn't a reason in the world you can't have two (or more) browsers installed ...

Times are rough... they are rough for many of us... especially in the real estate industry.  We are finding our belts and sucking them in a few notches...  But not just in the real estate industry.  Last night I was talking with some friends that are in the business of state and local government....

So, you don't like the media?  Do you think that they are a bunch of sensationalistic moonbats that don't have any "real news", just a bunch of meaningless crap about Michael Jackson's funeral, car chases and the newest reason that everyone is going to die from cancer?  Do you wonder why it is na...

  Image via Wikipedia I just got an email from the production company that does House Hunters for HGTV.  They are calling for buyers that are ready to buy.  The specific quote is "in the late stages of buying."  I would assume that would mean that they are looking for people that know what they w...

Probably not... But that doesn't mean that people aren't trying it... and it doesn't mean that people aren't getting in trouble for it. Here is the way it works (and it all sounds so legit...): Mr. and Mrs. Consumer buy a house and get a mortgage from MonsterMegaMortgageCompany (MMMC). MMMC sells...
