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.

Water is essential for life.  Without it, everything dies.  But... sometimes it can be a pain in the butt... like when it is in the wrong place in the house... or outside of the house... I have a buyer that is under contract on a beautiful home... or more accurately, a home that could be beautifu...

I have recieved emails this morning from the NAR and from my local association regarding the $8,000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit.  There is a full court press from the National Association of Realtors as well as the local associations to not only continue, but expand this program.  And there ...

I'm not a "Bug Guy" and I don't play one on TV.  But, as a real estate agent, I get asked about bugs a lot.  More specifically, I get asked about termites... ok, actually about termite damage and termite bonds.  We joke (ok, actually the Bug Guys joke) that here in the south there are homes that ...

A few days ago I wrote about my overwhelming desire to mess with my blog.  I get this from time to time... I just can't help it.  As a hot rodder, I like to tweak things.  When my wife sees a nice car, truck or Jeep, I see a platform to make something cooler.  When she sees a pile of junk, I stil...

Image by vheilman via Flickr I can't believe there is a late model Cadillac on the list...  After all of the wallowing piles of mush from the 70s , the fact that this company built a car that could beat AMG Mercedes and M series BMWs around the Nurburgring is shocking. American cars have come a ...

Maybe...  Maybe not...  Make no mistake, there are some deals in the market.  And combined with the $8000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit (FTHBTC), this can be a great time to buy a first home.  Interest rates have remained low... despite a LOT of predictions to the contrary.  In fact, with a pr...

It isn't just a TV show with Howie Mandel and a bunch of hotties holding briefcases.  It is daily life in real estate...  And one of the issues that buyers face is the Deal or No Deal mindset.  It boils down to this...  Do you want a deal? Many buyers see the news or listen to reports about how m...

I can't help it.  Each year, as summer wanes towards fall, I get the itch to mess with my blog.  I don't know why... I just can't help it.  I like it.  I think it is pretty cool, but I just want to mix it up again.  So, because I know that I am really bad at avoiding the compulsion, I know that I...

Many purists car these car heretical. They were front engined and water-cooled. Not only that, but they weren't even concieved as pure sports cars, but rather as Grand Touring cars. The 924 preceded it by a couple of years, but the Porsche 928 was different... There would be no 928 Carrera... I g...
