 Mother Nature has been quite busy this year, she's tried to freeze us, flood us and now cook us. In May, when it rained for 3 days and flooded our area we thought it a good thing if it didn't rain again for a good long while.  After experiencing weeks of high 90's and 100+ temps the rain is most...

I like to hold open houses.  One of my own homes sold as a result of an open house visit ... and the very first home I sold was from an open house.  It was a fall Sunday and I was a new agent and holding an open house at another agent's listing.  A good number of people came through and one coupl...
