While most of us have settled into a routine and think we are not very creative BUT the fact is, as Real Estate professionals we are very creative people. Many of us have just had our imagination re-sparked by AI but even before AI we create or recreate a new marketing strategy with every new lis...

Yesterday was the Downtown Halloween Trick or Treat for little children. I saw a costume or two that I wasn't ready for. How about a 3' tall Gene Simmons (life size head of Gene with a extra long tongue hanging down).You can't get much scarier than that.Here is my try. It took me a full 10 minute...

Tonight is the night we will be carving pumpkins in the Timm household. All of the pumpkins in the house were grown in our own garden and they were grown just for this purpose (however several will escape the knife and remain fall decorations beyond Halloween.Even though Friday night is Date nigh...

It seems that we are living in a world of High Anxiety.The Mel Brooks movie above is 48 years old but still a laugh riot today. I think it's time for a remake that includes cell phones and all the other electronics we deal with today.Philemon's anxiety, in the cartoon above, my be something that ...

My exaggerated answer to Titus is: "just stand still, everything will fly by you in the frenzy of the other shoppers". 🙄The Ugly Box Store of Minot has never advertised, it doesn't need to, word of mouth keeps this store busier everyday than Target is on Christmas Eve.What is The Uglee Box Store?...

I will admit that I get sad thinking about winter being right around the corner BUT once winter is here it really doesn't bother me... until maybe April if it's still hanging on.Winter is a time of solitude. It reminds me of Superman's hideout, it gives you space to think and contemplate.When we ...

Most Realtors who have a few years of experience behind them have seen people pull the trigger a little to quick  but maybe more often than not they pull the trigger not soon enough. Both happen.I, for one, do not think a Buyer should "settle" for a home they are not ready to love NOW and love fo...

The raking of leaves in our yard is nearly over. Lucky for me Timmothy did about 75% of it (or more). That being said I do miss the days of my raking the leave and inviting my kids to jump in them. It was always so much fun to watch and hear their laughter.A home with trees in the yard has a lot ...
