Randy's Blog about Real Estate

If you are like me with a laptop at work and a desktop at home and a Blackberry on me at most all times, keeping it all headed in the same direction can be a chore!  I just downloaded DropBox (www.dropbox.com).  So far, it is doing everything they promised.  It's easy, fast and FREE! (as long as ...

Uh, Oh!  Dow down a bunch- again!  Much of my retirement funds are in the market and looked pretty good last year, but......   Does anyone know anything about what going on in Wall Street?  I think the experts opinions are like lawyer opinions- every body has one and they are all different.

I have an voice-mail service I think is fantastic.  It greats all my contact list by name.  You would not believe the interest it generates when I get a call from a customer or client.

I've been throug...

Unbelievably, we need rain!  After the floods last winter, I never thought I'd be saying that.  I'm even pondering putting out the sprinklers.  Weather man says rain yesterday, today and tomorrow- so far nothing. It seems like it is either too much or too little anymore.  Are there ever any avera...

I just sat through a session at at our local credit union with my son while he applied for, and I co-signed, an auto loan.  It's amazing how similar the process is, whether you are borrowing $10,000 or $1,000,000.  It's all about credit rating and credit score.  It's amazing how many people do no...

It may be the heat OR is may be the expiration of the $8000 tax credit!  Either one will stifle a buyer's interest.  My business has come to a screeching halt since the end of April.  Of course, temps in the 90's for the first time this year probably hasn't helped or that now is prime vacation ti...
