Each day I hope to receive an offer on my home that will allow me to get moving. Each day I know I need to be patient and available and each day is gets harder. "I'd like to show your home tonight at 7 PM or shortly thereafter." I take a deep breath and remember the goal, while I think of another

Sunday I had multiple showings on my home. It was difficult being in and out of the house with my dogs in tow for long periods at a time. The stress of selling is much more than I ever experienced previously and is taking its toll. My pups love the word car but only one is really comfortable in t

In real estate, as in life, there are those you know and like, and those you know and admire: Phil Faranda is both. I first met Phil on-line through Active Rain, a network of professionals, who in one way or another, are involved in the real estate industry. I found Phil to be extraordinarily bri

When I try new things my mind goes wild. I spent several hours this afternoon with a tech guru I have known for years, getting my PC's coordinated and my new Mac Book Air set up. He spent almost six hours with me and I thought, I can get this, I will get this. Now after two hours on my own, I hav

It really isn't about guns or the second amendment, it's about having the courage to protect people. Common sense would suggest that even hunters don't use assault weapons, and it isn't rocket science to want a background check on everyone who buys a gun. No this won't stop criminals from obtaini
