You know this will be a play on words. I now live in western Massachusetts and the snow is still flying and probably will be on and off through most of May. With that said it will soon be a garage sale season where folks who have inventoried their stuff all winter are ready to make a few bucks an

It is one of those things that you can't buy and matters the most. I remember a colleague who once sold a townhome to a client representing that the attached garage was part of the transaction. It wasn't. Imagine the closing when the buyer came to find out that she was about to lose what she most

I hate going to the Dentist and cleaning is no fun at all. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and do things you don't like to because it is for the best. Marte would say, today I get to go to the dentis and get my teeth cleaned. It is snowing but the office is near so I will go and then take m

It is a question to always ask and one that all relies upon. If you are a professional you need to focus on the goal at all times and not be distracted by the small stuff or the things in a transaction that don't really matter. Early on I learned that if there wasn't a deal to be made the other s

It has been a very long and trying couple of weeks so tonight I am going to my favorite place for pizza after a Caesar salad. Simple things can sometimes be the best. I am looking forward to the meal and being out to get it. And maybe there will be chocolate cake as well. Yep, I am thinking there

How much do you want it? My view is that almost anything is possible if the desire is real and the commitment sincere. I am working on a couple of things with limited time. I have decided I am going to give it my all. It is good to have an agenda. Got to go, working it now.
