A local United Way office realized that it had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer. The person in charge of contributions called the lawyer up."Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $400,000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to g...

I found this to be quite humorous: A lawyer and a blonde are sitting next to each other on a long flight from LA to NY. The lawyer leans over to her and asks if she would like to play a fun game. The blonde just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a...

One day, there was this lawyer who had just bought a new car, and he was eager to show it off to his colleagues, when all of a sudden an eighteen wheeler came out of nowhere and took of the driver's side door with him standing right there. "NOOO!" he screamed, because he knew that no matter how g...

I got a nice chuckle out of this one. One Sunday afternoon a couple sees an ad in the paper. They can't believe their eyes. There is a house in the paper for $1000 that is in the nicest part of town. We are talking about a Highland Park mansion for $1000. They think this has to be a misprint, but...

I hope that everyone is doing well. The last couple of weeks have turned out to be pretty amazing. This is a nice change considering it has been a really difficult 6+ months where it seemed like every deal was falling through. Perseverance is key in this business and I really believe that those o...

Good Morning and I wish you all a superb week. Hopefully Sunday is not an indicator of what my week is going to be like, if it is I have big problems. Here is what happened, I have a buyer who knows exactly what she is looking for and will send me 1 listing at a time that she would like me to sho...
