Are things really picking up? Am I crazy? I hope everyone had a great Easter and is ready to work hard as all the buyers flood our e-mail in-boxes and voice mails with requests to write up offers.

The next thing you know they'll be making new Rocky and Rambo movies! Oh yeah, they already are! JM 03/24/2008

So I was given this awesome marketing idea the other day.  I told Meagan about it.  Meagan helps with marketing for my business  and for her uncle Scott's mortgage business. It turns out that Scott's business partner Jim had come up with a very similar idea.  The difference was that I was taking the idea one step further.  Scott and Jim were impressed. Now we are working together ( not so close as to violate any RESPA regulations) and marketing to the same clients.  I am going for the short sales and the purchases while Scott and Jim are going for the loans.  In a few weeks we will know if this tactic is the brilliant idea we think it is or if we are just pounding our heads against the wall. If that is the case, at least we are doing it together and having fun.  So after we all had lunc... 03/11/2008
