We went to IHOP for dinner tonight- just daddy and the kids.  IHOP  is great for the kiddos since most do free meals after 4 p.m. for kids. Well tonight featured an extra bonus; Entertainer and Balloon Decorator Paul Teal.  I don't claim to be a balloon expert, but I do have to say his work is extraordinary. From heart shaped and glow in the dark balloons, my kids were mesmerized. His website it www.partytilyoupop.com  The service at IHOP was great as was the food (all you can eat pancakes for 4.99 is quite a deal).  I highly recommend this great family night. Paul is at the below IHOP location every Friday night.         01/14/2011

Image by lane.bailey via Flickr Some post titles tickle me a little more than others.  I have to say, I was fairly pleased with Duluth, Not Just for Minnesota Anymore... I wrote a little post about life in Duluth, GA.  I wrote about the history, a few developments and what types of shopping and recreation may be available nearby.  When I first moved to Georgia, 21 years ago, I lived in Duluth for a couple of years.  At that time, it was considered WAY out in the suburbs... but not so much anymore. Not, there are lots of companies that seek out Duluth as a place to locate their headquarters.  Aside from the nice area, there are convenient transportation arteries, loads of shopping and recreational opportunities, as well as a community and government that is supportive of business.

I Love Mentoring, But Where Are My Mentees? This Duluth, GA home stager has always enjoyed mentoring.  There's just something about bringing someone else along that feels good.  It's fun to have others look to me for the answers to their questions. I really am not a killer blogger.  I started on AR in 2008, then stopped, then started back.  I've learned a lot along the way and definitely know more now than I did two years ago, so I have been offering my help to friends who are interested in blogging on AR.  So far I've had three take me up on my offer.  I decided today to check up on them to see how things are going.  Case Study #1:  "Diane" is an agent I've known casually through her RE company for a couple of years.  Around the first of this year I ran into her at a social media semin... 08/29/2010

There are a few occupational hazards we real estate agents face… moldy foreclosures, rotted floors that we can fall through, angry undisclosed dogs, getting locked out of a house on the back deck 40′ off the ground (don’t ask).  But there is something even more dangerous… Houses we really like… really, really like.  Ones that we can afford… As a real estate agent, I look at a lot of houses.  Some of them are amazingly cool.  But, I’m not dropping half a million bucks on a house.  Those aren’t so dangerous…  Not to say that I don’t love the media rooms, pubs on the terrace level and the 10 car garages… especially the 10 car garages… but those aren’t that dangerous, because they are out of MY operating range. And then… So, I was out checking out some new cool garage homes in Gwinnett Coun... 08/14/2010

I was looking over some foreclosure deals that closed this past week to examine the particulars.  It's always good to figure out what it took to get a good foreclosure deal. Some buyers who just started the game might think that they are in the driver's seat and banks will take whatever they offer.  But the banks aren't the issue.  It's other competitive buyers.  What are others willing to bid on some of these foreclosures? A beautiful foreclosed home in Sugarloaf Country club was listed:  List price June 9th: $799,900Tax assessment value:  $1,364,100Sold in 2003 for $1,325,000 It sold and closed in 23 days for $825,700 in cash. So much for no one having cash to buy luxury homes.  So much for a cash buyer being able to name their price.  People are paying more than list price for some n... 07/05/2010
