I love what I learn about my clients while we tour houses. They share their knowledge, their questions, their background, while we view the houses and I share information with them. It’s a great exchange as we walk through the house, noting things that will work for them, making notes about questions the house raises, and adding mental notes along the way about how they relate to the layout and the amenities.  Sharing with them what I’ve learned in the business, we talk about the bones of the house, the heart of the house (the basement), the systems, how to maintain the house, and any deal-killers that may be evident to me or to them. “Let your nose lead you,” is something I often say, especially in the basement. Then we discuss the systems, maintenance, issues that we want to ask the S... 05/23/2025

You all know the banana as the ubiquitous marketing mascot for this fun gal known as Anna Banana. But did you know that the mighty banana also can fight a host of illnesses and help you live a much healthier life? It's true! Read on to discover some of the amazing banana properties for yourself! According to a physiological psychology professor at Community College of New York, the expression “going bananas” derives from bananas’ effects on the brain. Bananas contain three natural sugars: sucrose, fructose, and glucose along with fiber, which provide an instant sustained and substantial energy boost. Just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. Bananas are known to have a positive impact on everything from depression and PMS, to anemia, high blood pressure, ... 05/23/2025

As Memorial Day approaches, we pause to remember the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Their service and valor are the foundation of the freedoms we hold dear.Throughout our history, individuals from all walks of life have answered the call to serve. They left behind loved ones, dreams, and the familiar comforts of home to face extraordinary challenges. Their bravery and commitment safeguarded our liberties and shaped the course of our nation.These heroes were more than soldiers, they were sons and daughters, siblings, friends, and spouses. They carried hopes and aspirations yet chose to place duty above self. Their personal sacrifices remind us that freedom comes at a profound cost.We owe them more than words can express. Their legacy compels us t... 05/23/2025

Sandpoint Realty 'Thursday Thought' might have us better examine items we keep track of with numbers.This quote takes me back to when I was a manager at North Star Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe.  All managers were giving end of season status reports for their separate departments. Halfway thru my report I realized I was using numbers, good numbers, to hide the reality of the condition of my departments.  My departments were a mess, and about to implode. All due to my poor leadership.  I continued with the report, but ashamed in doing so, knowing it was all 'BS'.  No matter what we are using numbers for, personal diets, work outs, business sales, profits etc, don't let them mislead you as to their importance.  While numbers can help us be accountable to ourselves it is very important we hold ... 05/22/2025

If I had to start my real estate career over again........What would I do?  Anything different?  More of the same?I don't think I would change too much, because I've had a very rewarding career so far.HOWEVER, there is one thing that I would definitely change:  Being FEARLESS.When I first started out, I was so afraid of making a mistake that there was a good amount of time where I felt self-paralyzed.  My actions were more reflective of not making a mistake more than they were about just wearing my heart on my sleeve and allow the fates to take me where they must.Don't get me wrong - I worked HARD.  VERY HARD.  There were times when I was working 70-hour work weeks.  At my present age, I could not sustain that kind of intensity.  But I am grateful for the rewards that time period has br... 05/22/2025

A bit of magic. When I started doing magic shows I did them for free as Community Service. Then companies and associations started to contact me and pay me for shows. Because I could mix sales, motivation and comedy magic they paid me a lot to present. I had to limit the magic because I was running my company and servicing my own mortgage customers. But I still did a lot of magic and it was certainly fun for my wife and I (she always travels with me) to fly to L.A. on a Saturday morning and be picked up by a Limo and stay on the top floor of the hotel where I would do magic on Sunday morning. Associations would hire me for Sunday mornings sometimes to hold the conventioneers just a bit longer.I never was a 'big name' magician or entertainer but the experiences were still interesting. I ... 05/21/2025
