Caught in Time

There was somewhat of a split day for me by working a half day on laborious projects, and the other half with real estate.  The small project I was working on went pretty well and was happy those morning hours brought results.  My appointment with buyers were out of town so I was able to get a good look at the sunny countryside. If every winter d … continue reading

A Much Needed Laugh

There was certainly some little voice in my head late yesterday telling me to get those geraniums dug up and hung in the basement of my office, because we certainly had a had a real freeze last night.  As chance would have it, I mentioned my little job of hanging my geraniums upside down to a customer today and wondering if they’ll survive. My c … continue reading

Gimme a Bite

The howling of the wind outside certainly tells us Winter is well on its way.  I had several homes to show out of town late this afternoon and I can say it wasn’t fun bucking the strong winds along with evidently being on the road when the factories were changing shifts.  I do wish some of the farmers would plan their time on the blacktops arou … continue reading

Game of Horseshoes

It looks like tomorrow is going to be the last day before some real cold starts settling in for us.  But let’s look on the bright side, we haven’t had any real killing frost to where the geraniums behind my office are still blooming and it’s the 17th of November.  We certainly have been blessed with wonderful days since Fall arrived and wit … continue reading

677 – 15th St. SE

One of my listings had a soft-landing closing today, and so much so, I wish they all would be as seamless and issue-free as this one was from the time of offer to the time of closing.  One of the bankers asked me today if the market is still active and I told her it is still chugging along.  These pleasant days of weather we’ve been having have … continue reading

Pass me a Balloon

Having had another one of those rare restless nights, I decided to start my day earlier than normal.  I would say the early morning fog was a bit beyond creepy.  If it were not overcast, and there being only the ground fog to contend with, I’d say it would’ve been one of those vampirish before breaking dawn mornings where everything would se … continue reading

Mega Beaver Moon

The highlight of my day was getting a call from a seller informing me he’s ready to list.  With our market still cruising along, I’m glad to be able to continue replacing listings that have recently sold. There are several other ones in the pipeline which should be coming on in the next weeks. Someone asked me how my year has been thus far and … continue reading

Return of the Crows

We could have had an absolutely beautiful November day if the wind were not blowing so hard. Since I had all of my office work finished for the week, I decided to do some serious putzing with little jobs that somehow turned into big ones, and when I finally decided to call it quits, all the of un-noticeable aches and pains started. Without going in … continue reading

Our Timeless Reminder

This afternoon’s public open house at 850 - 15th St. SE was more of a success than I’d expected due to the most pleasant weather we’ve been having these past days.  I’m still in disbelief it hasn’t sold yet since I was certain it would be gone in less than a month.  It’s location is highly sought after, the home is well built, and itâ … continue reading

Veteran’s Day 2016

Sometimes people can’t seem to move forward simply because they hold far too fast to the past. I mention this especially now knowing that likely half of the voting public did not want Donald Trump to be elected. Well it happened, so we must now abide by the rules that have worked for our country for over 200 years. There should be no reason for d … continue reading
