My only real estate appointment took to my listing at 1415 - 9th St. SE. We were there longer than normal due to the buyers making some visual changes which they would make if they should purchase it. Before we left, we happened on the subject of naughty tenants and the games they play with their landlords. We all agreed how people in general … continue reading

We Like Sheep
This morning I spent some quality time with one of my client/customers over breakfast at one of my not so favorite eateries. The food they serve is OK, but I really don't like their coffee, and they don't offer real cream or half and half so to help kill its taste, but instead they only offer those nasty little personal creamer cups. Yuck!

Six Minutes of Sunshine
The weather certainly does have more of psychological effect on the general public than most would like to admit. I quietly notice it when engaged in random conversations with people I see on a near daily basis. You can see it, hear it, and feel it.
The closings of my two sales today went smoothly as expected, along with discovering that I'd p … continue reading

Sing a Requiem
I've got pretty much everything ready for the two closings I have tomorrow. I did have a couple near last hour hiccups that could have been avoided, but at least we have everyone on board for tomorrow. Thank goodness everyone kept from spinning out of control. Like I've said, "Too many cooks spoil the soup."
For this Saturday's public open hou … continue reading

1853 Springview Drive
First off, the kitchen/dining area to the back of the home offers abundant natural lighting and fabulous views of the outdoors due to there being no homes behind it. I've always liked homes with that feature because it offers more privacy both outside and within.
The master bedroom has a 1/2 bath off, and all the windows were recently replaced … continue reading

Stuck in a Snowbank
In spite of the weather, several of my listings were sold today, and as chance would have it, I sold one of them myself. That's one I figured wouldn't be on the market very long because of its location, square footage, and updates. The buyer is exceptionally excited about it and I fully understand why.
Now that we're over halfway thru the … continue reading

More Opaque
Earlier this morning, I called one of my dear friends just to see how things were with her, and discovered she had a frozen water pipe from that last cold snap we had, along with several other weather related problems. I can't stress enough to everyone how more careful and proactive we must be when it gets so cold outside.
Someone mentioned to … continue reading

It All Starts
Since I didn't make it to a religious service yesterday due to my stacked appointments, I thought I'd go to an early service this morning. Not realizing the time, I found myself in a bit of a hurry so to make it to a church's early service before they started.
As always, while driving down Highway 122, I was caught by nearly every stoplight tu … continue reading

Kinda Creepy
Thank Heaven I wasn't crazy enough to have chosen to live in some God forsaken State like upper North Dakota where not only the weather's brutal, but with their towns and cities being so far apart, you'd think the human race had suddenly vanished due some biblical rapture having taken place.
As in many sparsely populated areas of our Country, th … continue reading

The Melting Pot
Of course, since it's been below freezing enough days to where my fingers are now getting those deep and painful cracks that appear every year when there are extended days without a thaw, I finally broke down and purchased another tube of vitamin E hand cream that seems to help with the healing process. Oh well, it's just another genetic predispo … continue reading
