A Bargain Basement Buy

A Bargain Basement Buy
I was expecting it to be a bit cooler today, but unfortunately it climbed back up into the 80's which isn't the most comfortable when working in our concrete, brick and mortar downtown. Those who're not gardeners, don't realize that most greenery in our climate zone gets stressed when the temps climb up into the eighties on a daily basis, so if you … continue reading

Hang Onto The Past

Hang Onto The Past
It was definitely a more tolerable day with our temps not being off the charts, which I believe caused the general public here in North Iowa, to be less crabby and more delightful. My early scheduled appointment was to meet with two exceptionally loyal and faithful clients who were needing some legal documents notarized, so once all that complet … continue reading

Some Bumpier Roads

Some Bumpier Roads
Since it was a relatively quiet morning, I decided to head back to my rear office where a good deal of tidying-up was needed, and mainly because I've been using that room to change into and out of my work clothes, and of course I'd been a bit lazy about keeping it looking like a spare office. I did manage to sort thru all the work clothes I had sto … continue reading

Getting Thrown Back In Time

Getting Thrown Back In Time
I did manage to get caught up on my sleep after being awakened numerous times during the night on Friday from the sound of fireworks in the neighborhood, and since it was another Sunday morning, I proceeded to get my spiritual exercise completed before even thinking about what I had planned for the rest of the day. Since I now have more people on m … continue reading

Disinformation Travels Faster

Disinformation Travels Faster
Not having a normal night's sleep due to the extended period of fireworks that was taking place in my district last night up until the hour of one, my regular hours of sleep was cut short which nearly always causes me to be a little on the brittle side the following day, and thankful I didn't have much of any interaction with the general public oth … continue reading

Getting Much Of A Bang

Getting Much Of A Bang
I'm sure many of you were sticking close to home after the temps starting rising well above 80 degrees, and glad I got over to Clear Lake to get my open house signs in place before the traffic started getting heavy. I couldn't believe how many parked cars were lining the side streets off North Shore Drive, and likely because there were people wanti … continue reading

Big Beautiful Travesty

Big Beautiful Travesty
It ended up being another solid ten hour day which began with my heading over to a unit to get another load of 'left-behinds' placed in giant garbage bags and hauled off to the landfill which was noticeably busier considering tomorrow's a holiday, but at least it's now to the point where a long period of deep cleaning will begin. I couldn't help me … continue reading

A Delightful Conversation

A Delightful Conversation
Now that our lawns aren't so spongy from all the rain we received, there was a noticeable number of people out mowing today, and glad for it because there've been a a very many lawns around town looking pretty darned shaggy. As I was nearing the office early this morning, I noticed a box of used clothes sitting next to the dumpster, and several … continue reading

Curtain Rising on 1645 – 7th Place SW
It definitely ended up being a longer day than normal again, but at least I did manage to get several noteworthy things accomplished which always help to keep a person in a productive mode. After getting everything done on the real estate side of things, I took several hours off to get some cleaning up done in a unit which hadn't been taken care … continue reading

Price Reduced On 319 S. Lincoln

Price Reduced On 319 S. Lincoln
As expected, my end-of-the-month Monday was filled with a myriad of pressing duties which encompassed just about every spectrum of a Realtor's duties, but at the end of the day, I managed to keep the machine well-oiled and running smoothly. The new shipment of feather flags I ordered arrived this morning, so I hurried out to my new listing at 15 … continue reading
