Do you ever want to just reach through the phone and slap the person on the other end? I was speaking with a perspective seller. I could hardly get a word in. I understand she was upset, but she barely let me explain things. She thought she knew it all. Why? Because she's also a real estate agent

Did you ever watch the show, Kids Say the Darndest Things? I loved it, as kids do say some really funny things. Many times, it's like, where did they learn that?? Tonight, my husband was watching college football. My almost 5 year old (will be 5 on Friday if you can believe it) asks him which pl
