There are two shops on the property with lots of tre... 08/26/2018

Why Re-Invent the Wheel.  I am an out going person and I think what I consider to be very funny.  I generally can get away with saying things others can't or won't say.  But with most buyers (only) I try and make it a fun experience, because as you know they buy on emotion.  So I really want them to enjoy their time with meand get involved emotionally.  I work, well the word work is a strong word (because if you look at my hands, you would be hardpressed to find calluses or cuts, bruises or scars from physical labor), I tend to do what I need to do to be successful in real estate.  This so called work as I would call it takes me about 12 hours a day, sometimes more. But when I relax after the long day, I will just sit at my computer and listen to You Tube to my favorite music or comedy ... 12/18/2010

On Saturday, June 6th, 2009, the town of Milton, Delaware was abuzz. All 850 tickets were sold out for the 6th Annual Summer Bash happening right in the heart of town. Last year the event was a fundraiser to elect Jack Markell the next Governor of Delaware. This year, Governor Jack Markell welcomed all and hosted this year's fundraiser for the Food Bank of Delaware! It was a beautiful day with temperatures in the 70s, not the sizzling 90s of last year's bash. The talent this year - PAM TILLIS - probably had something to do with the size of the crowd.       I hope you enjoyed the Summer Bash video and I look forward to seeing you at one of the great events we have throughout the year in my home town - Milton, Delaware!   06/14/2009

Ask me in a few weeks if this one was effective. If any of today's agents end up working with the right kind of buyer, they were very impressed with what they saw. Will their buyer be qualified? Will they be able to get financing? Will they be looking for this kind of house in town? If they are, these agents will know where to take them. This house is a renovated home in the Historic District. It was gutted and updated to today's standards for energy efficiency and comfort. Using the principles... 05/13/2009
