Hi y'all --- Just had to pass along this little ditty to all my friends and family.  You know who you are... Did you know that your kids can bowl free all summer long at AMF bowling centers? No? Didn't know that? Well...now you do! Just go to KIDSBOWLFREE.COM and sign your child(ren) up.  I did it for my two girls and they've been enjoying bowling since the beginning of May. The program goes throughout the summer ('til early September) and it's for children 15 and under.  There is the option for a family pass (I'm guessing this is how they make money off this deal...) where parents (grandparents, sitters...) can join in the fun as well.  It's quite a deal at $24. You don't have to purchase this to take advantage of the 'kids bowl free' option, though. I've really enjoyed bowling with my... 05/28/2009

Selling your home in today's marketplace is hard.  Selling your overpriced home in today's marketplace is downright MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE. You're doing yourself, your home, and your agent a huge disservice by overpricing your home in the current buyer's market.  Overpriced homes get shown last, if at all, and they sit un-sold much longer than homes that are priced right.  You think that old strategy of pricing higher than your absolute minimum acceptable sales price will work because now you're adding some ‘padding'?  Seriously?  You think that's a good strategy?  Uh...no, it's not.  It's a terrible strategy and it absolutely does not work in today's market.   Moreover, you're doing a great thing for your neighbors' agents.  You see, by pricing your home too high, you are helping to sell ... 04/05/2009

I'm really excited about a New Year and a New Beginning! I'm pumped up by all the ways there are to build my business. Calling expireds, calling my sphere of influence, monthly newsletters, whatever it takes I'm ready to do it. I was pumped up in 2008 as well. I had "goals" but at the end of the year, realized I hadn't met most of them. This year is going to be different. This year I have a business plan. My first one, I'm sorry to say. I heard someone say recently that a business plan is a living document and that I need to review it frequently, so I'm going to do that. I'll know right away if I'm on track to meet my goals, because I'm checking my daily activity sheet. I'd like to hear from those of you who have been using a business plan. How it's helped you, if you have any suggestio... 01/09/2009

I really am starting to take this all personally. Did everyone I sold a property to in the last few years default on their mortgage? No? Then...if they haven't defaulted yet, are they about to? I'm serious here.  It's all too much for a girl to bear.  I get a phone call or two each month now with a former client on the other end.  Most times these calls are asking for guidance on what to do now that they need to sell their home -- the home they just bought 2 or 3 years ago.  That's not good, because these are not investors; they were in it for the long haul -- or so I thought.   I have to tell them the cold, hard facts about today's world of real estate.  They probably owe more on the house than the house is worth. I'm really tired of saying this over and over again. I wish I didn't hav... 01/03/2009

I'll preface this post by saying that I always advise my buyers to hire a home inspector and have a thorough inspection done on the property they've decided to purchase.  Additionally, I always add, "I wouldn't buy a house without getting an inspection done!". Then, I give my buyers the contact info. for 3 inspectors that I know and love, one of whom is the inspector I used for my own residence.  I tell 'em that since they have the right to use any inspector they want, they should not feel obligated to use my list (and might want to ask family or friends for a  recommendation or even use the Yellow Pages or the internet, if they so desire). O.K., now that all of the disclosures are out of the way -- this is the story of the buyer who went on-line to find the... Inspector Extraordinaire,... 12/31/2008
