I love the Super Bowl because I love Pro sports when it gets to this level of intensity. I also love the commercial that cost what 2 Billion a minute:-). (With the current state of the market, maybe they're on sale this year and next!) I was thinking with all those people watching, why not make a...

As most REALTORS are finding out, working a deal on a foreclosure is not always as easy as you might imagine.

This is a gift that usually comes after Christmas. It's the gift of a fresh start - a new beginning - ye...

The stories I seem to be hearing most these days from REALTORS and Lenders is getting the deal closed. I've had several closings that are being bumped by a week, 2 weeks or 6 weeks! It seems that these lenders or maybe "underwriters" have forgotten how to "land the plane".  They are really messin...

I was headed to my son's basketball game in N. Georgia yesterday and realized that I had not had one call to set up a showing, or to ask about one of my listings. It must be Christmas!! I'm reading a little book called, "Follow The Star" by T.D. Jakes. He helped me see some of the beauty and simp...

It's Wednesday morning, all is quiet for a few more minutes at least. I'm enjoying a cup of coffee with by the Christmas tree. Wednesday's are generally my slowest day of the week as far as Real Estate goes, today is different. I've got several appointments for listings and I'm showing some prope...

My wife had been trying to get me connected to Facebook - I was resisting because I'm already on Active Rain and I have a myspace page (kinda sucks at the moment).
