30years ago fuel prices were outrageous, our houses leaked like sieves, the Middle East was in tumult and we were threatened by run away inflation.  Now here we are again.As private parties we don't have any way to change fuel prices, the situation in the Middle East or inflation but we can do so...

 You can blog until your eyes are red and your fingers are blue and Seniors with Money (SWMRS) will never know you exist.  You can buy every Ad Word Google has, buy ad space on 30 search engine and have enough Google juice to fill a tanker and this group will never see you. Being a Boomer myself...

Myopic sellers are a big waste of time an money.  In the last 2mos I let a little over $2Million in listings expire without attempting to re-list them.  I call these BMW listings (bunch of money wasted) From time to time I find myself going a mile a minute then realize, while I'm moving fast, I n...

With all the hype about good deals on foreclosures most of my buyer clients think that's the ticket for them so I do my Foreclosure 101 lecture.  Then we go look at foreclosures and I include a couple non-distressed properties for comparison.  I don't tell them which are the private party propert...

I think Widgets are a good thing but I'm not sure they are for an average Joe like me.  I'd like to use them on all my sites but the cautions are keeping me from it.  On my main website I have the ability to ad Widgets but on the same screen there is a big caution something like:  "Any support wi...

 It happens over and over.   John and Jane spend $25K on their kitchen and think that makes their home worth $25K more.   I have lectured and lectured and it sometimes falls on deaf ears.  When buyers look at homes they expect them to have a reasonable modern functioning kitchen (and baths)  When...
