Lake Sinclair: we love it, we know it, & we sell it

This is a sad and very sensitive topic and one I have had happen in my career more times than I care to count.  In fact, currently we are waiting on probate to be ready to close the property of a married couple who didn't have rights of survivorship in their title and owned property together and ...

Today a loan officer met with buyers in my office who just locked their rate in at under 6% for a primary home.  Now most of my buyers have been quoted above 7% for weeks.  So I asked the loan officer "how" and he said it was due to the bank failures.  I did a little research and found a great ar...

So many people will tell you that facebook is "yesterday" when it come to marketing.  However that's not been my experience.  Now, I don't "pay" to be on facebook.  Nor do I have a credit card connected to my account or boost or promote ads.  But I run a community group.  And said "community grou...

Most of the time I don't read "junk" emails.  Today, I was sitting and waiting for an agent to stop back in the office when one popped in my email box and I opened it about 5 seconds after it arrived..  The content of the email was :Hi, My Company is exclusively brokering the domain name Vacation...

Something that I learned here at ActiveRain and that has served me well at keeping the pipeline flowing is posts that last forever.  As an example,  my post on Forest Lake Village subdivision is one of the most clicked on posts I've ever written.  Over 26,000 views and 8 comments.  And that post ...

Well let me tell you, from experience, don't do it in your blog posts.Once upon a time, b...

As I've aged, "not by the hair of my chiny chin chin" makes a lot more sense than it did when I heard that story instead of when I read to my grandsons now.We've been sick in my family and I've come to the conclusion that all the masking and staying home really harmed America's immune system. Whe...

I am waiting for a delivery.  I need to be at home packing, but I'm at my office waiting for UPS and USPS because I have a new replacement mouse that should be coming today.  I paid extra.  It says it's coming today and I was excited for the Fedex truck, but no, that was my brother's package.But ...

As yet another has left this earthly life I am reminded that sometimes I don't make that call or pick up the phone or send a text or say I love you to the people in my life often enough.  I come from big families.  My parents collectively had 9 siblings and that made for a LOT of first cousins. M...

There are those that I have conversations with outside of the pages of ActiveRain who may already know, but I am sure many of you have no idea of the thoughts I am about to share or the back story.In 1997 I had a call from a client who was searching for a home on Lake Sinclair with an Atlanta age...
