Luckily I have wi-fi, and can get online from the garage. If given a choice, that is where I am. Between MLS searches, arranging marketing, and pre-viewing homes, I will try to get in a little welder time, or at least clean some of the tools from the last wrenching session.

But don't worry, everything is fine.  I've been blogging on my regular site, LaneBailey.com... and sometimes on LaneBailey.info, which is more about social media.  I just haven't had much time to spend here commenting or posting special content for my A|R Blog.  I'm going to change that a bit... ...

It is a time honored tradition among car companies... and it makes a lot of financial sense.  Build cars with similar components.  If they can dive into the parts bin instead of designing a new piece from the ground up, they can save a lot of money.  Everything from floor architecture to minor sw...

Looking over the wares Last summer, Lilburn, GA, began a weekly Farmer's Market every Friday from 4-8pm.  Booths were set up on Railroad Ave., next the the Police Station and City Park.  We made it out a few times with the kids to pick up some fresh treats... and see some neighbors.  One of the t...

  I love watching the news... but when they talk about the real estate market, I cringe. I like to hear the national numbers, but I also know that they are just a framework for a smaller discussion. Yep... a smaller discussion. It matters what the overall market is doing, but it's not nearly as i...

Image via Wikipedia Two whole years ago...  Wow, time flies. I wrote a post about the Top 10 Most Boring Cars.  It is one that got a lot of attention off of my blog.  I have had a few people comment to me personally about my choices.  I still don't know how someone can defend the Camry as being ...

Image via Wikipedia We all know that there is no second chance to make a first impression.  That saying almost couldn't be more overused.  But it is still true.  I drive up to homes for the first time with buyers on an almost daily basis.  I listen to them as we approach the house.  I listen to ...

A few years ago this property was started. One home was built, along with the future clubhouse. The tennis courts were installed and the swimming pool was roughed in. Some of the streets had been laid, and many of the homesites had been prepped. And that is how the property had sat for the last ...

Image via Wikipedia If you aren't familiar with the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, it is Jeep's best performing off-roader.  When it was introduced, it became an instant hit with the enthusiast community.  The option list read like the first mods a Jeeper would want to order up: Dana 44 axles front and ...

Image by lane.bailey via Flickr You are NOT a bank.  Your home isn't a foreclosure. Hopefully it isn't on its way to a foreclosure.  You need to maximize the price your home fetches on the market, and minimize the time it is on the market.  The problem is those foreclosures that your house has t...
