After almost sixty years between us, we are always surprised when challenges we have not had before come up.Recent inspections on a sale showed a leak under the dishwasher.  The water was running out of the brick outside the house.  The inspector did not move the dishwasher to look underneath . Instead he suggested that the prospective buyers have the area under the dishwasher inspected, looking specifically for wood rot.Ominous thoughts went through everyone's heads.  The question also arose about why the renters who were there did not report a water problem.The idea that the dishwasher could have been running water into the cabinet was one of those potentailly expensive repairs.  Things like that kill transactions .Today the sellers had the situation looked into...  Somehow, a hose to... 03/11/2013

Last week about this time we negotiated an offer on one of our listings.We delivered it back to the agent and were told that she was in a seminar and would get the earnest money and option check to us as soon as she could.  On Thursday we dropped by her office to see if we could pick up the checks.  She met us in the lobby and said that she did not have them because the buyer had not delivered them yet and she would let them know again that they needed to get them to her.  She also said that she did not have a relationship with these folks.  She had just met them at an open house.Alarm bells?  Uh-huh!! We thought so.  We called the sellers who said, "maybe they will still bring the checks."  Nice!  But hardly practical.If the prospective buyer cannot deliver an option check in a timely ... 11/19/2012

While we were out doing errands last night we came across a house in our farm area with an unusual display of sports enthusiasm.Not only did this logo for the "Texans " football team cost an incredible amount of time and money, but it truly captures attention of those driving down the street.The marketing possibilities are mind boggling!  Just imagine the artists it could employ if each of us would do something similar with our company logos on the homes we have listed!Surely we are as enthusiastic about our sales teams and companies as this guy is about his "team".If that is not the case we all need to make a commitment to achieve that level of enthusiasm.  Sports after all are entertainment.  What we do is help people make their home owning dreams come true! 10/09/2012

Last week we had a stove stolen out of one of our listings.The house is new on the market and is vacant.One agent had showed the house complete with appointment.Feedback was that the people did not like the floor plan. That is why they make black shoes and brown shoes.  No problem!The problem is that when we read the lock box after the theft was discovered, there was no entry for that agent....  So how did he get in to show?  Don't you just love puzzles?!We decided that since there was no forced entry, someone left either a window or door open.  No proof and no evidence .To ensure that this did not happen again, we decided that we would go check the house after each showing.Last night on our way to the lock check, we saw a bright pink balloon floating across the road.We wondered where i... 10/01/2012
