Working the W-B, Wilkes-Barre that is!!!

I'm probably a bit late on the change, but I needed some technical learning for getting my ribbon to stick!! I have it right now, so I've gone pink too for Breast Cancer Awareness month. While I don't know anyone with breast cancer, I do know plenty of people with cancer and I can see that it's a...

Selling a home usually entails getting rid of, for lack of a better word, some junk. This can be handled in a variety of ways, from kicking it to the curb to hiring a service to remove it for you. I'd like to share something I use that's absolutely free and takes very little effort on your part t...

I signed on today and realized that I had surpassed the 50K mark. There was no fanfare, no alarms going off to tell me that I had won a prize. I mean, what's going on? Isn't this what Active Rain is all about? That's what I thought when I first joined AR. I wanted so badly to move up in the ranki...

I had a rough day today. I guess you could say that it's the accumulation of a few rough weeks with one particular transaction that I have been dealing with. The transaction started out just fine. I had a customer come to look at one of my listings and decided to use me to buy another property. T...

64 N. Grant Street in Wilkes-Barre, PA is so close to schools and shopping that you almost don't need a car at all.

Getting people to call me back is a huge pet peeve of mine. I spend most of the day every day with my Bluetooth buzzing in my ear as I try to get through the day on one charge. I have sign riders with my name and number on them so people can call me directly. I'm not in the office all that much, ...

I've been thinking about Halloween as the time draws closer. I've lived in many different areas of the country and have seen a few Halloweens in my time. I loved Halloween as a child, mostly because of the candy, but maybe a bit because of the excitement that it brings. All of my childhood memori...

When I first heard that phrase, I shrugged it off as the result of a bad transaction between the agent and his client at some point. Then I heard it again, and again, and again. I still have to fight the urge to argue the point. After all, I have great clients and I have no issues with them. Or d...

Weekends are my Prime Time. They're usually the times when I make my money because that's when my clients are ready to look at houses. The majority of my clients are from the NY and NJ markets and are looking to move to Wilkes-Barre, PA or the surrounding areas. This makes my weekends sometimes a...

I have to laugh at myself. I really do, because there's nothing else for me to do about it. I received a sign call this morning on my cell phone from an out of state buyer who drove in to Wilkes-Barre for the day and wanted to see one of my listings. I told the gentleman that I was going to be bu...
