"A Quick Note"

Arriving after dark to conduct a signing isn't always fun...                                         In an area I know well, it is usually not a problem.  But sometimes, after finding the correct address, I can look up and down the street to find no empty spaces for what seems like a half a mile....

We've all been grinding to find new business...and then, grinding some more!Maintaining that positive outlook means persevering when nothing good is happening...or so it seems.It means exploring your options when they are few, smiling when you feel like everything but, and finding that ray of hop...

If you choose to ask a notary to back-date or otherwise "color outside the lines" you may be engaging in a no-no yourself.  While many RE professionals spend weeks, even months getting a deal together and servicing their clients so-as to cross every "t" and dot every "i", it never fails to amaze ...

For you sailors in the crowd, you'll recognize this helmsmans cry for when he is turning the craft on a new tack.  The cry "Helms alee!!" warns all hands to hang on, as the ship will tilt and rise at a new direction and angle of the wind.   I have been taken to task regarding the content of my la...
