Don't you just hate it when your REO hasn't sold in two or three months and they contact you to do an updated one!  I got the call today.  So I've been working all night, up til now, on pulling comps and filling out forms and cursing agents who don't have enough information on their listings.I gu...

This made the rounds on the internet a few years ago and I hate that stuff usually but this one was funny to me. You have to read it and carefully note the difference in the tone of the letters and the signatures....I picked it off the internet from this link  http://www.dezert-rose.com/humor/chr...

Some days are so slow the email can barely make it through.  The spammers are almost asleep and forget to send the multitude of emails that they usually fly off.Today for me was a different kind of day.  It rained all day but the personal property auction that was held in one of our houses that h...

This is just an observation based on the traffic that I battle on our busy freeway.  Of course, I'm in the South, Arkansas to be exact, and our traffic will be different from those of you in huge cities and in other states.As I travel to and from work and during work, the fastest vehicles are pic...

I wrote a glowing report last week about TreoTricks in California who repaired my Treo 650, which had a speaker problem that seems to be common to the 650.  I said he made it better than new and repaired a few glitches that I couldn't figure out how to fix.Well, dad-gummit, today the speaker has ...

Possibly if you were once a school teacher, you will remain a teacher all your life in some form or another.My present teaching or preaching is regarding a contract where the buyer is asking the seller to pay for the buyer's closing expenses.Invariably, the contract will state this.  "Seller will...

I do get frustrated from time to time because agents seem to overlook the very simple things about a contract. I nearly always get a contract that starts with the name or names.  One will say "Bob Smith" as the one offering to buy the property.  The agent only had to ask Mr. Smith for his FULL na...

This particular listing is a nice house.  It has high ceilings, is all brick, has wood windows, 2800 sq. ft. of living space, hardwood floors, several acres, double oven, Jennaire stove-top and lots of other great features.  But in our MLS there is one photo.  We can put in 12 pictures.  When the...

It happened again today.  I found the REO that had to be rekeyed and started taking my photos for the estimate of value.  It looks like some folks were busy as beavers working on this old house.  There were indications of someone perhaps living in it for awhile.  They had drawers in the kitchens ...
