My brothers and sons give me a hard time about being "cold hearted" and usually I'm so busy trying to keep ahead of the game selling real estate in southwest Missouri that I don't have time to even watch the hundred little jokes and videos that hit my inbox,  but I have to admit that this one tou...

Being Number one isn't always the best thing to be. Since 2003, Missouri has ranked number one in most meth busts in the nation. But as of yesterday we relinquish that title to ........ Tennessee. With the success of the Academy Award winning movie Winter's Bone,most of the nation hears the name ...

After a long day of showing property, I suggested a pizza from one of my favorite pizza places in Springfield, MO. So my office partner tried the number to order my favorite, which is a cream cheese based pizza, but to my dismay, he closed his phone and said that they are out of business.

Hey guys, One of my reall...

Yesterday I spent some time looking at some year-end numbers released by the Greater Springfield Board of Realtors. And just like the previous year, the number of active members on our local mls has dropped again. In December of 2009 there were 1997 active agents in the Springfield area. It had d...

      Numbers Don't Lie After a couple of weeks of a bad weather, my bathroom scales have become my worst enemy. This morning was no exception when I caught myself shouting, "You liar" before remembering the chocolate turtle that I consumed from Andy's Frozen Custard yesterday afternoon. Let's be...

I wish I could give credit to where the credit is due, but I can't. But think about all the Active Rain blogs that you have read and well..... just too many to keep track of. Anyway, I'm a relative late-comer to the AR having only discovered it about a year ago. A banker that I used back then su...

As real estate professionals we can all relate to how important the cell phone has become in our daily life. An understatement I know, but really can you imagine a day, no half a day without your cell phone? Exactly. Anyway, we also sometimes forget that to some people, a cell phone is right out...
