Lenders LOVE to fly through a smooth lending process just like home buyers do and just like agents do. Lenders encourage you to plan ahead and then stick to the plan through closing so the deal doesn't grow legs and walk away.

My first sale in 2013 was $240,000. Had I negotiated for $245,000 or $235,000 I would have made about $...

Today is one of those holidays I appreciate like a single dude on Valentine's... Administrative Professional's Day Here is a list of things my imaginary secretary is doing for me right now!

Last night I read a few chapters of The ONE Thing: The surprisingly simple truth behind extraordinary results by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. Now I'm reflecting on chapter five regarding multi-tasking.  "I hereby declare (confess) I am queen of, "Just one more thing!" And what thing is wrong with...
