Lake Sinclair: we love it, we know it, & we sell it

Tomorrow I'll attend the services for a friend from high school, taken too soon.  I'm a person of faith and when I've lost friends I've usually been at peace because of my faith.  This time I'm not at all feeling peace, I'm angry. My dear friend was murdered. It's been a long time since a murder ...

Literally for a decade our market was a heavy buyers market with lots of inventory and bargain basement prices, but you know what they say about hindsight being 20/20... well the bottom of the market was 2012 and it's in the rear view mirror folks.  For the next 4 years we rocked along at the bot...

Wednesday was the day I got to babysit this week.  I brought the little dude to the office and while he didn't love being out of his environment we both made it through.  He took a couple of little cat naps and I stuffed some work into those minutes.  But getting to snuggle him up at bedtime and ...

I have been very absent from ActiveRain for a long time.  Life has been pretty busy and so has real estate.  But sometimes you find something that is so share worthy that I feel it would be a shame not to share this video I ran across this morning. I'm making a vow to make something unexpected ha...

Cooper is 8 weeks old today.  He has the best expressions I've ever seen from a baby (including my own daughter, but don't tell her I said so).  I am totally loving baby sitting and spending as much time with this baby as I can. the current photo is on the left and his newborn one on the right.  ...

This week I was swamped, totally 100% swamped.  I had two listing appointments that lasted until past 7 p.m. and three closings.  Today I got home after 8 and Donald had eaten dinner without me. But I was getting that listing in the MLS before the weekend and uploading a contract on a foreclosure...

I have loved my daughter for more than 30 years even though she isn't quite 30 years old yet.  I believe my grandson looks a lot like his daddy, but today when I saw a photo of him sleeping yesterday it reminded me a photo of his mama sleeping the day I brought her home from the hospital. He has ...

When was the last time you bought property? When I started in this business 26 years ago all agents and brokers worked for the seller and buyers were really just on their own. But in Georgia that legally changed in 1994 when BRETTA was introduced. BRETTA stands for Brokerage Relationships in Real...

It was a tough day today.  When I showed my Donald the long list of calls on my cell phone today it took me 5 minutes to keep scrolling through the pages.  A new listing photo appointment.  A new REO photo fact finding mission (oh it was SO bad) A long call with my new website guy. A couple of di...

I recall with fondness the client who first did a review without me asking. I also fully admit that I was a little nervous when I found said client had posted said review BEFORE closing.  I never ever pick up a lockbox or sign before closing for fear of jinxing the deal.  I'd certainly never ever...
