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

In the summer of 1999 my daddy was diagnosed with cancer.  Until  you've heard those words you can't really know what you feel.  My daddy was lucky that it was the slowest growing cancer there is and NOT lucky that after his surgery they couldn't say "you are cancer free" because they removed all...

In April 2018 my life changed forever.  Now don't get me wrong, my life was pretty great before that.  But if you have been given a title like "Grammy" you know how special it is.  If you haven't yet, but have kids then I hope some day you will know that love and joy like I do. Cooper had a rough...

I've had agents retire over the 24 years as a broker owner and that has usually been a celebration.  I have also had agents leave and they are no longer actively licensed, but have moved on to other avenues in life from stay at home mom to builder. But this week for the 3rd time I lost one becaus...

My first "adult" job was a school bookkeeper/Principal's secretary, I am grateful to Fabian for hiring me and teaching me a lot.  I was actually still a teenager, but married and paying my own bills.  After just a year the superintendent changed and he was out for blood with the principal I worke...

Recently a past client of Lane Realty (a retired agent) listed their home with another firm.  It's a home and a neighborhood (I grew up there) that I know well.  And within a few days one of my agents wrote an offer.  We negotiated for a week or so and then had a contract.  When the inspection wa...

You know the do not call list doesn't really help.  Not terribly long ago I actually clicked to talk to a human about "your Google business listing is not up to date" just to ask them to stop calling me.  It actually slowed the calls down for a few days. When a consumer asks me to stop calling or...

I ready a post today on Facebook that a dear friend wrote who is getting ready to watch her baby girl get married day after tomorrow.  She's wondering how it got here so fast.  I remember picking out my mother of the bride dress and dress shopping with my only daughter like it was yesterday... bu...

The one thing in this business that I've know I needed to do, but simply have NOT done before now is video featuring me.  I have done home videos with me behind the camera, but I just haven't gotten in front of the camera.  I have forever in family photo taking been the one holding the camera, no...

I want to share a story about a family I recently assisted in selling their home. It was a young family and they had small children and were nervous about moving to another state while having a vacant house here.  If you have every called your insurance company and let them know you'd moved and g...

It's been a rough beginning to 2019.  As is traditional for Sunday we went to Sunday School and church and then to eat lunch with my parents. We had just finished lunch and I was headed to work to type a counter offer because ... business is certainly good... when Donald got a phone call. When I ...
