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

First the Astros cheated and stole the world series.... I'm beyond upset they get to keep that title.  Then they changed the name of our park to that stupid new Truiest name that is Sun Trust intertwined with BB&T (neither are my favorite) and now Donaldson has signed with the twins.It was also a...

There is just never a dull moment in my family.  If you'd asked me last week if my husband would be spending new year's eve away from me or spending 11 days in Hawaii without me I would have said "absolutely not". I'm pretty sure my tone would have been "are you crazy" when I was saying absolutel...

Cut live trees weighted down and put in the lake are great fish habitat. That's generally what happens to our tree annually.  Now you'll want to use common sense. Don't put it at the end of your dock where you will be jumping into the water once summer arrives, don't put it where you will drag yo...

You know sometimes in the south people say "hold my beer" and do something stupid.  Well my craziest transaction ever is like the owner said "hold my beer and watch me go off my meds".  It wasn't "MY" listing, but I was the broker so it was one of my agent's listings.  She got an appointment for ...

There were some people along my path that helped me become the person I am today. If I talked about all them you wouldn't get to read to end of this post, but I do want to mention a few stand outs that crossed my path.First my third grade teacher, Montene Dickey.  She loved to read and she tried ...

First of all, I'm ever so grateful for the agents that do and have in the past worked for me.  I've lost some over the 25 years, some retired and moved, some passed away and some remain.  What I can say is no one ever left my company and went to work for someone else locally in real estate and th...

I try to keep a friendly tone at all times when dealing with other agents. I smile and say thank you for really stupid offers and just deal with that I have to deal with.  I have my list of pet peeves from agents who just simply do not understand tech to those who chicken scratch contracts instea...

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...
