No Commission is Worth Your Life   An agent in our area went on a listing appointment . The house looked run down , Upon entering the house the seller locked the door behind her . The home was in disarray and had a horrible smell . She had a sinking feeling in her stomach that something was amiss as the seller approached her .He was also unclean . She asked the seller to move away he would not . She told him she had no desire to list his house and to please step aside . He became angry and moved closer . She did manage to open the door and get out of the house to safety. This is a true story . I first read this alert on Facebook.

Am I the Dinosaur in the Real Estate World Today  ?  I was reading an article today and listening to agents talking about not having to meet with clients in person  . Social media devices ,cell phones , texting ,doc u sign this was the way to go .   But I feel it is better to sit down with your clients face to face and get a better understanding of who they are and what they want .  I also am against meeting strangers at properties . I also like to explain the process of buying a house the first time I meet with clients . I go over the agreement of sale so when we find the perfect house all the paper work is not overwhelming . If they have any questions we can address them at this time  . I have them bring their financial information and have a member of a bank or mortgage company prese...

Daylight Savings Time Fall Back Change Clocks Turn Back one Hour  Every Year we wonder what do we do when we change the clocks .The easiest way to remember this is Fall back . In the spring we move forward . I have always dreaded this time of year . It gets dark early and every day earlier.I do hate to drive home in the dark .

It is said that Daylight Savings Time is an accomplice for hundreds of traffic deaths ever year .  A question arises is Daylight Savings  Time really still necessary ?   The loss of day light is also said to have a negative effect on our health. It has an opposite effect in the spring when we receive extra daylight . There are many issues that may surprise you . Day Light Savings Time when you...
