Pamela Madore Keller Williams Realty Pamela Madore Mortgage http://www.iloveamarillo.com/contact/ Have you ever done something and thought oh (imagine the word) I can't believe I did that?  How stupid!  Well, I did it. I am teaching an amazing class at Keller Williams Realty called Ignite.  It is mostly for new agents but new and old come.  It is a 4 week class meeting 3 times a week.   Part of the homework for them is to increase the people in their address book by 200 in the 4 weeks.   Well,  if you are like just about everyone else in the world, you will find reasons why that is too much to do in the amount of time we have.  Granted it is a lot.  However, if we are going to build our businesses we need our friends and family and networking contacts to help us.  Agreed?

Pamela Madore Keller Williams Realty Real Estate in The Wild West of Amarillo circa 1880 Real Estate Auction in Amarillo I get curious a lot and I wondered what real estate sales looked like when Amarillo first came about.   I got this information from a lot of different places so I don't guarantee it is all accurate.  Louis L'Amour is my favorite author, too, so you never know what could pop up. Let's just say it is an overall composite fact and fiction (mostly fact).  Potter County was organized August 30, 1887 at which time it had 164 voting citizens.  It is 30 miles square and contains 630,000 acres of land of which 325,000 are school lands that can be taken up by settlers and prospectors in tracts of from 160 to 640 acres. I always wondered why we have this Potter/Randall line in t...

Canyon, TX is one of the best cities for small town business support. And just to show how much support your small business would get, I have business success story to share with you. It’s stories like this that help make the community of Canyon, TX an even better place to live when it comes to community, family and work.

The US Fish & Wildlife Service is hosting a public meeting December 15, 2009 and needs public input on a management plan for the Buffalo Lake National Wildlife Refuge.  The buffalo may not roam the area any longer and nature doesn't manage the land itself anymore, but the federal government does and they want to hear what local Canyon, Texas residents have to say.  Tuesday's meeting will help the government get input from locals and hear what they want to consider in the creation of a comprehensive management plan that is meant to guide the agency's leadership at the refuge over the next 15 years.

I recently read one of the most inspirational and touching stories about a young Canyon, Texas man. Seventeen-year-old, Mark England is a 6' 1" 260 left guard for the Rebels. Mark fills the pulpit of his church each Sunday night with a guitar over his large chest and belts out "Precious Memories" in a deep strong voice. Then he asks the church members and visitors to bow in prayer. Mark is a young, associate preacher at Bethel Baptist Church in Canyon. The Good Lord has answered many of Mark's prayers by giving him the chance to preach to his congregation for 36 minutes each Sunday night. When Mark preaches, he doesn't shout and his hands are rarely still, but he does deliver a very strong message that comes across loud and clear. He also mixes humor with Scripture to keep all eyes and ...
