Neigh, neigh! I say. Taking a humorous approach in business has kept me from becoming a cynical person, especially when unforeseen or contrived circumstances present. Let's face it, not everything that happens in real estate is positive and uplifting! Things may go south, sellers become frustrated, buyers get agitated, their agents quite often carry the brunt of the situation. Preventing unnecessary drama in a transaction can be done when everyone remains to the professional side.  Hold onto what makes you happy. If it tries to buck you off, just hold on tighter! Unwise for those that get caught up in the transactional drama along with their buyer/seller clients.  It’s uncomfortable to be anywhere close to that.

Word of Mouth Advertising is BEST! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟  As my buyer client and I stepped into the vacant house that was first on the list to preview, we were met in the hallway by a handyman finishing up a few repairs.

Nerdin Gardens: Hint O’ Fall Cool evenings whispering of summer tales gone by,Morning sun beams misting on high in yonder's sky.Garden flowers strewing seeds all upon the cooler ground,Springing up in hopes of resurrecting, coming back around.Through threaded tree boughs, restless birds are caw calling,Joyfully singing in awed celebration that Autumn is indeed falling! ~Wanda Kubat-Nerdin in Nerdin Gardens As the seasons turn in preparation of immanent change, so is the local real estate market.

KISS my WHAT?! Believe it or not, the concept of KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) was coined by the U.S. Navy as part of their systems goals. In design school, the same phrase became a desired result to be gained by avoiding the overly-complicated. My professor told me that people in business prefer an informed, straight forward approach, rather than sugar-coating or beating around the bush to prove a point. That advice stuck and determines how I continue to practice. "So the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is making a chore for the reader who reads." ~Dr. Suess From the time, I get the call for real estate guidance, everything becomes set in motion. Diligently working behind the scenes, to gather all necessary information that becomes an integral part of the real estate transac... 09/21/2023
