It’s been a week of 10 to 15 hour work days; I’m not complaining, it’s been fun working with five buyers whose housing needs/wants could not be more different. Makes life interesting for this real estate lady. But….and you knew there was a but. Having several buyers requires a lot of Internet browsing and home [...]

Quiet Sunday? Let’s Browse The Web
July 26th, 2009 · No Comments
There is a lot to recommend this week, starting with Been Seen’s feature of the Futuro. Truly Jetson-like, apparently these things were built in the 60′s. I don’t think they fly but would you live in a house like this? My geeky self watches CSPAN’s Brian Lamb and others interview authors. Have you ever explored [...]

CNN’s John Sutter posted 10 sites to play ‘new music’ in this article today. The article makes it sound like a new trend, but it’s not all that new anymore is it? They mention sites like Blip FM and Napster (you have to have lived in a cave not to know Napster). And yes, Blip [...]

Appropriate no? I heard about this when David and Dan Marburger’s idea was first brought to light.

Two Neighborhoods With More Listings Than Last Year?
July 9th, 2009 · No Comments
For about two years, there were not a lot of people contacting me to list their homes for sale in zip codes 44144 or 44109. I had buyers in these neighborhoods but only one listing in two years. All that has changed, and the rest of the agents in my office feel the same way. [...]
