You've probably heard of the books "If you give a Moose a muffin" or "If you give a mouse a cookie", but how about If you give a Realtor a referral? I've been away at a conference all week and with a pinch of ADD, my mind wanders and zany ideas come about. So, here goes, "If you give a Realtor a

For me, thankfulness is appreciating everyday. Some days are tough and some days are full of fluff and fun. Nobody would choose life if they knew they would only have bad days. Good days make the bad ones seem less important, but we all know life is made up of all kinds of days.I look at tough ti

I once heard a speaker say, "It's not death we have to fear; it's not living." What a powerful statement. I don't know how many times I've had someone say, "I could never do that," about something I was doing. I'm not talking about skydiving or hang-gliding. I'm talking about living. Life is full

I am incredibly blessed to have some of the best pros in the business in my arena of work. From the lenders, home inspectors, contractors, non-profit organizations to the closing agents who make every deal work, I'm blessed. With a phone call, text or email, they will come to my aid without hesi

For me, thankfulness is eating the hay and leaving the sticks. If a horse has enough sense to only eat the hay and leave the sticks, surely intelligent people like us should be able to do the same, right? What does this have to do with real estate and life? Lots. I've been very open about my hist

If I were to ask, "What is treasure to you?" I would get a lot different answers, but I have one answer that hasn't changed for 36 years. My wife, Buffy, is the greatest treasure in my life. I've written about her many times, but I never get tired of sharing how blessed I am. I still call her "th

I'm beyond blessed to have a healthy body. I've mentioned in previous blogs that I am the oldest surviving male in my family. My father died at 56, my uncle at 36 and my grandfather at 48. All three died of heart disease. When I approached my father's age, my sons kept a death vigil for me. They

I guess at this stage of my career, I'm one of the old guys in this business. I recently heard that there are more Realtors in the US than ever before. That's a good economic indicator. When the economy is healthy, people run to sell real estate. Why? Because it's easy money, right? Aaaaa, not so

I've worn a lot of hats in my life, but the one I wear today is definitely a favorite. I never intended on being a Realtor, or a broker. I've often thought fate chooses our path, and this is definitely one that was chosen for me. My real estate adventures, prior to becoming a licensed agent, were

For me, thankfulness is enjoying freedom. I feel incredibly blessed to live in this country. I've traveled widely, and personally, there is no better place to live. Sure, we have our warts and foibles. We don't always agree, or even like each other sometimes, but you'll find that in other countri
