"Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm." (Churchill) - from the Jack's Winning Words Blog that I so frequently find to be inspirational. Boy, do Churchill's words apply to our lives in real estate today or what? They are especially applicable for those dealing with sh...

"We are where we are. If we keep moving, we'll be someplace else." (Michael J. Fox) from the Jack's Winning Words Blog that I often reference and use. According to Jack's post, this was the answer that Michael J. Fox used with his children when they ask the "Are we there yet?" question. I suppose...

Anyone who has traveled with small children is certainly familiar with that impatient refrain - Are we there yet? We are also seeing and hearing it about a recovery from the current recession. There are stories every few days in the papers or on the TV news about hopeful signs of a recovery, ort...

The heat creates random motion in the water molecules and eventually might even make it boil. Random motion doesn't really ...

"Whoever desires constant success must change his/her conduct with the times."  (Machiavelli) from the Jack's Winning Words blog. That Machiavelli was one smart dude and what he said back in his day certainly applies right now in the very changeable times in which we live. If there was ever a tim...

There are now several noted economists who are calling the bottom of this recession, including ex-Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, who must be taken with a grain of salt since he was a contributor to getting us into this economic mess. Most are still weasel-wording their claims, as economists are wa...

I've been working with a number of potential buyers who might be classified as low-income buyers. They are trying to buy homes that are under $50,000, because that's what they can afford. Many, if not most,of the houses that fall into that price range are bank-owned these days. What's happening w...
