Seattle / Bellevue Real Estate Agent - Peter Mann

      At least that's what our key boxes SHOULD read...   I had never thought twice about the strength and design of the mls key boxes we use. I would assume that realtors across the country use the same thing, but here in suburban Seattle we use the typical electronic key box with the little bac...

Area 51 has been exposed! My imagination is now depressed :-(   What do you mean UFO's aren't real?!? That was a joke people... humor me here. We all knew that the whole UFO/Aliens thing was a big hoax from the start, but at least it allowed our imaginations to run wild. What fun it was to envis...

  INCOMPETENCE "IF YOU CAN CAST DOUBT ON THE ABILITIES AND SKILLS OF OTHERS, THERE IS NO END TO THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN FAIL AT WITHOUT BEING NOTICED"   EXAMPLE   It has been quite a while since I have last posted a blog on AR (and unfortunately this posting is also a negative one), but as I sit ...

I felt that the ActiveRain community could use another Friday laugh. This was sent to me by my wife. It is extremely cheesy, it is pointless and it won't fix anything, but then again, NEITHER WILL THE BAILOUT! Enjoy...   Mole Family A papa mole, a mama mole, and a baby mole all live together In ...

No biggy... it's only money right?   If you look up the word corruption, you will find defining words such as Wall Street, Government, etc. It is what it is and there is nothing we can do about it except piss and moan and wish we could make a difference. When (not if) the Senate approves the bil...

"You know you can put lipstick on a bad Realtor. It's still a bad Realtor"   Hello AR! It has been a little while since I last blogged, but I am back and would love to share my most recent experience. As Realtors we have all dealt with opposing agents, some of which are pleasant and some that sh...

Mr Buyer, do you have a crystal ball? First of all, I find it hilarious how everybody is an expert these days :-) With msnbc, local news, zillow, etc, everybody seems to be a real estate expert! I had a buyer prospect tell me last night that the reason he is not willing to make a move on a prope...

Okay, okay... maybe this is a little uncalled for, but at least it made me laugh :-) It's Monday people... humor me :-)
