So I decided to finally attend one of the LIBOR elections events.....  needless to say I was left a little bit dissappointed. The democratic process at the board level pretty much ends at senseless rhetoric and basically comes down to a popularity contest not even based on people's positions.  Why do i say this?  because in all of the ads the candidates just listed their resume and that they will help realtors and that they are the best choice......  umm DUH! Not that they are bad people... because i don't know them at all to even be able to say that they are or arent.... it just seems like i might as well shut my eyes or just go with my gut feeling. As far as the event went.  It was mediocre at best.  The vendors on site were great to talk to, however 6 vendors for an entire board does... 10/21/2008

What set out to be monthly blog turns out to be a quarterly one... there's always something happening or getting in the way!!! Challenging Times Well since the last time alot has changed in the markets as much of you have already known.  The good news is that if you arent watching the news business is just as busy as it was a few months ago.  Its the overall picture that is bleaker... for some at least As fewer transactions force out many from the industry, those that remain will have less competition.... and hopefully the less professional bodies will be the one to EXIT the industry... hehe... i had to throw that in there lol  On a different yet somewhat related note, the stock market irresponsibilities could bring about change for the real estate world.  In light of investment firm's ... 10/20/2008

      After Danny Thornton recommended this movie on his blog I just had to see it! Since he's already reviewed this film I'll be keeping it real short.  Click here to see the review that prompted me to seek out this flick. Here's a quick overview of this movie: A bunch of juvenile delinquents use a French riot as camouflage for their felony and flee from Paris into the countryside, where they decide to lay low in a hotel. The only problem is this hotel is run by a family of Cannibals that is happy to have them drop in for dinner! Trapped in an never-ending labyrinth of tunnels packed with starving subhuman cannibals, they must fight to live through their gory initiation into the innkeeper's wicked family cult. Check out the trailer below.             To find the value of your home wit... 06/13/2008

From the flick's first frames, Constantine is a captivating piece of suspense and action. It's an unusual creation, a comic book-based movie that actually raises some philosophical questions worth thinking about. It portrays guardians of the human race from the worlds beyond and it proposes a modern explanation of Biblical verses. Constantine has a unique story to tell. As a boy, John Constantine killed himself and went to Hell. However, his life after death was cut short by the zap of a defibrillator. He's been to Hell and back, literally. Constantine is a man desperately searching for salvation and trying to earn his way back into God's good graces. The story unfolds with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Also, it seems to play from the Old Testament a lot more than the Ne... 06/03/2008

Many experts recommend that you focus on the kitchen first when preparing your home for sale (This is crucial to your bottom line). For many potential buyers, the kitchen is the most important room in the house (a lot of time is spent in there).  Since the kitchen has the power to make or break an offer, you should do everything you can to enhance it before showing your home to buyers.  And, most experts agree that next to painting, improvements in the kitchen are the most profitable.  Remember though, money you spend here is a cost of selling, you don't want to do a full remodel, but rather take some affordable steps to show what you have in the best possible light. Start by creating space.  You want the kitchen to look large, light and roomy.  Clear the counters of all clutter.  Take ... 04/10/2008
