Just a couple of quick SEPTA Update points for residents and those visiting the region: If you need access to public transportation on only a day-to-day basis, SEPTA has now added 3 new passes: the One Day Independence Pass, the Family One Day Independence Pass, and the One Day Convenience Pass.  The primary differences between the Convenience Pass and the Independence Passes are that the Convenience Pass can not be used on the regional Rail Lines and is limited to only 8 trips.  The Independence Pass only places limits on the regional Rail Lines prior to 9:30 AM. All three passes are designed to make using the system as easy as possible.  If you only need access to the SEPTA system while visiting for a short time, these options allow more flexibility then the traditional Weekend Passes... 07/28/2009

Good Day Rainers!Do any of you offer feedback on your showings to the listing agent if they don't ask for it? I normally don't but this weekend, I felt that I had to. If I were a listing agent and someone showed my listing and knew that there was no way in hell it would sell, I would really want the feedback whether I asked for it or not.Home #1Me and my buyers pull up to the home which looked beautiful from the outside. There is a family standing outside looking around. When we walk up to the home, we find out that they have been standing there waiting for their agent to show up and show them the house. (I'll get into that in another post.) Anywho, they ask if they can go in and take a look around until their realtor gets there and I say, "Sure, I'm sure your agent will be here shortly... 02/04/2008
