I got an email from my wife.
You wouldn't be interested in the bulk of the content.
It was a little philosophical, and a little personal.
But, at the end, it had a little admonition that I think expressed a priority most of us will understand and share.

"P. S.. Save the earth.. It's the only planet with chocolate."
Works for me.

Who's following you on Twitter? Are you telling your personal business to countless people you don't know?
Seeing reports from across the country.
"Man Tweets while on vacation. Comes home to ransacked house."

Smart Tweet:
"Just home from a week at the beach. Great sun, surf, seafood."

Less Smart Tweets:
"Off to the beach for a week. Back next Sunday"
"Going out for Gulf Stream fishing today. See you tomorrow....

We sometimes see folks lamenting that some Sellers won't meet their offer price on properties. "Buyers' Market" and all that.
I had a few thoughts on this, clarifications of what Sellers' rights are.
To keep it simple:

The builder is typically what we call a "Seller" or an "Owner."
The "Owner" has property rights and that includes the right to accept an agreeable offer.

The offer comes from what we call a "Buyer."...

First-Time Home Buyers often ask me this.
It seems that they are concerned about wasting a real estate agent's time.

The right answer is: "As many as you need to feel comfortable in your choice."

There is no quota.
There is no "NO MORE HOMES FOR YOU!"

Sometimes, Buyers end up in the first home they see, and sometimes that is only after we view another 25 or 30 homes.
They may need to confirm the selection, feel confident...
