OPEN HOUSE how would believe

Have you ever had one of those days when your not sure just what to say..... I was preparing for an open house in a vacate home in a very nice subdivision, the home sat on a hill with a large tree in the front yard almost like Mrs Cravat's neighbor. Kids playing in the yards close by the sun is shinning and the birds were spring a beautiful day for an Open House.

I arrived at the home to set up, I entered the house turning on all the lights, arranging the cookies and paperwork and then settling down for the day. I had not been then only about 15 mins when the neighbor came over and will no hello and not missing a beat said "show me the room" I said "the room" well ya the room the boy went crazy and killed his father.... very long pause... he was crazy you know...which i did not know.

The neighbor made his way back to the back of the house to see what he thought was going to be a mess....arrive at the room you could see the disappoint that settle down on his face. Looking into the room which had been freshly painted and new carpet throughout. At which time he left. For the rest of the 2.5 hours the house made all the popping and creaking sounds you could image freaking me out just a little...As most of us know as agents someone being murdered in a home is not a defect of a home and does not have to be disclosure in most states unless you know and are asked about it.

2 weeks later a nice lady view the property fell in love with the home it was her dream home....until she did you due delinquency and found out the someone was killed in the home getting more details she cancel the contract due to the fact that she was the police office that arrested the boy she was aware of his mental state she would not be at the home if he was ever released. Knowing that is where he would return and she was not going to be there.

AND IF THAT IS NOT BAD HOW ABOUT HAVING YOUR OWN STOCKER!!

Foursquare in not just for grade school anymore

So just what is this new FOURSQUARE app... Foursquare is primarily for letting your friends know where you are and figuring out where they are. Secondarily, it's for collecting points, prize "badges," and eventually, coupons, for going about your everyday business.
For checking in...that is what it is called... you can become the mayor of that location leave tips for friends and get discounts along the way. MOST OF ALL IT FUN!!
PS.. never under estimate the power of social networking. I use foursquare all the time. One example is - I arrive at a hotel in the Boise Idaho area for my husband and son to attend a hockey game. Me and My daughter in law decide we wanted to get a massage. I went to talk with the concierge and was blown off. I posted a comment on the foursquare regarding the way I was treated as I checkin..
The next morning I received a call from the Hotel manager offering my family a FREE yes I said it FREE breakfast for the trouble and the way I was treated by their staff. In return the Hotel started following me on my Foursquare page.
It is so easy to get started go to FOURSQUARE sign up. Download the app on your phone invite your friends to follow you (you will be surprised just how many of your friends are already members) then create new friends all over the Country. See what fun you can have and the discounts your can find.

Foreclosure - Where will he sleep tonight!!


Let us not forget that People’s homes are tremendously important to them emotionally. It’s an American and human fact that we project our self image through the houses that we buy and redesign and where our children grow up — and to some measure it is our face to the community and to ourselves.”

When life changes let us not judge but understand one other, help where we can and lift where we stand.

A foreclosure or a short sale is not just the next deal it is someones story

LETS REMEMBER EVERY HOME HAS A STORY - Grab a tissue!!
