Phillip,

It has really worn thin with people not being accountable for their own decisions and actions.  I along with many Realtors try our dead level best to assist home buyers and sellers with their real estate needs.  These sort of lawsuits mostly serve to make others just look for something and somebody to sue.  When there is true neglect, greed and misrepresentation, then I will be the first one to say that those people need to be thrown out of their profession, but too many hard working, dedicated agents are getting caught in this ridiculous trap.

Today is Friday and the official opener is tomorrow I am at Big Sandy Lodge and Resort right now as I post this Blog. The energy is very powerful here at the Lodge people are signing up for the tournament as we sit here and enjoy a beverage and talk about are favorite spots on the lake to fish for Walleye!

This year the Ice went out really late it was April 30Th at 2pm with that being said the water is still very chilly and the Walleyes may possibly be still in spawn.

That being said the bite just might be like a frenzy!! if that is the case I would encourage all anglers to release the big females and let them spawn practice CPR ~ Catch Photo Release. Good luck to all this 2008 opener..... Remember to take a Kid Fishing!!

I have no clue who Eddie Carr is but I removed the link in his post since it looked like he was comment spamming a post from November.

Hi Kevin,

I think the products you are seeing ripped out are older and original versions that have now been perfected.  Same with most newer products, the originals have flaws that are corrected over time.

Sarah--

I'm a real estate agent in Miami.  The comment that resonates the most with me is that people hate the hollow-sound when you walk on it;  It reminds them of PERGO.

Unfortunately, here in Miami, people are not as eco-conscious as they are in the northwest.

The PWR Trade Show was very well attended.  And, our Southern California CRS booth was literally mobbed with interested REALTORS®.  Donna Sutton and   I have worked many trade shows in the past and we both agreed we've never had this kind of response.  The people were keenly interested in what CRS and our Chapter have to offer. 

Hats off to each of you who have already acquired this honorable designation.  And congrats to all those who are taking the first step toward becoming CRS's this year!

Bamboo floors are great in theory heinous in reality.

Most people after purchasing a property with bamboo usually rip them out.

The old addage "to make money you have to have money" and you're stuck in a catch-22! LOL

But if you do your research, there are taxes due that are under $100, versus having to pay thousands on say a waterfront property. People don't pay their taxes for a myriad of reasons, maybe there was a divorce and both spouses believed the other took care of the bill. Or if there's a death of the homeowner, and there are no heirs, or all family members live far away.

It's much like the person who hunts for a bargain every time they go shopping. They know they want an Ipod for example, but don't want to pay full price, so they start doing their research. They look on-line for used, in the paper, or even eBay--garage saling in your pj's!

It's the same with Tax Liens. You have to do your research, not just to make sure it's a valid, not government owned easement, but to match the budget you do have. I know tax bills in the Northwest Florida area for 1/4 lots with a double-wide mobile home on them where the annual tax bill is less than $100. It can be found--just not on the beachfront, or waterfront. As with any type of investment, you start small and gradually increase as your funds increase.

A early mentor of mine gave me this gem to ponder, the simplicity  amazing yet a tough doctorine to follow.

When everyone wants to sell, you buy. When everyone wants to buy, you sell. So basic, yet so tought to do.

We live in a free market economy, a lot of rules and regs, but in the end it is buyer beware. Everyone knows what they are signing, and if not, they should. Where is personal responsability?

Every day in the communities I see people asking about a good or service AFTER they have already bought.

Due diligence.

I have an HP tablet pc  that i purchased at NAR convention. I have tried to find classes on using it to its best advantage, but have been unable to find any. Does anyone know of hands on training to the tablet pc?

I wish I would have had my better camera with me when the manatees were there.  I did as best as I could with my cell phone.  The manatees are harmless, HUGE creatures.  I know they are harmless but the day I back into one, it scared the heck out of me!  Pelican Bay is a lovely place to live.  The beauty this place has to offer is difficult to explain to anyone.
