Hi again! Hope all is well with everyone. I have started putting all my prospects in one area and I have found 17 potential buyers. Go figure. I have a few I the first step of getting approved for a loan and contracts on two others. I will be working on converting them over in the next few days. More later!

My life as a realtor
What a couple of days. We finally got the Post St. home under contract and it almost fell apart. We started the day yesterday with an $80,000 offer and almost went to nothing. We signed today on a $78,500 and we close in the morning. WOW! I've never worked harder in my life.
I have been really busy this last week. Two agents went out of town and left me there business. I had 7 listings for a while. Now 1 sold and got an offer on another one. Two 3rd showings on another one and 3 were taken back from the agent. She came back.
From that i may have 4 more buyers and a possible 5th. Lets see if ol' Brian can handle it.
More later!

My life as a realtor
Hi all! We made it back from Driggs and I got Busy. We have had 3 written offers and 3 other verbal offers on the Post st. house. My client won't budge on the price that low though. I have picked up a few new buyers from no homes for them yet. I hope to have a few contracts later this month and get some closings soon.
I picked up a few more paint jobs lately and I can't seem to stop. The law of attraction works!

What a wonderful day! We are in Driggs ID right now staying with Britt's parents. It is so nice here. The high fro today is only 90 degrees and they think that is hot. There will be a pretty cool show on main st. tonight. It is called Music on Main here. I'll let you know how it is.
Our listing has got a few offers on it. Nothing under contract at this point. I'll let you know when we do.

My life as Your Realtor
Hi all! Hope all is well in your life. Things have been great!
I just picked up a new listing that should be signed today and on the MLS by tonight! It is a great little property perfect for a flip. It is worth $130,000.00 remodeled and is selling for $90,000.00. It is mostly gutted so most of the demo is done. I have a few people interested already. We are doing a seller financing with $25,000.00 down and the remainder at a 9% interest for a year with a balloon for the remainder.
I also picked up a listing lead for another cute little home on the east bench for $500,000.00 or more. This is the perfect home for an executive with a growing family. It is 4 beds and 2 full baths. Nice little yard and a beautiful neighborhood.
More latter!

is hell."
