The Talk
Last week my wife and I had the talk with our youngest. Not that “the talk”, the one about the man in the red suit. It went pretty well and I would like to share how we did it, just in case you are stuck. We started by having it at brunch on a Sunday. […]
Perspective
Perspective is important. I recently saw the following posted on a Realtor friend’s Facebook page. Perspective: In 1971 mortgage rates were 7.33%. If you waited to purchase a home until rates went down, you waited until 1993. You would have rented for 22 years. Meanwhile, the value of real estate QUADRUPLED! I found this information both […]
Words Matter

What is a patriot?
On 9/11 you often hear talk about patriotism and supporting troops and first responders. Much of the time these things are synonymous.
