Maybe for free…  Maybe for $999.

The simple fact is that not all sellers NEED a real estate agent.  I have some folks I working with right now that have moved 38 times in 30 years.  They have bought and sold 38 different homes in 30 years.  In real estate terms, they have transacted 76 sides.   [...]

You’ve seen the commercials.  They are all over cable TV, and as a buyer or seller, it is an interesting idea…
Get new listings as soon as they are available from JustListed

There is a comedian… and I can’t for the life of me find her name… if you know it, PLEASE tell me, because I want the clip…

She has a bit about men grilling.  The set up is basically this…

Those of you that have been reading me for a while know that i love to tell a story.  Often, the story has a hidden meaning.  Honestly, I got this from my Dad.  He loved a good story.  And there was always a point.

I’m not actually a beer drinker, but my best friend has a passion for micro-brews.  Being a good friend, as I traveled around the country, I often picked up brews for him.  He liked them more than a trinket, and there was always a cold Coke at his house for me whenever we were wrenching [...]

Embrace change…

I was looking for the clip in Wayne’s World where Rob Lowe’s character asks Garth (Dana Carvey) what he thinks of the changes to Wayne’s World as it goes corporate.

In the clip, Garth replies to Rob Lowe, “Change?  We fear change.”

I see that as all too true.  But, change is here to stay.  It [...]

It has been quite a while since I wrote about Buyer’s Agency… or having a Buyer/Broker Agreement (BBA) with the agent that helps you find a home.  So, it’s time…
What is a Buyer/Broker Agreement?
Simply put, it is a contract between a buyer and their agent to clarify for whom the agent works for.  Don’t let [...]

There is a big change coming to GarageHomesUSA and LaneBailey.com.  We’ve been working on this a little while and we’re almost ready to go public.

What I can say right now is that I will be adding another blog (I guess the three aren’t enough) that will be focused on one area in Gwinnett County.  GarageHomesUSA [...]
