Hi Mike,
Your week sounded very enjoyable! My fav:
" 1.Spent quality time with my family over the holiday"
Have a great weekend!
Stay positive and keep posting positive. It is contagious.
Thanks.........
OK, I'll add one happening right now:
Finally got new front door installed after 3 weeks fo delays!!
And regionally, we got enough rain in the Tampa Bay area that they are reducing some water restrictions.
Let's hear it for the positive -- thank you for posting. Positive thoughts have an effect! :)
Just had a cash buyer back out of an offer and postpone buying indefinitely ... so now I can do all of those other 'life' things instead of handling the details of the escrow -- starting with game 6 of the NBA western conference finals. Then it's back to the real estate game tomorrow!
Most of us had Monday off!! Love that one
Yeah for positive!
Let's see, I had two closings this week. I completed two courses for my Broker's License. My youngest son bought his ticket to fly up to Alaska and go fishing with me this July and my marigold seeds are sprouting!
Nice list - I like it!
1> Wrote three contracts two were accepted, one rejected
2> Listed a home on Friday, sold on Saturday
3> Listed a home on Monday, 4 contracts by Friday
4> Told a buyer who wanted to shop agents on listings to find someone else
5> Started helping someone avoid foreclosure - every little bit helps
6> Played cards - lost money - but playing is the best part
7> Watched the kids little league games...wow life was so much simpler then!
Have a great weekend!
1. Got off early on Memorial Day.
2. Found some really cool sandstones with my real estate partner and she got her hands dirty - HA!
3. Had one closing this week.
4. Stayed in my jammies until 1 in the afternoon on Tuesday.

8. Graduation taking place in our area and local towns are b-u-z-z-i-n-g with excitement! I did my Thursday's Tune blog about it. GREAT thing about living in a small rural area.....doesn't take much to excite us! :-)

Instead of wishing you had won the power ball this week, think aren't I glad I do not have mountains of debt. Think you are rich if you are happy, are healthy, have family, are not hungry and the basics. Then move on to knowing you make yourself happy, not other people. That's not their job. Good post!
Positive post, I like this... Good stuff for me this week:
1. multiple offers received on home 2 days after listing it
2. reconnected with 5 long lost contacts on facebook
3. received a great offer on a rental listing
4. set up a "group" on facebook for fun, & to learn how to do it for real estate (and people are joining group which is interesting too)
5. my home office is pretty well organized after a little time spent on it
Cheers for a great weekend y'all!
Spent Memorial Day weekend helping an active member of the US Army buy a house.
Received 20 good leads from my website this week - and converted at least half to be current or future clients.
Was complimented by a client for my punctuality.
Watched my boys play baseball.
I think TLW needs to think outside the box. Humor is the best medicine.
On a somewhat positive note, I counseled two people with cancer about my experience at MD Anderson. I am sorry for the cancer but I am grateful that I can help and give hope. It is not enough just to survive.

3. I saw the new Star Trek movie.
4. My son finished his first year of middle school with good grades.

3 closings this week!!
1. My parents sold their home, and are moving to Sacramento from Las Vegas... Finally, after harping on them for years. They're in their mid-eighties and I need them closer.
2. My escrow is proceeding even tho their is a registered sex offender living next door.
3. 2 Closed escrows.
Those 3 are good enough.... a great week. Thanks for asking!
One generous closing this week, and one set for next week.
This is testimony that things are getting better out there!! This post is a breath of fresh air!! For me...no offers this week but three new listings. One closing that I thought was lost was revived and I anticipate receiving two offers on Short Sale listings next week.
OK, I am always hessitant to do this, but of course, being accountable is what it's all about right!
Many years ago I lost 40 pounds on an accountable group, so I know it works.
I appreciate this opportunity!
Here goes...
After a perfect weekend camping at Thousand Trails Morgan Hill California, with my 4 kids 2 dogs and wonderful husband.

Wednesday I hit the door knocking, for my client to move to the perfect neighborhood,
met some wonderful new people
Thursday took the kids to Cal Skate, the school fundraiser (talked to few people about Real Estate).
One of my friends asked about a home.
Friday I stayed at school for the flag ceremony, one of the Teachers asked me to run him a CMA, then upon returning him the info, he asked me if I can help some of his parent find a home, I said well, of course!
I sent over another possible home to my friend, the one she asked about is already sell pending.
I can't wait for the next update!
