When you close on a home, you get a wonderful gift at the closing table. A big fat folder full of documents that most people don’t understand and, frankly, don’t want to understand. The question often comes up, ‘what do I do with these’ or ‘do I have to keep these somewhere safe?’ Sounds familiar […]
Expansion of the MAC May Be Close!
March 18, 2008 by
Most of us who live in Edmond, especially NW Edmond, know about the MAC (Multipurpose Activity Center). It’s an amazing facility built a few years ago at Mitch Park, which offers many different activities and programs for Edmond residents. Talk is that the MAC is about to be expanded to include a branch of the YMCA, […]
Great New Blog Directory
March 18, 2008 by
As bloggers, we’re always looking for that next avenue of exposure. More exposure equates to more traffic. Ultimately, more traffic should mean we’re helping more people in our area of expertise. Today I stumbled across Laurie Manny’s post about RSS Hugger, which is a new blog directory that “aims to bring bloggers and readers together” through RSS […]
Low-Cost Ways to Make Your Home Shine
March 17, 2008 by
A few years ago, the NAR published this list of ways to spruce up your home, and I figure it’s worth revisiting: Trim bushes so they don’t block windows and cut down on light. Buy a new doormat. Put a pot of bright flowers (or a small evergreen in winter) on your porch. Put new […]
How Do I Get My Edmond Home SOLD??
March 17, 2008 by
In this tougher, more competitive market, this is becoming a more common question. With that in mind, I’m making it easier than ever for home owners in Edmond and NW OKC to find out what it’s really going to take to get that sometimes elusive ‘SOLD’ sign out front. Marketing homes (and getting real results) […]

Fairview Farms, Edmond OK Activity Report, March 2008
March 13, 2008 by
It’s time for my monthly report on what’s selling, what’s not, and what’s new on the market in Fairview Farms. You’d be amazed at how often I get asked “What did that house around the corner sell for” or “How much is that house on X street listed for?” This report is designed to keep you […]
Overpriced Listings – The BIG Picture
March 11, 2008 by
Yesterday I posted about the ill effects of overpricing your home for sale, and I have no doubt that I could never address this topic enough. It’s an ongoing problem that we’ll never be fully rid of, but I hope that by sharing my thoughts on it, I may be able to help a few […]
Are the National Talking Heads Waking Up?
March 9, 2008 by
After reading an article on MarketWatch earlier today, I’m starting to wonder if maybe people are beginning to ‘get it.’ I know they are locally. Over the past month or so, I’ve found that I’m just validating people’s thoughts about the market, rather than having to convince them like I’ve had to do over the past […]
