I have been on the phone with the Short Sale Department for over 2 hours in trying to resolve a short sale payoff figure.

Has anyone else had to deal with a situation like this. I am about ready to pull my hair out. I have been on the phone with them almost daily since July 22, 2009.

I think that we can work this out...I just need to speak with someone who is in control.

Help.

Social Media Slip Ups..

With corporations making an effort to be more visible in the social media space, the term social media résumé suddenly has a new significance for employees and potential employees. With so much competition for each job opening, employees need to be careful about how they present themselves online.

For potential employees, be aware that Human Resource departments do visit your social media sites when considering you for a job - and not just LinkedIn® - all of them. They're browsing through your photos, your blogs, your updates, your Tweets, so make sure that anything available to them is something that you would be willing to share or discuss in an interview.

For current employees, more and more stories are being reported about workers being fired by their companies for their use of social media sites like LinkedIn®, Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace. If you're going to post on these sites, be careful what you post, especially during work hours. Experts suggest avoiding announcements about interviews, raises, or new jobs. Avoid badmouthing your current and previous employers. And, last but not least, don't mention your job searches while you're still employed.

As a young person, our family would watch TV on Saturday and Sunday evenings....Mama would pop ..popcorn and we would sit around and watch the Ed Sullivan Show. We would see the new performers enter into the entertainment arena.

I remember seeing Stevie Wonder doing the finger poppin thing and also the Jackson 5.

What talented these folks had.

WE will miss the talent of Michael Jackson.

I am thinking about having an Open House on one of my oceanfront Cottages toward the end of the month.

Historically, Open Houses do not work and I am asking for you to email me some ideas that you use that have worked in your area.

Here, we have to feed the agents and public, and offer money...$100 for a drawing. How many of those agents run right back to the office and email out to all there investors that they have seen a house that is right for them. (Wish that were so.)

Anyway, Please send me some tips that might make my Open House more appealing.

Thanks in advance for any help.
