What is going on with the real estate pricing games? We have the following: Overpriced properties among abundant competition, Market priced properties among abundant competition, Under-priced properties among abundant competition. What's it all about? Price?
Consumers look at price first, then after looking at the competition, they realize it's a bit more complicated than just the price. If the property is in foreclosure, their may be issues associated with attainablility, response time and/or terms associated with the third party approval. If the property is foreclosed, their may be issues associated with attainability for certain types of buyers, certain types of financing and/or response time.
Buyers sifting through the general pool of inventory are becoming more aware of the issues associated with lender mediated properties, properties in foreclosure and already foreclosed bank/corporate owned properties. All of the properties appear to be for sale and appear to be attainable. However, many are simply not attainable because they are clearly overpriced and/or they are not approved to be sold in a short equity position.
More and more consumers are aligning themselves early with professionals who can handle lender mediated properties both in foreclosure or post foreclosure. The pricing strategies have evolved significantly in the past 2 years for all types of properties; including lender mediated foreclosures, REO Bank Owned Homes and conventional retail homes for sale.
Conventional sellers have realized that they need to be competitively priced among the lender mediated foreclosures and the bank owned REO's. Certain REO asset managers and/or banks have pricing strategies that step down in a 'Reverse Auction' format whereby they step down their Broker Price Opinion list every 30 days by 5 to 10 percent until they receive multiple offers. Some REO pricing strategies simply price their original list significantly below the average Broker Price Opinion to obtain immediate multiple offers that generally are well above the list price. Next comes the lender mediated 'Short Sales' that require lender approval. This generally means the buyer(s) submit their offer on a fire-sale priced property and await lender approval that may take 4 to 6 weeks for a response. Only to realize the response was a counter offer that may again take an additional 4 to 6 weeks response. Now another new pricing strategy is evolving in the Twin Cities marketplace as well as other market centers. New Construction financing companies who have taken back builder assets are beginning to fire-sale their 'white elephant' assets and coupling new build projects along side those assets at a slightly higher price. Wow, how ingenious! These construction financing companies are turning bad money projects into active marketplaces while minimizing their losses, carrying charges and hold times.
Consumers are clearly shopping in a perfect marketplace. Historic low rates and prices combined with flexible ownership options. The only missing piece for consumers is simple. A trained and experienced real estate professional who is experience with lender mediated properties and conventional properties.

Buying Bank Owned Homes in Blaine, Coon Rapids or Anoka County Minnesota?
REO Bank Owned Sales are up 10.4% this Quarter!
Ex. Only 45 Bank Owned Homes Available in Blaine
The number of Bank Owned homes remaining in many suburbs of Minneapolis MN are declining. For example, in Blaine MN the inventory is down to 45 units and declining. Only 60 days ago, there were 80 Bank Owned Single Family Homes available for sale in Blaine, MN. With 35 sales in less than 60 days, there is an obvious increase in buyer activity focusing on Bank Owned Inventory. As of this posting here is a quick snippet of the available (single family homes) Bank Owned Homes For Sale in Blaine MN:
12 Homes Remaining between $71,000 to 15,000 3-4 Br 1-2Baths
10 Homes Remaining between $150-200k 3-5 Br 2 Baths
10 Homes Remaining between $200-300K 3-5 BR 2-3 Baths
8 Homes Remaining between $300-400K 3-5 BR 2-3 Baths
5 Homes Remaining between $400K + 3-5 BR 2-3 Baths
To obtain the details or the currentstatus of the available inventory or for homes that are soon to be listed by banks in the north metro area, contact me or your REO Broker today.
For those looking for indicators of a potential market swing, consider these: Over 40% of the Bank Owned Inventory sold in less than 32 days on the market. Approximately 59% of those sales were under $200k. The indicators here are obvious! There is more consumer confidence regarding price and the cost of borrowing money. First Time Homebuyers are purchasing the majority of these homes followed by the Investor pool. Real Estate Market indicators generally star us right in the face for a short while with most people paying very little attention. Think for a moment what may begin to happen when the first time pool of inventory begins to diminish. First time home buyers will be looking at strong entry points, the early bird buyers have already gained an equity position on their homes and the trickle effect begins to impact the step-up inventory in the same way. For those who say the market correction will take a few years, they are correct only from a global or national perspective. Each market center has their own dynamics as indicated in this particular municipality of Minneapolis, MN. From the above inventory statistics, here is another advantage for those early bird buyers. The ‘Days on Market' (DOM) for the pending and sold listings in the past two months was only 32 days. The DOM for the available bank owned single family homes are 128 days and the DOM for the homes that are not bank owned are 178 days. That means that many of the really ‘hot' deals fly into escrow (pending sold) very early in the listing period. How does this happen, are they impulse buying or do they have an REO Broker who knows about these deals well in advance of the properties becoming available to the general public? Clearly more and more consumers are realizing the importance of becoming the most informed consumer in their marketplace and the savvy buyers are aligning themselves with professionals who are engaged in both REO and retail inventory. When your or your sphere is ready to consult with an engaged REO Broker, you should consider calling me for a FREE consultation. That one hour consultation will empower your to make the right choices associated with developing your personal wealth with the real estate market. This includes our ‘Sellers Advantage Programs' that help our sellers regardless of their equity or short-equity positions in their current home. If you have any questions associated with the following, you may need to arrange your FREE Consultation with us:
The fact is, if any of the above questions concern you; I would be willing to meet with you to discuss your options. My specialty as an REO Broker is helping people with Short-Sale options and Bank-Owned Homes For Sale. Some people feel they can get a better deal surfing the ‘not-so-up-to-date' available properties for sale and driving around town calling the listing agents who typically do not answer the phones or post more than one photo on their listings. I cannot help foreclosure buyers who choose not to be helped. It would be my pleasure helping those wanting to get a great deal whether buying or selling real estate in the metro area.
I look forward to your call.

Foreclosure & Short Sale Properties For Sale in the Minneapolis St. Paul Metro
Your Trusted advisory for safely obtaining BANK OWNED REO's, Short Sale and Conventional properties in the Twin Cities Metro
Making you the Most Informed Consumer is our Mission!!! 
With any real estate transaction, you should be aligned with proven professionals who are looking out for your best interests exclusively. This is especially true with REO properties and Short Sale Transactions.
However!! Buying a Corporate Bank Owned or Short Sale property is very different when compared to the conventional purchasing process. If your next purchase will serve as your personal residence or as an investment property, you should be aware of the unique procedures, advantages, disadvantages and criteria involved in such a purchase before waffling through the mixed inventory of REO and/or Short Sale Properties posted for sale. You likely need to get started with a MN REO TRAINED PROFESSIONAL. (ZERO Commissions necessary from our buyers)
To really understand the current real estate marketplace, we should classify the residential marketplace into 3 categories: RETAIL, SHORT SALE and REO's (Real Estate Owned). The media throughs all residential real estate into one mixed bag when commenting about market trends and consumers searching the internet with available resources are viewing the inventory from one mixed pool as well. They may all look similar on the internet, some also look the same inside, yet the price spectrum ranges as much as 70% for similar properties. BUYERS say WOW and the consumers focus on price. The abundance of posted inventory for sale becomes very confusing and frustrating to the average consumer and to the un-trained agents. Many posted properties are either un-realistic in price, terms and/or conditions partly because of the sellers equity position. Supply and Demand ratios, pending/sold, and listed versus sold price statistics are all skewed because of the mixed bag of posted inventory available.
From the categories outlined above, BUYERS NEED TO BEWARE!!! There are many properties posted for sale and literally un-attainable. Many listing agents post properties for sale with little knowledge or awareness of bank approvals for a short sale, which lending institutions are associated with the property, the length of time it may take for a response or call to action on a purchase agreement and of course the many other potential lien and/or default issues that may be behind the scenes.
Meanwhile, buyers and agents are out and about looking at many properties that are literally un-attainable for purchase. Buyers get excited about the price on a short sale property, submit a purchase agreement and wait too often, only to hear a variety of reasons/excuses associated with a lack of knowledge, communication and/or experience in the area of REO's or Short Sales. Frustrations set in for the buyers who are not really in a position to be patient they continue to search without any guidance.

Testimonials
Frank D'Angelo, president and CEO of EXIT Realty Executives is now experiencing the value of his training strategies he offers his agents and their clients on a weekly basis. He says, ‘Effective training retains effective agents who in turn attract other effective agents'. ‘Train, Retain and Gain'. Along with that, he offers bonuses and incentives in all three areas. The key to the three building blocks associated with Training, Retaining and Gaining begins with the people you surround yourself with, says D'Angelo. That's why EXIT Realty should not be considered as a recruiting real estate company. EXIT Realty is growing ‘By-Invitation Only' D'Angelo claims. We're truly one of few real estate companies without a hired recruiter. Most companies have a hired recruiter and the only benefactor of the hired recruiter those business models generally involves the CEO's. "The Profitability part is my responsibility", D'Angelo says. When associates help us with the companies' growth in production, they are rewarded directly with two revenue streams; one of the two provides his agents with security, longevity, retirement and death benefits. The other revenue stream involves: the highest industry net commissions for their personal sales production combined with the most affordable marketing and technology tool kits available from a national brand. It's a Win-Win! Our agents understand the importance of working and networking with people they want to work with and enjoy the synergy amongst the team.
D'Angelo began his professional career as an educator and coach in Canada for 20+ years. Over the years he developed a successful history with his teaching and coaching careers as a head varsity basketball coach for St. Ignatius of Loyala in Thunder Bay, Ontario. While maintaining a teaching portfolio, he was as a curriculum coordinator, athletic director and President of one of the largest not-for-profit regional gymnastics associations in Canada. With that background, D'Angelo understands the significance of teaching, training and teamwork. Leveraging his 2 Bachelors and Masters Degree, his experiences in teaching, coaching and administration in the school systems transitioned out of the corporate world and into the real estate industry with the same upward aspirations associated with achieving an excellent persona and history of success. D'Angelo attributes his drive to excellence with his on-going mission to learn and help people benefit from his knowledge, experience and guidance. D'Angelo feels blessed to have met and studied what he calls his most influential mentors in his lifetime: His Grandfather/mentor Francesco D'Angelo , Coach K, Mike Krzyzewski of Duke University, Dr. Robert Rom, author of Understanding Self and others, Steve Morris, founder CEO of EXIT Realty International, James McCarty, author of The Power of One, national speaker and friend, and last but not least his wife Bonnie; who Frank claims as one of the most Emotionally Intelligent people he has ever met in his lifetime. D'Angelo feels blessed to have had the opportunity to meet such influential and balanced people in his lifetime. Frank feels he was also blessed with great family, great friends and a great wife. His goal is to continue surrounding himself with great associates at his newly revised real estate company at EXIT Realty Executives in Blaine, Minnesota. D'Angelo says, "When I originally launched this new company, I was so excited about the company and was more concerned about telling everybody who held a real estate license about EXIT Realty". After a short period of time, he came to the understanding that surrounding yourself with good people is much more important than collecting real estate licensees. He says, "There are enough ‘Deal Fee' companies out there to harbor all of the relatively in-active part-timers, the good agents I already have do not want to be associated with that type of connotation". He goes on to say that it's okay for agents to simply hang their hat at a brokerage and wait for grandma or Uncle Joe to sell their home, just don't hang your hat at his brokerage.
D'Angelo understands the significance each of his associates plays in the success of his company. He quotes his good friend, James McCarty author of the "Power of One" by saying, "a leader's ability to gain 100 percent participation towards the organizations mission, vision and values is only as effective as the extent to which they are accepted by the men and women on the front line taking care of our clients". "A leader can post the vision on the wall with notes and cards with goals listed on them, but it doesn't mean anything if they don't understand what is written on the wall", he says. D'Angelo embraces McCarty's principles of "The Power of One" and is committed to leading from the middle of the pack where people know him, see him in action and enjoy working with him. Some people consider this as being a ‘Competing Broker'. D'Angelo disagrees. He calls this style brokering as being a ‘Completing Broker', taking a chapter out of John Maxwell's book "The 360 Degree Leader". A ‘Completing Broker' completes the company mission/vision/values statement by demonstrating what's in the best interest of the clients and leading by example from the middle of the organization. D'Angelo also says, "We are an affirmation based empathy oriented company with empowering team members who understand the net worth of our mission, vision and values and how it associates directly with their clients needs". Since joining EXIT, D'Angelo starts every day with 20 affirmations. His first five are for himself. He says if you can't take care of yourself first, who can you take care of? His next five affirmations are for his loved ones, followed by his associates and finally his last five are for his vision, goals and dreams. He thanks Steve Morris, the founder of EXIT Realty for sharing the importance of affirming our daily lives. D'Angelo understands the universal business element that everybody wants to generate more profitability and wealth. His clients understand who they are working with and why they sought his trusted services, knowledge and communication throughout their real estate transactions and their years of ownership. Invariably, D'Angelo realizes everyone around him is trying to generate more profitability. "They're in business for themselves, however never by themselves", he says. He enjoys learning, sharing knowledge and working hard, so he also has time to play hard. Communication, Communication and Networking is his gig. Enjoying live blues performances and spending quality time with his wife Bonnie is his passion. Developing an empowering and positive real estate environment and being blessed with the opportunity to empower and affirm numerous grandchildren are his dreams.
When you ask D'Angelo, what he would like to change in the Real Estate Industry, his response stems around education and training. D'Angelo quotes, "If agents feel they do not need more education, they're either about to die in the business world or have yet to discover their business is dead". In the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, he would want more agents participating in his Mastery Program and become masterful relationship agents versus being transactional agents. He indicated a quick search on Realtor.com across the country looking at the percentage of homes posted for sale on the MLS with more than one photo is unacceptable to consumers today. He says, more than 75% of all agent listings do not have more than one photo posted on the MLS. D'Angelo says, that is a flagrant lack of effort. Some might suggest that the growing inventory of Bank Owned properties might be skewing those numbers. D'Angelo disagrees and goes on to say that any Bank or Asset Management Company that is currently being represented by a broker who refuses to market their properties with their highest and best resources should be seeking out those who will. Banks are paying full commissions to market and sell properties in the shortest period of time. Why should they be treated any different than any conventional retail seller? Frank D'Angelo and Sheldon Berquist have since pioneered a new effort to launch one of the first full-service Bank Owned Property Divisions in the Twin Cities. They have put together a required curriculum and certification program for agents to better serve buyers and sellers of bank owned and/or short sale properties. His REO team has been assembled unilaterally across the metro area with several participating EXIT offices to better serve the metro Minneapolis, St. Paul area. More information on this program, training and scheduled monthly foreclosure tours can be found at www.MNReoEXIT.com . His training programs are on-going, cyclical and free for all associates seeking to develop their sales/service position and better utilize their Unique Service Advantage (USA).
The teachings of the Mastery Development Program helps associates become masterful relationship advisors by first becoming effective listeners. Associates are taught to asking pre-chosen effective questions combined with effective listening to consumer responses. D'Angelo believes that the new vogue term of ‘Relationship Selling' is simply a systematized pre and post transactional relationship directly related to the original ‘Track Selling' system formulated and taught in the 1970's by large business training institutions. The ‘Track Selling System' was basically ‘Solution Selling', nothing more, nothing less. D'Angelo believes the ‘Track Selling' name originated by the trainers who focused on scripts and keeping on ‘track' with the consumer responding to the questions. Some today refer that to telemarketing. Typically, telemarketing is nothing more than canned questions and answers. The difference between the two systems involves effective scripts combined with effective listening.
Sales associates had tremendous success during the independent 80's and 90's with either ‘Track or Solution Selling Systems', however they exclusively focused on the transaction/deal. Today, with the help of the internet, the knowledge base for both consumers and sales associates has grown exponentially. While much of the consumer educational base has become independently obtained from a variety of internet sources, there is often too much information that either overloads their decision to put pen to paper or encourages them to study the inventory further. Therefore the newest trend of ‘Relationship Sales' has evolved. ‘Relationship sales' requires establishing and sharing a foundation of trusted information from the sales associate. Being perceived as a trusted advisor in your given sales niche(s) both pre and post transaction is the key to the mastery of ‘Relationship Sales'.
D'Angelo says, "Relationship Sales is an integral part of his Mastery Development Curriculum at EXIT Realty Executives. "Making our Sales Associates and our Clients the most informed consumers brings ease, comfort, and confidence towards putting pen to paper for both our consumers and our associates. We're now experiencing some great success stories with our agents in the Mastery Development Program and who have incorporated our Relationship Sales approach, strategies and marketing tools". The training headquarters consists of state-of-the art training curriculum, technology and facilities currently located on the second floor of Anchor Bank Building in Blaine Minnesota. D'Angelo refuses to subject his associates to sit through canned sales theories, on demand satellite or on-line feeds. Most company brands including EXIT Realty provide on-demand training utilities however, D'Angelo's Mastery Development Program also provides associates with the necessary skill sets, strategies and U.S.A. (Unique Service Advantage). D'Angelo believes the sales industry in general lacks the Pass-Me-Down-Wisdom philosophy. The real estate sales industry is no exception. A fundamental lack of wisdom is not being passed down to sales associates from a standpoint of Relationship Sales Marketing and Service. He also believes that the real estate sales mangers and owners are rarely the real estate geniuses or wizards of sales. The geniuses and wizards of sales are generally locked up in their offices putting up numbers on the board and selling. Sales Managers are generally vested, compensated and rewarded by obtaining more sales volume by either hiring more sales associates or charging more transaction fees or rent. D'Angelo truly believes that a well-trained sales team educating their consumers bridges the relationship towards improved sales relationships.
The business model at EXIT Realty rewards each of their associates equally when they introduce new sales associates to the company. They are not expected to recruit anyone and often naturally attract people they like to network and work with. Single level bonuses equivalent to up to 10% of the Gross Commissions are paid directly to the sales associate who introduces the producing sales associate to EXIT. A pure Win-Win philosophy whereby all sales associates can share in the revenue associated with the companies' growth. D'Angelo emphasizes EXIT is not a profit-sharing or multi-level marketing scheme, nor should it be considered a recruiting based company. He say's we're ‘By Invitation only' and ‘We're all about the Company we keep'. EXIT Realty is the only proven revenue sharing model with built-in mentorship, training and self driven Pass-Me-Down-Wisdom including the on demand on-line national training opportunities serviced by the majority of the Top 5 real estate companies. EXIT Realty has revolutionized the conventional real estate industry and gone beyond the conventional ‘all encompassing branding' of associates. Branding is important when the brand supports agent individuality without implying all associates with a particular brand are the best at what they do. Consumers know that's not reality. The Mastery Development Program at EXIT Realty Executives takes pride in developing the ‘Best Trained Relationship Sales Associates in the Industry'.
Although the Mastery Development Training Program emphasis is on ‘Relationship Sales, it is shared with everyone in the industry, including other associates and their clients. The program teaches: consumer retention, prospecting strategies, business development and unique marketing strategies as well as provide systematized marketing and management tool kits that helps associates net more from their commissions than the conventional marketing and management tools available to general sales force.
Systematic principles are used throughout the training programs in conjunction with EXIT Realty's on-line University, National Training, Technology and Support Services. Brand new agents and veteran associates take advantage of the Mastery Development Program on a regular basis at EXIT Realty.
From D'Angelo's experience as salesperson, sales executive and broker at EXIT Realty Executives lends him to believe it is imperative that the entire company shares, networks, and invests in the training of their people including their clients. While business strategies and training is obviously necessary, all the business knowledge in the world won't translate into sales without the proper sales and people training. The Relationship Selling System is the foundation of our Mastery Development Program and has become our staple for our company.
The best part of the EXIT Realty model, is that the majority of other real estate models end all revenue opportunities for sales associates when agents stop selling. At EXIT, all associates who have invited other associates to EXIT over the years will continue to receive up to 7% of the Gross Commissions from each and every associate as long as they continue selling real estate for EXIT. "Our associates love that", D'Angelo says. "Do you think, those associates might refer their own sphere of influence to the people they have introduced to the company over the years and enhance their own retirement plan? Let's take this one step further. When the inevitable happens, their pre-chosen beneficiary will continue to receive 5% of the Gross Commissions produced by all of the associates they have ever introduced to EXIT across Canada and the United States for as long as they sell with EXIT. Do you think their spouse and family could do anything with that? Do you think their spouse could also enhance their own death benefits by referring clients to the sphere of people their spouse introduced to the company over the years".
EXIT Realty is a proven real estate model that enhances three simple words. Train, Retain and Gain. These three simple words form the basis of the proven real estate model inspired by EXIT Realty's founder Steve Morris. These three high-growth building blocks will help EXIT Realty continue its' annual growth rates of approximately 77% annually. By the end of 2008, EXIT Realty will have surpassed 50,000 associates and will have shared over $125 Million dollars in Bonuses and Benefits with their associates.

Personal
We have lived in the Twin Cities suburbs of Minneapolis, Columbia Heights, Buffalo,Fridley and Blaine. Frank's youth was filled with extra-curricular activities and organizations centered around school, church and athletics in both Ontario Canada and Minnesota. He graduated from University of Minnesota Duluth with a Masters degree in Education. Current hobbies include traveling to live blues gigs and festivals with Bonnie, in-line skating, weight-training, and has retired from coaching Varsity Basketball for the Crimson of Maple Grove. Former President/Executive Director of the NWO regional Gymnastic Association and former Curriculum Chairperson and Athletic Director of the Lakehead District Catholic School Board up in Ontario.
Donavon DesMarais was born and raised in a real estate family. In fact his father has owned his own brokerage forty five miles west of the twin cities for nearly 35 years now. Much of his upbringing was filled with lessons and education on the do's and don't of the industry. He is now proudly the third member of his immediate family to be practicing real estate on a full-time basis. As St. John's University graduate in 2002 Donavon immediately knew that he wanted to pursue a career in helping people. He soon found himself learning the ropes via his father's business and soon thereafter became licensed real estate salesperson and has never looked back since. Donavon brings value to his customer's with his strong construction background sprawling over nearly 13 years. Having been in and out of thousands of new construction and rehabilitation homes through the years he knows what to look for when it comes to quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. It is his mission to provide unprecedented service, professionalism and respect to all his clients all of the time. Once you have met Donavon you will quickly realize that his intentions stem far deeper than simply trying to close another transaction. His hope is instead to create a friendship, a relationship and a client for life that knows whenever there is a question or concern regarding anything real estate he is there to give insight and guidance. Much of his business is strictly referral based and he takes every recommendation of friend and family as an outward expression of gratitude and confidence from his past clients. As our marketplace continues to evolve and change so does Donavon's motivation to remain fully educated and informed on how to manage and minimize the impact of those changes on his clients investments. He enthusiastically looks forward to meeting you one day along his path as he continues to practice what he loves; help turn peoples dreams into their reality!

Our Charity of Choice: 
Frank, prior to your arrival to do your listing presentation on our previous home, we had already made up our minds that we would use the agent who was most well known around most of the estates. Your brief 20 minute demonstration of how our home would be marketed and accessible 24/7 and your 800 technology/telephony demonstration was mind boggling. We called your 800 number, entered the 4 digit extension number for our home and your recording was a verbal virtual tour offered 24/7. What blew our minds was the fact that your pager went off just seconds later indicating we had called about our own home and we had accessed an immediate fax brochure on the property. Within minutes we had a verbal recording and our fax machine received a detailed brochure on the property. Your website services was also phenominal as we accessed everything we needed from you for our new dream home on the lake. More importantly, your follow-up and service is impeccable. Thank you so much, you are truly going beyond the call.

With your on-going Client Care Program you offered us over the years, we always knew who to call for any home maintenance, care or issues. Your regular updates, tax tips and special offers for homeowners kept us in the loop, thank you. On top of all that, we were especially impressed when we received a letter after our recent closing from the Children's Miracle Network. The letter thanked us for chosing you because you donate a portion of all your real estate transactions to such a great cause for children. Above & Beyond really holds true for you guys. Thanks again.
Zachary & Reagan (Minneapolis, MN)
Frank, as one of your youngest clients at 20 years old, we would recommend all first time homebuyers and renters to meet with you. We are in our first home for much less money than our small two bedroom rental we were pursuing. Being in such a great neighborhood in NE Minneapolis will really help us when we plan to relocate again in the near future. Thanks so much for your guidance and professional expertise. P.S. Our parents were really happy for us also :)

Thank you so much for all your wonderful help in finding us a new home. You truly went above & beyond the call of duty! Zaida, Marco & Ysabella, West Virginia
We cannot thank you enough for helping my Mother during the transition of finding and closing on a new home and bringing a speedy sale on her existing home. Just knowing that our friends and family are being taken care of by "one of the best" is what matters most.
Ed & Renee, Houston TX
In all our dealings with Realtors over the past ten years, we have never met anyone as kind, helpful and energetic as you have been. Without hesitation, we would highly recommend your service to anyone who is looking for an experienced, caring Realtor who gets things done! Your builder has a great team supporting their reputation. Thanks for taking such good care of us!
