Oh the weather outside is frightful........and I am not talking Halloween.....

I think this is nuts......before Halloween. I was out most of the day in the slush showing homes.....and for some reason two appointments on my listings canceled, UGH!!!!!!! Be Safe out there!

Good news is I am writing an agreement of sale, so all worth the effort.

Holly Noel, Princess of East Brandywine Township.....we will miss you!

Just 3 short day after her 98th birthday (14 dog years), we had to say good-bye to part of our family, our Cocker Spaniel, Holly Noel Princess of East Brandywine Township......and yes that was the name on the pedigree papers when we got her.

Holly was more than a pet, she was part of the family and a loyal friend.....our home is a bit emptier today.

The upcoming holidays will certainly be different......

The Princess in her Court.......

The Princess w/Her Loyal sidekick, Buffy after a busy day cleaning!!

A trooper even under the weather!!!!!

Say hi to Beau and Jordan for us Holly Girl!!!!!!!!

An Opportunity or just catching up?

I have been considering responding to the many invites from Facebook to start a "business page".

I gave it a lot of thought as to keeping the site primarily as a personal site with hints of my Profession only.

Yesterday while I was recooperating from surgery I did it and like what I see so far.....and I believe I am only scratching the surface.

I would appreciate those here in the best site for REALTORS, AR, who have used Facebook for their business page and let me know what I can to to get the most from it.....

As always, thanks for your time and consideration.

A hard lesson learned.....

In the NFL as in business, when someone makes a mistake or drops the ball, there is someone there to capitalize on it......not a pretty game for the Steeler offense.

When we forget or are too lazy to return a call or email (fumble the ball) we leave the "potential" Client out there for another Agent to come by and scoop them up......score the sale.

An mis-step with a Client could cause them to be picked-off (intercepted) by another Agent and again a sale for them.

Be proactive, responsive and deliberate when it comes to your customers.....they will be ours for a long time!

Genealogy.....has anyone had any success?

Over the past couple years I have started to dig into my family's genealogy and boy has it been fun and interesting.

I have spent time finding what I could all along without paying any fees for the information....exhausting the close family members and thus leading to some extended family I didn't even know I had as well as free services like older obituary services.

Active Rain is such a great resource for so many things that I thought I would ask here if anyone has done anything on their own and had success with any of the services out there, ie....Ancestry.com and the like.

I am at the point of diving into a pay service and find so many with varying feedback. I look forward to any insight anyone feels like sharing and I appreciate your time and input.

BTW, here is where I am on my Father's side.....Brudnok, Brudnock (my grandfather), Brudnak (my great-greandfather).....mostly in the Pittsburgh, PA area so far. On my Mother's side.....Bronowicz again mostly in the Pitsburgh area.....both my parents had large families yet it get very sketchy starting with the family size of my grandparents.

Again thanks for reading.....
