I just learned about an idea that started on a blog in March called the 3/50 Project. The idea is the brainchild of a retail consultant, professional speaker and writer, Cinda Baxter.
It's really very simple.
Pick three local businesses that you would not like to see go out of business.
Spend at least $50 each month at each business.
Pass the idea along.
That's all there is to it.
What an easy way to help your local economy!
I'll be eating at Dick Russell's BBQ tonight. It's a start.

Closing Worksheets
There is a reason for all fields on the closing worksheet. If you have your own typed closing form in your computer that you use, that is okay, (I actually really like the typed forms - they are much easier to read) but please look over our sheet and make sure you have all the fields.
The Lwolf system looks up the outside agent, mortgage company and title company from the company phone number. That is what we need on the closing worksheet. If you just have an agents name and for ex pru coo or remax there are several companies in town so we don't know what company to put them to.
Buyer/Seller fields are often left blank for the other side of the transaction. All of this information needs to go into the system. I do not have time to go thru the file to find out any information. There is only one of me. There are 15 of you. Everything should be on the closing worksheet.
Isn't it great that we have so many closings for me to put into Lwolf that I am complaining? Keep it up!!

Note:
The "Current Inventory" column(s) reflect the number of active and contingent (on market) listings on the 16th day of each month.
The "Months Inventory" column(s) value(s) equal "Current Inventory" divided by "Monthly Sales".
This reflects how many months it would take to sell out of inventory at the current months rate of sale.
