Project 365 march 31 April 1-2-3
Monday picture....I forgot. Already it's project 364!!
Tuesday & Wednesday pictures have to do with a call I got on duty. A gentleman called & needed a CMA on 5 properties. I was under the impression that we would be listing these homes in the near future, so I was, needless to say, quite excited about the prospect of 5 listings!!! He gave me the addresses & I looked them all up in the county records. I did a cursory CMA with the caveat that since I hadn't seen inside, these were very rough estimates.
He made arrangements for me to see the homes to get a better idea of their value. So Tuesday morning I met him & a gentleman from a trust company at the homes. I learned that my client's uncle had died intestate & there is some disagreement as to the value of his home & 4 rental properties he had. These are pictures of the 5 properties:
Some are in better shape than others. Some really need some work
The home he lived in was a total of 720 fsf on 2 levels with a basement. Could be REALLY cute for the right person. Very narrow stairs. And 3 old wringer washers in the basement.
Now it appears that I may get an opportunity to interview for the listing job on1-2 of the homes. One ofthe relatives is bidding on 3 of the properties. I need to do the CMA so my client can feel comfortable that he's not getting the raw end of the deal.
This man is one of the nicest people I have met. Even though I will not get 5 listings or maybe not even 2. I have had the opportunity to spend the morning with a super guy. He made sure he always opened the door for me and bought me breakfast when we were done.
That's why were in this business - to help people. He will always be my friend.
Thank God for genltlemen clients

My pictures for March 29, & March 30 are from the model I sit at on the weekends for Rockland Homes. Rocky has a beautiful product. He will build anywhere in the Omaha area, but mostly in the west right now. That is where most of the building is going on here.
These are pictures of the inside. The outside is not yet painted and of course there is no pretty green grass right now so this gives you a better idea of the home. It is a ranch with 1592 fsf. 3br, 2 ba. Granite countertops, maple cabinets, Select oak floors, painted woodwork, 3car garage in Lakewood Villages. $249,900.
Let me know if you want to see more!!

Today I purchased a very cool website for neighborhoods. You can become the neighborhood expert with very little trouble. This is the picture of my office-mate's site.
Her brother in law, Mike Rolf, is the regional sales manager for the company and is making the rounds. I invited Mike to join AR & he immediately joined.
The initial investment varies based on the number of houses in the area you want to purchase. But as you can see, it is one stop shopping for neighborhood information. I bought two areas and intend to get some sponsors to help defray the cost of the initial investment. There is also a monthly fee, but for that THEY keep all the job information, local phone numbers, real estate, news current. Any of the special items I put on the site must be maintained by me.
At the bottom of every page is my information. So when folks in the neighborhood need Real estate info, they'll call me!!
I am really excited about this new presence. I'll let you know when my sites are up & running!!!

I have been working on my taxes for the last few days. Having earned the CPA designation and working in the accounting area for the last 25 years I feel I SHOULD have the expertise to do my own taxes - whether I do or not is a horse of a different color.
Actually, the main reason I so my own is.....I hate paying someone to fill in forms or answer questions on a computer, that I could do myself. By the time one organizes all the records, receipts, expense reports, etc etc into a format that it makes sense, all that is left is the filling in of the blanks in TurboTax or Tax Cut or whatever one chooses to use. So I spend a couple of days to get it all together and put it in the forms. Of course I don't want to pay until I absolutely HAVE to so whatever balance may be due gets paid at 11:59 PM on April 15th. Wouldn't want them to have my money any sooner that they need it.
Honestly, I don't mind paying taxes. Our government provides many necessary services that wouldn't get done if we had no taxes. I am just grateful we don't get as much government as we pay for!!
