Many of you know that I implemented a $150 Donation to Charity with every closing in 2010.

This was harder to stick to this year because business was quite slow early in the year and the dollar amounts of commissions has gotten smaller and smaller and home prices have fallen. It was also a difficult year for me personally with lots of loss of friends and family members and my mother's illness.

However, I am proud that I have stuck to this and look forward to what interesting charities my clients will choose at the close of each sale.

Following the successful closing of 1771 Countrywood Court, Hyattsville MD I am proud to say that the following donation has been made:

$150 to Avon Walk for Breast Cancer

My client is walking in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in May 2012 and I was very happy to be able to support her.

Breast cancer touches so many lives that I am happy to be able to contribute to help find new treatment options.

I live in fear of breast cancer as I have watched many people I love battle this disease:

• My paternal grandmother passed away from breast cancer in 1974. I never got the chance to meet her.
• Last year my childhood friend passed away at age 37.
• This summer my aunt Susan passed away.
• This October my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and I went home to be with her as she was recuperating from her mastectomy. She has been lucky because the cancer was caught early and she does not need chemotherapy at this time.

Beginning in January 2010 I implemented Pay It Forward - $150 donation to charity with every closing.

Following the successful closing of 872 Nalley Road, Hyattsville MD I am happy to report that the following donations have been made:

• $50 to the UMBC - UMBC is part of the University of Maryland system. When I first moved to America it was to attend this wonderful university and I have always been grateful for my wonderful experience there.

• $40 to Angie Houtz Memorial Fund - This fund provides scholarships to students attending Maryland public universities who have shown a committment to academics and community service

This charitable donation is rapidly becoming one of my favorite pats of the real estate transaction. I am excited to be able to make these donations and I look forward to making many more donations in the coming months (and years).

Today I attended an auction for a condo in Largo, MD. We were allowed in an hour before the auction to investigate the unit. I was actually surprised that there were so many people there - my guess is 8-10 sets of people bidding.

The bidding started at $20,000 and quickly climbed to a point that eliminated many of the buyers present.

I'm not sure what I expected but it kinda felt like I was on an episode of Storage Wars. It was very civilized and controlled and the unit actually sold for very close to market price.

One interesting thing was that the buyer is charged a 5% auction premium which is added to the sales price but this auction company only offered 1% commission to an agent who brought their client. That means at opening bid price I had the potential of earning a whopping $200.

Most buyers shy away from auctions because they aren't contingent on financing. However, it seems that they would be good ways for cash buyers to scoop up some good investment properties.

Having attended one and seeing that it really wasn't that strange I no longer feel intimidated by the concept and I look forward to attending more in the future.
