It's Bear Season Out There-Be Careful!

This is the time of the year when the bears are aggressive.

They're getting ready to hibernate and they're scouring for food.

If you are a hiker, take extra precaution.

You just gotta' love the B.C. Fish and Wildlife people for posting this sign.

Lead Generator-The Half Million Dollar "Give Away"

FRONT AND BACK VIEWS.

I'm having these printed up.

5000 of them to give away.

"$100 dollar bills" with our information on the back.

We will pass these out whenever the opportunity arises,

leave them at our barber, restaurants, friends, etc.

Your welcome to use it. Obviously, my friends in the States

might want to think about using U.S. currency.

No Crocodile Tears Here

David Letterman told a story the other night on his show.

This was not his usual monologue poking fun at some hapless celebrity.

This was an admission of infidelity and of attempted blackmail.

When he finished his story, the audience applauded.

I guess people are fed up with politicians, religious leaders and

other people of note getting caught in a peccadillo, then rationizing,

justifying and making excuses. Or outright lying about it; or crying crocodile

tears. (The Swaggart performance was deserving of an Academy Award).

He just told the story straight, and honestly.

How refreshing is that?

Now, I'm not

a huge Letterman fan, but I hope he doesn't lose his job over this.

There's absolutely no evidence to suggest that this was anything but

a consensual act between two adults. And there is no point in moralizing.

It's an issue best left to sort out between him and his wife.

Some Fizzbos Are Harder Than Others

I "touched" this guy 5 times, the last time with a

full blown market evaluation. I FINALLY got him on the

phone tonight. He said, "Jeezuz, you're a aggressive bastard.

Don't you EVER give up?".........................................Perfect!

I responded, "Real estate is a tough game, and sometimes negotiations

can be really tough. At the first sign of trouble, should I collapse,

or do you want someone there negotiating for you who

is a really aggressive bastard?"

I have a listing appointment Friday.

No Tickee-No Laundry

Last week, I held an open house on a new listing

and I picked up a new buyer...or so I thought.

I qualified them to death; style of house, area,

and price.

Then, came the crunch. I asked them to sign an

"Exclusive Buyer's Agreement". They balked! Upon further questioning, it

turns out that the person who sold their previous house was a relative

in the business and they were "kinda" (their term, not mine),

working with him. I told them, "Sorry. No buyer's agreement,

no showings". Why would anyone waste their time

without this agreement in place?
