I have been blessed in this uncertain market to get referrals. I do my best and at times the job is challenging. It feels so good to have done a job so well, that another person would like to give your name out so you can do the same for someone they care about. That is an awesome compliment, and really means a lot right now!

A new color I am seeing in houses is Orange, and in many shades. Are your clients on this trend too? I actually like it, and I thought I would not. My favorite is deep dark oranage. A lot of things look great with it. I like to stage a home with an Italian theme around these blazing accent walls.Although it depends, sometimes native american art,northwest rustic or southwest art go great. Do you see this in other parts of the country?I am in the Northwest.

Please visit my website at NowYouAreLiving.com and let me know what trends you love!

I have called my clients from the garage so that they could not hear my kids in the back ground. I have also been known to lurk in closets,corners,parked cars, and by the garbage cans outside. Do not hide in bathrooms-they echo. Where is the craziest place you have gone to be professional on the phone?

I love my work. If work is even the right word. I could work form the time I get up to the time I go to bed, and I have. Where do you draw the line? When are you just putting in more time, and not seeing the benefits?

I feel that there is no lost time. What ever you do, do it with all you have and you will always receive something in return. Do you agree? Do you think agents should work a set amount of hours? When do we clock out? Do you network every where- even on vacation? How much is to much? If you love your job isn't it all just a day in the life? Let me know what you think!

Do you advise your clients to counter on low offers, or just not respond? I have wrote a few lately and the potential buyers were expecting a counter offer. The seller did not even respond. the Buyers were surprised. Do you think that the Sellers may have missed the boat? Do you think that if they countered, and were willing to accept a lower offer, just not that low ,we could have had a sale?Let me know what you think-Dinah
