      <title>Real estate inventory may be even lower that the numbers suggest,</title>
      <description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title="Real estate inventory may be even lower that the numbers suggest," src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/8/9/1/1/ar136945702611989.jpg" height="243" alt="Real estate inventory may be even lower that the numbers suggest," width="424"&gt;The number of homes for sale in Coweta County &lt;/strong&gt;is at one of the lowest levels in years. But there may be even less available inventory than more buyers expect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Because a lot of the homes that remain on the market are in such poor condition&lt;/strong&gt; that most buyers don&amp;rsquo;t want them, and even if they did, they could not secure a loan for the house.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The other day four of the six houses that I showed&lt;/strong&gt; were practically unsellable. The amount of work that needed to be done just to make them habitable far exceeded the potential value of the repaired house.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is often referred to as incurable obsolescence. &lt;/strong&gt;And as more and more of the good properties are consumed by the buyers, the percentage of &amp;ldquo;stinkers&amp;rdquo; continues to rise.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is nothing quite like the smell of mold mixed with cigarette smoke.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We need good houses to sell!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>Is Google becoming less relevant as a search engine?</title>
      <description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title="Is Google becoming less relevant as a search engine?" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/6/3/5/9/ar136928104695365.jpg" height="305" alt="Is Google becoming less relevant as a search engine?" width="454"&gt;Google has ruled the Search Engine World for over a decade now. &lt;/strong&gt;During this time, Google has continually added more products and services designed to retain consumer interest in its offerings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But as Google transforms into an all-encompassing social media platform&lt;/strong&gt;, something seems to be getting lost in the shuffle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And that something is relevant search engine returns. &lt;/strong&gt;Because Google apparently ties search engine results based on levels of participation in other Google tools, results seemed to be skewed away from real information.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When I search, I&amp;rsquo;m not interested in seeing who &lt;/strong&gt;is jumping on the most Google bandwagons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m only interested in relevant results.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>Oh my that photo looks VERY familiar. Intellectual property rights.</title>
      <description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title="Oh my, that photo looks VERY familiar. Intellectual property rights." src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/4/3/3/7/8/ar136918758987334.jpg" height="334" alt="Oh my, that photo looks VERY familiar. Intellectual property rights." width="454"&gt;I was waiting in my real estate office for a client&lt;/strong&gt; to arrive and so to kill some time I grabbed a magazine that was on the conference tables.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s a familiar slick color periodical that features things to do and see in Atlanta.&lt;/strong&gt; It is designed primarily for people relocating to the area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As I thumbed through the magazine&lt;/strong&gt; I was struck by a photo of Starr&amp;rsquo;s Mill that was very similar to one that I had taken several years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Upon further scrutiny, I realized that it was not just SIMILAR&lt;/strong&gt; to my photo:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It WAS my photo.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quickly I located the original photo and guess what?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They had cropped my copyright notice &lt;/strong&gt;out of the image.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Too bad so sad. Busted!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m not sure what I am going to do next.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What would you do?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>Keeping the door open for a change of heart.</title>
      <description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title="Keeping the door open for a change of heart." src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/6/8/1/3/ar13690263531869.jpg" height="284" alt="Keeping the door open for a change of heart." width="424"&gt;We all like to negotiate a good deal&lt;/strong&gt;. There are times when negotiations result in a deal that is acceptable to both the buyer and the seller, and there are times when the parties are too far apart.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In the latter case, it sometimes can make sense to let the parties mull the impasse&lt;/strong&gt; for a day or two, and then start negotiations again with new vigor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If there is no deal anyway, there is nothing to lose.&lt;/strong&gt; And as long as there are no competing offers, time can be the negotiator&amp;rsquo;s best friend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I always keep the door open for a change of heart. &lt;/strong&gt;People that are adamant about their positions often recant and ask to reopen negotiations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And many a house is sold with an offer that is superior &lt;/strong&gt;to a previous &amp;ldquo;highest and best&amp;rdquo; from the same offeree.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>How do you qualify to purchase a HUD home?</title>
      <description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title="How do you qualify to purchase a HUD home?" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/2/8/2/9/ar136867419092829.jpg" height="304" alt="How do you qualify to purchase a HUD home?" width="454"&gt;One of the questions I get asked a lot&lt;/strong&gt; is how one would qualify to purchase a HUD home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s an interesting question, because HUD does offer a special incentive&lt;/strong&gt; that allows owner occupants to acquire an FHA loan with less than the typical 3.5% down payment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As a matter of fact, owner occupants&lt;/strong&gt; can purchase a HUD home with only $100 down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There are some caveats.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The buyer must still qualify&lt;/strong&gt; for the principle amount of the loan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The buyer must pay up front FHA Mortgage insurance&lt;/strong&gt; or add the up front MIP to the loan principal balance. Important note: A borrower may NOT borrow more than the FHA appraised value of the HUD home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The buyer must pay monthly FHA MIP (mortgage insurance premiums.)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A buyer may wish to look into financing options&lt;/strong&gt; other than FHA for a HUD home. &lt;strong&gt;There are many advantages to getting a conventional loan&lt;/strong&gt; that may serve a HUD home buyer better than a FHA loan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The key is to talk to a mortgage professional first,&lt;/strong&gt; and to examine all of the options that are open to you based on your credit scores and the amount of funds available for a down payment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Every buyer&amp;rsquo;s situation is different.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s important to know exactly where you stand&lt;/strong&gt; before you make your bid!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>The time to list your Coweta County Real Estate is now!</title>
      <description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title="The time to list your Coweta County Real Estate is now!" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/2/7/1/5/ar136893438151729.jpg" height="284" alt="The time to list your Coweta County Real Estate is now!" width="424"&gt;With a surge in late Spring sales, the Coweta County Georgia&lt;/strong&gt; housing market shows continuing signs of strengthening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The supply of good houses for sale remains low,&lt;/strong&gt; and buyer interest is at the highest level in years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As a result, it&amp;rsquo;s a great time to put a Coweta County house&lt;/strong&gt; on the market. We need inventory to meet the growing demand throughout the county.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A house in good condition that is listed at a fair price&lt;/strong&gt; should sell quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The time to list your Coweta County Real Estate is now!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>Everyone wants to talk about real estate.</title>
      <description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title="Everyone wants to talk about real estate." src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/4/8/2/5/ar136885753952842.jpg" height="213" alt="Everyone wants to talk about real estate." width="410"&gt;I have been talking to people from all over the country&lt;/strong&gt; over the last few weeks and when they find out what I do for a living they all ask me the same thing:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;How&amp;rsquo;s the real estate market these days.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And it&amp;rsquo;s a hard question to answer,&lt;/strong&gt; because my experience is limited to the areas in which I work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So while I can speak with some authority about the real estate market&lt;/strong&gt; in CowetaCountyGeorgia, I really don&amp;rsquo;t have much insight about real estate market in other locales.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Real estate is local.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And the best way to get answers is from a local professional&lt;/strong&gt; that works daily in that market.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>When &#8220;Seamless&#8221; Seems Less than Perfect!</title>
      <description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title="When &amp;amp;ldquo;Seamless&amp;amp;rdquo; Seems Less than Perfect!" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/4/7/9/5/2/ar136873076325974.JPG" height="261" alt="When &amp;amp;ldquo;Seamless&amp;amp;rdquo; Seems Less than Perfect!" width="424"&gt;We often hear the term &amp;lsquo;seamless&amp;rdquo; used as a selling point&lt;/strong&gt; when it is suggested that we migrate from one product to another or upgrade our existing technology to the latest and greatest version.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In theory, the end user should not be required to proactively do anything&lt;/strong&gt; to make the new upgrade work properly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In reality, few technological changes are ever truly seamless,&lt;/strong&gt; and one often spends hours with tech support and then even more time is spent learning all of the new tricks and tweaks needed to make the product work effectively.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I have come to fear the word &amp;ldquo;seamless.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It SEEMS like LESS every time!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>Teamwork gets the job done despite all odds!</title>
      <description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title="Teamwork gets the job done despite all odds!" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/1/6/4/9/ar136857930394617.jpg" height="185" alt="Teamwork gets the job done despite all odds!" width="424"&gt;Today I had one of those deals that took teamwork &lt;/strong&gt;to accomplish the near impossible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But when the mortgage company,&lt;/strong&gt; closing attorney, and real estate agents all work together towards a common goal what seemed to be unattainable can be achieved.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Were there obstacles along the way?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yes!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Were there moments when it appeared it wasn&amp;rsquo;t going to happen?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yes!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Did that deter anyone from doing their level best &lt;/strong&gt;to get the job done?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As a result of the combined efforts of everyone involved as of four o&amp;rsquo;clock today &lt;/strong&gt;we have a pair of new first-time homeowners in CowetaCountyGA!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And that&amp;rsquo;s what this job is all about!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>I&#8217;m not a Luddite. I am a Luddite Light!</title>
      <description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title="I&amp;amp;rsquo;m not a Luddite. I am a Luddite Light!" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/2/4/1/4/ar13684743041421.jpg" height="268" alt="I&amp;amp;rsquo;m not a Luddite. I am a Luddite Light by Richard Weisser" width="464"&gt;In the past I often opined that technology has gone too far&lt;/strong&gt; and has taken us off the path of humanity and led us into an impenetrable rainforest of technological obsession.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I often long for the days when it was normal to interact with people&lt;/strong&gt; face to facer instead of via social media.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And while the world still had all of the problems&lt;/strong&gt; that diverse societies could fester, life still seemed to have a quiet, simple quality that made each day a special blessing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;With that being said, I depend on technology as much today as anyone.&lt;/strong&gt; As a matter of fact, I am typing this post as I am waiting for my car to be serviced. What used to be &amp;ldquo;dead&amp;rdquo; time now allows me to broadcast to anyone that would have a look at my diatribe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yes I like things simple.&lt;/strong&gt; But I also like to make the best use of my time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So I am NOT a Luddite.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am a Luddite Light!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>It&#8217;s now a seller&#8217;s market &#8230; sort of!</title>
      <description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title="It&amp;amp;rsquo;s now a seller&amp;amp;rsquo;s market &amp;amp;hellip; sort of by Richard Weisser" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/1/7/5/6/ar136827719865713.jpg" height="267" alt="It&amp;amp;rsquo;s now a seller&amp;amp;rsquo;s market &amp;amp;hellip; sort of!" width="424"&gt;My how things have changed in the world of real estate!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Properties no longer languish on the market for hundreds of days before any semblance of an offer appears.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Many properties now get multiple offers&lt;/strong&gt; within the first few days of a listing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But has the market returned to &amp;ldquo;normal?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is this a &amp;ldquo;boom&amp;rdquo; phenomenon?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well the answers to those questions are complex.&lt;/strong&gt; While we have seen significant appreciation over the last few years, property values are still no where near 2005 levels.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Demand is still great but prices seem to be held in check&lt;/strong&gt; by appraisals and buyer expectations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buyers are taking advantage of properties that are still great values&lt;/strong&gt; relative to the heyday of past years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And while sellers can expect their properties to sell in less time,&lt;/strong&gt; they may NOT garner as high a price as one would expect in a market with such low inventory levels.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So although one might use the phrase &amp;ldquo;Seller&amp;rsquo;s Market,&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt; the nomenclature must be tempered by caution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Because it&amp;rsquo;s now a seller&amp;rsquo;s market &amp;hellip; sort of!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>Some thoughts on Mother&#8217;s Day!</title>
      <description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img title="Paul and Lorraine Weisser in 1985" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/2/3/5/0/ar136836596305322.JPG" height="400" alt="Paul and Lorraine Weisser in 1985" width="282"&gt;Oh, keep the fond remembrance rite&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lest we forget her cheering light,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;The mold from which our form was crafted,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;And font from which our soul was draughted,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tis&amp;rsquo; not a day for grief nor tears,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;As we look&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;back to those distant years,&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;First to the past, and then ahead,&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;At broods of young ones that were bred,&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;The ebb and flow of life goes on,&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;As daughter now the mantle dons!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;(R Weisser 2013)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mother&amp;rsquo;s Day can be bittersweet for those of us that have lost our moms.&lt;/strong&gt; It&amp;rsquo;s a day of remembrance and honor, but also one may shed a tear or two.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But life is a passage,&lt;/strong&gt; and there are wives, sisters, daughters and yes some even have granddaughters that are now mothers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And so the cycle of life continues.&lt;/strong&gt; Time marches on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We never forget,&lt;/strong&gt; but we look forward with eager anticipation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Happy Mother&amp;rsquo;s Day to mothers everywhere!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>Are you buying a house, a location, or a lifestyle?</title>
      <description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title="Are you buying a house, a location, or a lifestyle?" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/4/3/1/5/5/ar136823225555134.JPG" height="270" alt="Are you buying a house, a location, or a lifestyle?" width="424"&gt;Buying a personal residence is a unique endeavor.&lt;/strong&gt; One must choose to purchase based on any number of requisite criteria.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What makes the decision process more challenging&lt;/strong&gt; is the fact that every parcel of real estate is unique. No two are exactly alike.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And no two are in exactly the same place.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;We have ALL heard the mantra: "location. location. location."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So one does not only have to choose the sticks and bricks,&lt;/strong&gt; but must also determine where the amalgamation of construction materials is situated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are there parks nearby?&lt;/strong&gt; Hospitals? Good schools? Shopping? Restaurants? Transportation? Cultural amenities? Jobs?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Because you are not just buying a house&lt;/strong&gt; in a specific location.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You are choosing a lifestyle.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>Find out what works and keep doing it!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title="find out what does work and keep doing it by Richard Weisser" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/5/7/0/5/ar136813242350758.jpg" height="257" alt="find out what does work and keep doing it by Richard Weisser." width="424"&gt;They say that experience is the best teacher.&lt;/strong&gt; And I tend to agree that there is something to be said for the trial and error method of learning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's pretty easy to figure out what doesn't work.&lt;/strong&gt; And although it is much harder to do than it sounds, the best action to take when something does not work is to STOP doing it!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conversely, when we stumble upon something that DOES work,&lt;/strong&gt; all we have to do is keep doing it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In practice, that's a lot harder&lt;/strong&gt; to implement than it sounds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But it should be simple.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unless WE get in the way&lt;/strong&gt; of our own success.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>Life in the extreme and the &#8220;numbing&#8221; down of society!</title>
      <description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title="Chile Peppers by Richard Weisser" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/6/3/6/5/ar13679288656366.jpg" height="285" alt="Chile Peppers by Richard Weisser" width="400"&gt;Perhaps it is the product of the world that we live in.&lt;/strong&gt; Have years of being bombarded with special effects and 3D games made our senses immune to ordinary?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Good enough is no longer good enough&lt;/strong&gt;. Everything these days is moving towards the extreme. Judging from the coupons in my email, we want to do everything from jumping out of airplanes to free climbing sheer rock cliffs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Even the food that we eat now is much more extreme.&lt;/strong&gt; The spicier and hotter the better. When I was a kid potato chips tasted like potatoes. If you look on the grocer&amp;rsquo;s shelf now choosing a chip is harder that naming a child.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Much of this escalation of sensory numbing&lt;/strong&gt; has migrated into our professional lives as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We must now deal with personalities that have been forged&lt;/strong&gt; by life on the edge of extreme.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s not personal.&lt;/strong&gt; It&amp;rsquo;s the result of too much too fast too dangerous and too spicy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And you must develop a taste for it!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;
