Doing the things you despise

[ 25 ] July 19, 2010

Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend!  My wonderful hubby took the girls out for the entire afternoon on Saturday so that I could get some work and relaxation in so I was very grateful for that.  I feel like I haven’t blogged in ages, but I think its been less than a week.
I’m excited about the [...]

Billionaires, brains, and short sales

[ 6 ] March 18, 2010

I can’t believe its Thursday night already…this week has been a whirlwind, but I mean that in a good way.
Am I the only person around here who is having trouble getting up on time in the morning since the time change?  I’m STILL dragging myself out of bed in the morning wondering how it can [...]

Relentless forward motion

[ 25 ] March 12, 2010

It’s Friday folks and I’m happy to say that my taxes are complete! Woo hoo!
So here’s the update I meant to give the other day:
My short sale with Mr. Anti-Technology man is looking pretty bleak.  A few weeks ago, we had a great call between our super duper negotiator and the realtor who has the [...]

Some quiet time…and taxes

[ 10 ] February 27, 2010

Hey everyone!  Hope you’re having a great weekend.  Since my last post we’ve been busy fielding the trickling phone calls from our last yellow letter campaign, working to move forward with our first short sale negotiation (there’s a story behind that for another day….), and nurturing current and developing new relationships with realtors so that [...]

Last I shared with all of you, my realtor neighbor sent off a listing agreement and short sale package to Mr. Anti-Technology Man (aka Mr. ATM) via mail because he has no email, no fax.  She called him a couple times to follow up a few days after she [...]

Picking up the phone pays off!

[ 10 ] January 29, 2010

Today was really a great day — picking up the phone really paid off!  Before I talk about today however, let me give a quick update from a couple days ago.
I did have the conference call between the realtor and our short sale negotiator and it certainly accomplished my main goal which was to ensure [...]

Forgetting the basics

[ 11 ] January 27, 2010

I screwed up today.  Not a monumental screw up…not an irreversable screw up that can’t be fixed.  But a screw up nonetheless.
I forgot the basics of relationship building and dealing with difficult or confusing situations.
Rule #1: Pick up the doggone phone. No emails.
I follow this rule in my 9-to-5 all the time to clear [...]
