MATTERS OF THE HEART

MATTERS OF THE HEART are the most important things in life and work. If your heads not on straight you cant focus or preform as you should.

Thursday afternoon I found out my son had exploded in his work efforts. He pitched .1 of an inning giving up 5 runs and 2 BB and 2WP...That was his second bad game in a row. I called him he sounded down so I jumped in my car and drove 6 hours to see him in Orlando Fl. I took him out for a few days after ball making sure his confidence was brought back up to speed.  We had a good relaxing weekend and when I left I felt for sure he will be an ace on the mound Mon or Tue when he pitches next. It hard first year playing professional ball.. He  had made 6 awesome appearence up till last week. I told him this would come eventually...The big boys always catch up to you sooner or later.

On the work level my seller for the short sale still hasnt gotten his paperwork back to me, and her all along I thought his wife was the only problem..grrr. GMAC is gonna kill me soon if I dont get this done. I also had a call for a listing appointment Monday Morning wooo......

RIDING THE PINE

To day I felt like a pitcher in the big leagues... waiting for me to get the call to come in and close. I worked from home all day today. The husband on my short sale did not get his package in the mail on time. It wont be here till Friday now. GMAC is so gonna have a fit....This was suppose to be done last Thursday... Tomorrow we close on my 1805 White Western  woo... Both sides to this one at 162K.....Ill take it everyday......A person I had an appointment with for Saturday Aug 6th cancel said he found a different property....One buyer who made an offer thru another agent hadnt responded to our counter... guess that ones gone........But my other deal is moving along ok...hope to close before the end of Aug....

My phone hasnt been ringing much this week. I have had a few leads from my wedsite but with Chasing these closings I havent had time to really follow up good enough.....I have to work in the office Thursday Afternoon hope I get a few floor calls.

One client who leased to own one of our homes thru me last year said he is walking away and losing his 10K downpayment...GRRRRRRRR I dont get a penny of it...now I have to sell the 320K home for what the market is at now probably closer to 270K....The Broker gets to keep all the 28K he has paid in so far.....

Oh well......guess I should of found a better buyer..lol..........Till tomorrow.......sweet dreams

Sale Sale Sale HOMES FOR SALE PANAMA CITY BEACH

I had a great weekend. A friend from Indiana came in. It rained most of the weekend. Had to show a few homes Saturday but then went Took Kelly to the Sherlock's Mystery Theater. It was my second time there and was as good as the first. Then Sunday I had to show a house in Southport in the morning. Was suppose to go Deep Sea Fishing out of Treasure Island Marina here in Panama City Beach with Captain Rick. Two O clock I'm there with my friends waiting to go. I call him and he said who are you? You dint have a trip.. I said we talked Wed and I made a reservation for 1/2 trip  2 Sunday. He said hold on..left me on hold for a few minutes and came back and said dang I see my note now I forgot to write you in. The he said well I cancelled all my trips this weekend because of the weather. Now it had cleared up and was nice. the gulf was flat at this time. I was so embarrassed I promised my fried Id take her fishing since she had never been to Panama City before plus it was the last day of snapper fishing. Even rescheduling the trip ypou couldnt catch snapper till next year. That really sucked. he could of called or something we could of booked another boat as all the other bats were going out. These boat captian bitch and Bitch how business is down and they are filing claims with BP for lost wages and they dont even want to work. Unfortunitly I have to go with him again because this was a trip I won in an auction to raise money for an 11 year old boy with cancer last month. I had bought it particually for this weekend. 

Well Monday I was running around with my head cut off, trying to get my two closings that were suppose to happen last week done.One had failed the water test so i was getting another sample. Had to run the well for two hours to flush it. Next one is the short sale that has been going on since February. The husband served the wife with divorce papers the day before closing. Now she was refusing to sign the papers. GRRRRR.  

Zach Pitched today for the GCL Braves.. didnt do very good. 1 inning 2 runs 5 hits and only 1K..I kinda got on him trying to push him...He doesnt get to pitch but like every 4 days and I think he is not staying focused. in 2 games his ERA jumpped from 0.00 to 4.15

Finally on Tuesday My second sample came back good so we can close. wooo Had to mail out all the packages to the buyers and sellers since they all left Friday when we didnt close. Then by luck Ms Sanders answered the phone today. I explained the consequences of her not signing the papers. We had a legal binding contract she could be sued. The house was just about to go into foreclosure as a paymenT hadnt been made in a year and that would ruin her credit. She said she didnt know a notary and didnt have the money to pay one to notorize her signature. I got on the internet found a Mobile Notary in New Orleans and sent him the papers and got him to go to her home at 6pm today to get everything signed and sent back....

At 635 Roger called me it was all done and in the Fed Ex Box.. Cost me $150 out of my pocket to get this done but I had to do it.  Well I should get paid Thgurday on both my closing... I hope..lol..... Got an accepted contract today also on an $80K home. Nothing to brag about but a dollars a dollar.....

Who said Real Estate was easy money????????? Every Deal latley is a jumping thru hoops expierence....

ANOTHER OFFER ON A HOME FOR SALE IN PANAMA CITY FLORIDA

ANOTHER OFFER ON A HOME IN PANAMA CITY FLORIDA. Today started out kinda hectic. I had out monthly meeting at 10 am this morning. Having stayed up late play poker with friends and not being a morning person anyway I was dragging a bit this morning. I got to the office a bit early to try and get a few things started before our meeting.

As soon as I sat at my desk Judy, one of the other Realtors, walks up and say do you have your idea to share today. I said what Idea..lol...I forgot we were suppose to all do a presentation on something to help the others in our office out. So I scrambled around the internet and found a few good ideas. How to follow up with your customers better and spend the first 2 hours of your day prospecting. Prospecting could be as simple as calling old customers and just saying hi. Then at the end ask them if they know of anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.

During the meeting my phone was ringing off the hook. I am suppose to have two closings this week. One Wed and One Friday. The Wed one is my mobile home people and they havent got me the power of attorneys to get the titles so we can close. I hate selling MOBILE HOMES...  I called them all day and never got an answer or a returned call.....They are wearing me out. The other one is going pretty smoth should close without a hitch.

I had showings yesterday afternoon with a new customer. Today he wanted to look at a few more homes. He is STATIONED AT TYNDALL AFB here in PANAMA CITY. Just had been transferred in and was trying to get a home now so his family could move down. Just a little starter home under 100K. Well we found one this afternoon he liked and we are making an offer on it. Its A short sale here in panama city. Should take a few weeks but will get done.

I have two other deals working, one on my LISTING and one I have the BUYER. The listing an offer was made we are still negotiating. The other is a CONDO AT PANAMA CITY BEACH. They wont counter our offer....GRRRRRR..

Watched the all star gane and cleaned hpouse up some tonight.. Now its nite nite time..Sweet Dreams
