Corvallis “Top” List
Corvallis, Oregon frequently makes the “top list” for one reason or another… I’m going to start posting them, as I run across them. I think it will be fun to see how many I can collect:

Every Day Real Estate | It’s Just Like on TV (not!)
The questionable antics of everyday real estate: 
Although I’m a real estate professional, please note: I am not delusional enough to think my life is, or ever will be glamorous a la Selling NY or Selling LA or Million Dollar Listing. In preparing for today’s open house I stepped in something of indeterminate nature which was in the middle of the cul-de-sac. I suspect the leavings of the local deer population–which is for some reason in my mind better than the other option, huge dog. I knew immediately that something was amiss by the slippery nature of the event.
A slight delay to open house prep as a result of the need to clean my shoe (glad I noticed before I went inside). I’m guessing that Madison Hildebrand (whom I have met–seems nice, been photoed with, but do not know), The Kleirs or any of the other agents featured on TV would NOT need to clean off their shoes prior to commencing the open house (although, if they stepped in deer poop, I would hope they would…) In my case you could call it “all in a day’s work“.

Intregity In Life… Really “Getting It”
Through educational experiences and blogs of others that I follow, I’m often exposed to inpirations pieces. This one came into my life as a result of post by Sean M. Carpenter a Director of Training at a Coldwell Banker Company (Coldwell Banker NRT in Ohio). This particular post really resonated with me. If we all aspired to the attiitude that this young man has, the world would be a much better place. Take a minute and listen. Sean, I agree “This Guy Really Gets It”.
Although this clip seems like it’s all about sports, I think it’s really all about life.
