Single Step
SINGLE STEP What an effort it was today to complete my four-mile walk. I don’t just walk, but I keep the pace that would excite a drill sergeant in boot camp. However, what made today different was that I started on my excursion later in the day, the heat was already climbing, and I had not been feeling too well for the past two days.

Expectations
EXPECTATIONS Here I go again, expecting those around me to live up to my standards. I just don’t understand why my friends and family so often let me down by not acting the way I want them to.

Your daily lament about the lost daylight, cooler days and lack of spending time with your favorite outdoor activity (special note to my golfers). However, Continue Reading
Staying Positive
STAYING POSITIVE In the Las Vegas real estate market, there are ups and downs, smiles and frowns. One thing I’ve learned about real estate is that the ones who truly care about the business and their clients are the ones who stick through it. Fortunately, I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with a group of very level headed, dedicated and caring agents who make the everyday effort to Continue Reading

KINDNESS IS THE NOBLEST WEAPON TO CONQUER WITH "Kindness is the noblest weapon to conquer with." - An American Proverb Las Vegas is the epicenter of the foreclosure hurricane and it is affecting our friends, our family, and our neighbors. We have a reputation of being less neighborly in Las Vegas than other areas because we fence our yards with block walls. This crisis as well as the upcoming Continue Reading
The Forecast is for Rain
As I write the May Newsletter, I am sitting here at my office desk, looking out the spacious window that views a flowering plum tree and a multitude of blossoming shrubs and trees whose names have long escaped me. I am quite fortunate to have an office that allows me to keep in touch with the beauty of the outdoor landscape. This view has inspired me on many an occasion. Today the sun is shining Continue Reading
