Hands Free Cell Phone Law In California
July 1st, 2008 Categories: Humor
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Could we be next?
My friend and fellow Keller Williams Agent Rob Mills in Walnut Creek CA reminds us that starting today, you can’t hold your phone to your ear while driving in CA. The new law applies to all drivers, of any age, AS WELL AS VISITORS FROM OUT OF STATE.
This is his solution if you’re driving to CA this weekend and don’t want to buy a bluetooth.
Sorry to get off topic, but it cracked me up, so I thought I’d share it.

It Sounds Cancerous To Live In The Suburbs Of Las Vegas
January 4th, 2008 Categories: Humor, Las Vegas Real Estate News
One of the many reasons I focus on the fabulous rebirth of Vintage Vegas is because the street names don’t make me laugh. We ran out of good names for streets about 5 years ago.
If you want to see what I mean, you’ll have to go below the fold by clicking on the “READ MORE” link below. Trust me it’s worth the extra click to see the absolute worst street name I’ve ever encountered.

Actually, this picture is from Toronto, and it’s the smallest home for sale there.
Mark T. sent me a picture, and thanks to google, I found all kinds of stories about it.
Thought you’d get a laugh out of it also.

Worst MLS Photo Of The Day - Corner Lots Are One Thing, But…..
December 4th, 2007 Categories: Humor, Worst MLS Photo
Every room has a corner, and I guess some are better than others. In fact some are so well built that they become a “feature” of the home that would make any buyer want to rush right over. Here’s two good examples.
The only thing worse than a bad photo is NO PHOTO AT ALL!

Worst MLS Photo Of The Day - How Much Time Could It Take?
November 28th, 2007 Categories: Humor, Worst MLS Photo
Sometimes I’m just baffled. Could it really be that difficult to stuff the newspapers into the vanity, close the door, and THEN take the picture?
At least the toilet lid is closed. I’ll give ‘em that!

Worst MLS Photo - The Funniest Worst MLS Photo Ever
November 27th, 2007 Categories: Humor, Worst MLS Photo
I couldn’t help doing a rerun on this one. Ask my subconscious why this photo was the setting for an argument in my dream last night.
The original caption that I used when I first published it in the old blog was
“Sometimes “funny” is just a matter of timing. I think it’s a timing issue, and not a subtle hint at the seller’s motivation”.
If you really get off on the Worst MLS Photos, you can see the first 2 months worth of them by following this link.

Worst MLS Photo Of The Day - Clutter Continues To Accumulate
November 26th, 2007 Categories: Humor, Worst MLS Photo
The “clutter” folder just keeps swelling in size. The folder is starting to be like the clutter itself. Once it starts, it takes a real dedicated effort to clean it up. I think the best time to do it is just before the agent takes the pictures for the MLS. Sadly, I think I’m the only one who feels that way.

November 25th, 2007 Categories: Humor, Worst MLS Photo
Even in the daytime, the light just never penetrated to the interior of the home. Buyers just love dark and dreary. This one should go fast!

Worst MLS Photo Of The Day -
November 23rd, 2007 Categories: Humor, Worst MLS Photo
It’s a great idea to mop the floors,and vacuum the rugs in preparation for putting a home on the market.
It’s important to leave the mop, and bucket, and vacuum cleaner handy so that you can be perfect if you get a call about an upcoming showing.
Since we took the day off yesterday, you get a double dose today.

Worst MLS Photo Of The Day - Add A Splash Of Bright Color To Dress Up A Room
November 17th, 2007 Categories: Humor, Worst MLS Photo
I like bright primary colors. I don’t see all the different shades of a colors. It’s a weird sort of color blindness. It gets me in trouble all the time when I call purple blue, and green brown. But Yellow is yellow! And I really appreciate it when people decorate with bright yellow.
