Landlordin’ It

A lot of my job requires me to learn new things on the fly.  Especially these last several days as The Donald has been “out of the office.” I have had no choice, but to figure things out on my own while he has been unavailable for consultation. Nonetheless, while I have done nothing but [...]

Blogging? What’s That?

I’ve been a bad blogger.  It’s been almost one month since I have updated my beloved blog here.  However, my cage was rattled today by my boss who encouraged blogging in our latest video for work.  Our work recently has included preparing for several upcoming seminars on property management and Web 2.0 that is heavily [...]

Young Professionals Are Going Round

Missouri YPN (Young Professionals Network) is gearing up for their next event on October 1, 2009 when the Missouri Association of REALTORS® has their quarterly business conference at Tan-Tar-A in Osage Beach. We are a member driven organization that helps young professional REALTORS® excel in their career.  Let me recap what YPN brings to the [...]

Scripting & Re-Scripting

So the first video wasn’t what they wanted.  Back to the drawing board and re-script it.  I would post it, but the first draft isn’t what you should publish, so you will have to wait for the final revision. To re-cap, The Donald and I have been selected to present our “8 Effortless Tips To [...]

Wearing The REALTOR® Pin

I love my job and I love what I do as a REALTOR® and Property Manager. Part of the REALTOR® organization and profession is an unwritten rule to be proud of who you are and what you do.  There are code of ethics courses that every REALTOR® must take each year along with the continuing [...]

You’ll Get Your Deposit Back (or not) Within 30 Days

I’m sure you’ve heard me whining about our extreme high vacancy rate in our rental properties.  Although the market does seem to have picked up and we are renting property again and things are getting back to the norm.  We have one street that has 28 houses and 13 of them went vacant June 1st.  [...]

It’s Gettin’ Hot in Herrree

I debated about whether or not I should title this post “Recycled Summer Time Post.” It seems like I write about this every year, and maybe because every year I get the same dumb complaints from Tenants about their a/c units not working properly.  I’ll probably get dumb comments on this post like I did [...]

Burma-Shave Inspiration

At work we are running a new rent special promotion of which I have implemented today.  It’s the first of it’s kind as we are needing to get some property rented. Although the details don’t really matter, but for the curious readers out there…if you sign a lease with Dizmang Properties before July 15th then [...]

Choose Your Roommates Wisely

I’m stuck on the couch with a raging case of strep throat and have actually taken a sick day of which I almost never take.  I don’t like being down and out like this, especially with no voice, but it has given me a lot of time to think.  In all of this mindless thinking, [...]

Diabetes365 Project

It only seems fair to talk about the Diabetes365 Project since I am driving to St. Louis 3 times this week for JDRF related board meetings and events.  Diabetes has been the only thing on my brain this week. You may have heard of it before, but the Diabetes365 project is documenting life everyday of [...]
