House #26: It’s Not Our Fault!!!

November 16, 2011

Anyone who knows me or who reads my blog probably knows that a central tenet of my business philosophy is, “If *ANYTHING* goes wrong in my business, it’s my fault.” Sure, other people will screw up, other people will let you down, other people will lie, cheat and steal; but, there’s almost always something I […]

August 11, 2009

After having The Red Garage House under contract to sell for several months, it’s now been back on the market without an offer for nearly a month.

House #7: Third Offer

May 7, 2009

Hopefully the third time is a charm in trying to sell The Roach Duplex. After a ridiculously low offer that we turned down, and after a failed attempt at getting a buyer to follow-through on their contract, we now have a third offer… My wife received a call this morning to check the duplex out, […]
