It’s such a gorgeous day this morning, that I don’t feel like writing anything about hard-core real estate. So I’m just going to hit some recent highlights.
There was a 5.2 earthquake in southern Illinois that some people felt here a little after 5:30 am. I didn’t feel it … did you? We had one back in the early 80′s, I believe, that I DID feel. I had just moved into a new apartment and thought the building was falling down. We had a bird at that time, and he freaked out because something was “rattling his cage”. 
Obviously we’re not accustomed to having the ground move under our feet, even though there is a fault or plate that runs under Ohio.
A client called this morning to say ‘hi’. They’ve been at their Florida condo since November and are getting ready to make the trek back to their Westerville home. She said they had more northern visitors visit them in Florida this past winter. Gee, I wonder why.
The company that mows my lawn stopped by to cut down my ornamental grasses and edge the beds. What normally would have taken me all afternoon, took these 3 young guys a half hour. And they haul away all the grass fronds, whereas I always had to try to stuff them into the brown lawn waste bags … getting a lot of cuts on my arms from the serrated leaves. Sometimes it just really pays to have someone else do the work.
Speaking of having someone else do the work, several agents in my office (including me) received an email flyer this morning from a FBSO asking us to help them “sell their house”. The email told us all the “great things” about their home (but with bad photos) and that they would pay a co-op fee. Then they went on to tell us to NOT to bother calling them about listing their home, because they didn’t want to use a real estate agent for THAT. D’ya suppose we could ask them to not spam OUR inboxes either?
Lots of open houses have been set up for the weekend, so buyers put on your comfortable shoes and go find your perfect home. Rain is forecast for the morning, but it’s to stop by noon. You can find all Real Living HER open houses at RealLiving.com. Two of my listings will be held open. Agents are setting up showings for the weekend as well. If you’re a “fence-sitting-buyer”, it’s time to get off the fence or you’ll lose out. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
Well, I’m off … hope you enjoy the day!

Elaine I bet it felt good hearing from your Florida clients. I like your ’round up’ a lot! Let’s hope the weather forecast does just what you suggest!
I always enjoy talking with this particular client. She’s so bubbly and upbeat!
What a gorgeous day it was!
