RT @Rob_Aubrey: If U wouldn't hire a Realtor build a house, Y would U hire a builder to sell your house #slc #ut #justsaying — #
Uploading a video for a client … candid property videos are immensely valuable #
For the life of me I can't find the 300 page amendment for HR2998 online #energytax #
Listening to John Boehner – need to fact check what he's saying, but if true, HR2998 may be *devastating* for American housing #
@Acscholl It makes no sense. https://www.realcentralva.com/2009/06/26/sign-here-and-dont-bother-reading-this-contract-i-havent/ – How can they vote on something they haven't read? in reply to Acscholl #
@ARDELLd Here is the Nest "wall art" – https://www.flickr.com/photos/jimduncan/3588715237/ in reply to ARDELLd #
RT @ARDELLd: @JimDuncan LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new Avatar, Jim!!! [Thanks, Ardell!] #
The National Association of Realtors SUPPORTS this hr2998 energy bill? Thanks, NAR. But did they READ it? http://blog.sunlightfoundation.com/2009/06/26/friday-fun-how-fast-can-congress-read/ (no longer available) #
@tomperriello's site is down/slow – "The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request" http://perriello.house.gov/ (no longer available) #
Rep. from Texas asking for a copy of the bill they are going to vote on. There is apparently not a copy of the bill available. #noconfidence #
@deliawl Unfortunately, on the one day I was in an extreme rush, as I get to the register the credit card machines vomited. I'm hungry. in reply to deliawl #
@Noras_Mom Nope – Bodo's take Visa and Mastercard. (thank goodness) in reply to Noras_Mom #
One appraisal came in ok. Waiting on another, home inspection in a bit … Bodo's first though #
By the way, I love me some @eatatEppies http://www.yelp.com/biz/eppies-charlottesville#hrid:QzWWjfvT3BqowIDqG6VuGw #
I love that Shenandoah Joe's on Ivy is playing a bunch of Rush right now. Easy to work to, not so easy to talk on the phone. 🙂 #
@justincbeck You're correct – i believe they were asking about the Claudius Crozet tunnel. in reply to justincbeck #

@stuntspeaker @abellahomes I know this about Google Wave – it's going to force me to get a bigger monitor in reply to stuntspeaker #
Going to lunch @eatateppies in a few minutes #

If you think negotiating w/ buyers,s sellers, builders, etc is challenging, try negotiating with a 5 year old #
@cloudberryman Is Cloudberry Mac compatible? in reply to cloudberryman #
@TomRoyce I'm starting to play w/ S3 for company cloud, but I like Vidlisting for my real estate vids & Viddler for video interviews. in reply to TomRoyce #
@TomRoyce They did it to me a couple years ago. Professional stuff can't go there. http://www.geekestateblog.com/online-videos-for-your-real-estate-website-or-blog/ in reply to TomRoyce #
@superninjarobot Viddler, Vidlisting, maybe Youtube b/c they're big, but their quality stinks #
Heard that Vimeo yanked videos again in the last few days. Why do people still use them for professional purposes? #
I just posted a new Studio Turtle Creek Attached for $117,000 – https://www.realcentralvarealestate.com/74 #
Back on Seesmic for now. Tweetdeck is great, too, and the differences are subtle. #
RT @ArinSime Dempsey, Altidore and Howard all ROCK! USA soccer in the finals of the Confederations Cup! Who would have believed it? #
"Stop the presses" is meaningless on those under 25. #
RT @aaronstewart Cool!!! We are going to have government sponsored TV too, just like China and Iran, AWESOME. Thanks ABC!!! #
@stevewhitaker #cvillepiefest seems to grow every day. And it all started on Twitter. #

RT @NRVLiving: @JimDuncan by all appearances, staff driven. I know, so where's the accountability? Digging into that now [fire staff] #
RT @mrg7175: ethics is about following the "golden rule" [agreed. Then why is the Realtor Code of Ethics 9 pages long?] #
@NRVLiving question I still have re: your MLS debacle – was it staff or member driven? #
A very cool time at CHO. Huge thanks to @BHutchinson for setting things up. I'd definitely try to fly out of there if possible #
I hate when I misspell things on Twitter. #
Trting to figure out why Charlottesville police need 2 traffic cops in the Jeep to write parking tickets #
RT @TheRealClint If I killed a guy driving drunk, Id bet the sentence would be longer than 30 days. #justsayin [not if you had $$$] #
@1000wattmarc I follow those who I think will add value to me and to whom i think I may add value. The # is ever smaller. in reply to 1000wattmarc #
RT @outskirts New blog post: C-Ville Commuters Eat Dirt – Lose All Parking! http://ixcamx.com/uhgru?src=571 [I care more now that my office is here] #

@drewlawrence That's a fancy new glamour shot you have there. in reply to drewlawrence #
Bald eagle population *increased* w/ the development of Bundoran Farm – https://www.realcentralva.com/2009/06/21/bundoran-farm-how-all-development-should-be/ – awesome. #
@jbinfrisco I'd seriously consider switching to iPhone if they weren't on AT&T; service is iPhone's achilles heel #
@amywebb It's difficult to see need for revolution/innovation/reinvention from the inside. 🙂 in reply to amywebb #
@amywebb It's frequently insiders who 1) have the most to lose and 2) are the strongest opponents of improvement/evolution in reply to amywebb #
RT @DRPnet CAAR Strat Plan: It is hard to think outside your paradigm. Does CAAR need a paradigm shift? [They need to consider a shift] #
@DRPnet what about the ones that say it *should* not be done? #
@SteveGaines62 Jon & Kate's popularity is a clear indication that Americans' priorities are astoundingly out of order #
Wondering how the NAR's radio show is doing. Has anybody listened? What's their website? #
RT @gibsondm: Think twice before setting up an auto-DM. Then slap yourself for even thinking about it. [auto-DMs are spam-a-rific] #
@sashafarmer When planning for the association, please ask "are we doing what we should be doing, & what should we *not* be doing"? in reply to sashafarmer #
@justincbeck 0830. (I'm a single parent this week/month, you know!) in reply to justincbeck #
@justincbeck Lamentably no – I'll be at Java Java on the Downtown Mall at 8. Tomorrow morning? in reply to justincbeck #
@BeeRealty I've blocked about 25 "people" in the past 36 hours. Frustrating. #dang in reply to BeeRealty #
Crozet Volunteer Fire Dept. Car Show sign – https://twitpic.com/86fve – I like how this marketing is useful in our small town #
Putting in a new listing, blocking lots of Twitter spammers this morning. #
Uploading a video of the kids to my wife, who's out of town. #
@AgentSolutions nope. Not yet … #
@AgentSolutions OSX 🙂 #
RT @genuinechris RT @copyblogger: Think "writing" instead of "blogging" or "tweeting." – @clarkster [amen] #
RT @jeffgunther Today was important day for me personally!The World,please meet Intalgent's dream team- @RyanSAdams, @justincbeck, @maeread #
Finished showing houses for the day. Off to get my kids and do some more real estate stuff. Poor kids. #
RT @mlbroadcast I remember when you would only see API or UPI as the source of images in the news, today its TwitPic and YouTube #
Dear Obama: if I want to see a doctor and pay cash, I'd like to be able to do so. Sadly I cannot. Fix that, please. #
RT @cvillepodcast Jim Duncan of Nest Realty @jimduncan joined Rick Moore to talk a/b real estate on Wake-Up Call: http://www.cvillepodcast.com/2009/06/22/realtor-jim-duncan-evaluates-the-charlottesville-real-estate-market/ #
@1000wattmarc agreed. Once the sale is closed, they have no remaining rights; I still believe that the MLS is 4 Realtors, not public. in reply to 1000wattmarc #
RT @Vidlisting: Real estate blogging won't be the same- FTC to monitor blog claims & disclosures of relationships http://tech.yahoo.com/news/ap/20090621/ap_on_hi_te/us_tec_bloggers_freebie_disclosures (no longer available) #
1st question appraiser asked: "how long was it on the market?" If you think days on mkt don't matter, you're probably wrong #
@tinainvirginia if they don't want the price in the mls, tell 'em not to *list* it in the mls. It's the Realtors' system, not theirs #
@tinainvirginia @bnix @charlottesville @monicamcnamara @1000wattmarc sales price in the mls is as pertinent as number of BR & BA. #
Off to meet an appraiser. #
I'd appreciate six more hours between now and four o'clock, please. #
@jmckeever that and the monorail. #
I'm going to give posterous a try this week. I've had the account for a while, but haven't used it. #
Wife's gone for work for a few weeks. Single-parenthood, here I come. #
RT @rerockstar Offer finally signed after great negotiations. Awaiting countersign and away we go. Hooray for days like today. [Congrats!] #
@ErionHouston meh that I was showing houses rather than watching the games. 🙂 in reply to ErionHouston #
US -v- Egypt or Brazil -v- Italy. Meh. Neither off to show a couple houses #
