- Another day, another opportunity. I wish I could remember to be this excited every day. #
- @tyr nah, I accepted too many folks I'd never met, devalued "friends'" value. I have been considering using a new, private email though. in reply to tyr #
- Trying to decompress in advance of an early morning. Problem w/ showing houses all day every day is other stuff gets … #
- RT @chrisbrogan: Man, I totally did Facebook wrong when I set it up. Now, I get invite spammed dozens of times a day. It's a CHORE. [Ditto] #

- RT @PhxREguy: Hot damn, just bought some new britches 4 inches smaller in waist than what I had. The Evil Elliptical works. #
- A seller who counters an offer with a rejection is choosing to ignore a conversational opportunity #

- Really with Realtors would not call me for feedback. Please-send an email with a photo of the property. They run together after 50! #
- Another day of showing houses. Crozet/Ivy this morning, Charlottesville & urban ring this afternoon #

- @superninjarobot Besides, two new coffee shops are as good, if not better for the Crozet community than the new Harris Teeter! in reply to superninjarobot #

Unbelievable.
“Effective immediately FannieMae will no longer accept electronic signatures.” Why? Why???? This is the sort of thing I'd like to see Congress and the National Association of Realtors address. The inefficiencies created by needing wet signatures are tremendous. Printing, signing, scanning/faxing. Only to be told…
