Hurt people hurt people.
It’s simple, really. Everything bad that people do in relationships stems from something bad that happened to them. It’s not an excuse. It’s not a defense of the indefensible that some people do. It’s just a glaring, obvious motive. It’s the reason. It doesn’t make the bad thing right, but it might help someone understand. How are you supposed to feel when you’ve never met … Continue reading Hurt people hurt people.
2 Years
Today marks a sad anniversary for me. It’s been 2 years since my (ex) wife told me she was falling in love with another man. The last night we slept in the same bed – though I didn’t really sleep. I was in survival mode. I wanted to save my marriage at all costs. I knew something was up, but I never would have guessed … Continue reading 2 Years

Being a Realtor 101
“What’s it like to be a real estate agent?” I wish I could say people have asked me that in my 7+ years in this field, but they haven’t. They have their own idea.

Stereotypes The general stereotype for real estate agents is not … Continue reading Being a Realtor 101

Please tell me agents in SE MN understand the difference between NorthStar’s well regulated “coming soon” program (where no showings are allowed until the home is on the market for all buyers) and a broker having an “Exclusive Buyer Program” where only that broker’s clients see their coming soon listings for 2 weeks prior to any other buyers, right?
