Pat Sherman, The Dog, The Hill….The View
“…the bigger the hill the prettier the view…” according to Dr. Bertice Berry in her keynote at the Tennessee Association of Realtors® convention last week.

Ever Lost Your Dog….Your Best Friend?
That is what is looming over our Pat Sherman who inspired us to create For Pat’s Sake. We are well into two and a half years since Pat’s tragic fall and of Pat’s being in a care facility. Now the current facility says she can keep Bella, her companion yellow lab, if she is capable [...]

NAR Dues Increase Questions
This past week there have been many questions asked about the proposed 50% dues increase of $40/member/year. It seems as if the average in-the-trenches Realtor® is unaware of curtailed expenses and budget economies in the NAR budget that would have tempered a higher dues increase proposal. Some of the comments that surfaced in a Google [...]
NAR – Benevolent Foundation Proposal; Sensitive to Issues/People
NAR has several storms on the horizon: threats to the MID, GSE issues, the economy, Dodd-Frank, FHA. All of these issues are great concerns to the viability of home ownership and the ability of Realtors® to be successful. NAR is very sensitive to these issues as evidenced by the proposed 50% dues increase of $40. [...]
New Zealand Earthquake…a firsthand report…
A chilling account from Christchurch, New Zealand. Through Fred Grosse and Victoria Sinclair we developed our friendship and the Tuesday Sisters were born. It is wonderful to know that Fred and Victoria and all of their associates are safe. The email is from Dr. Fred’s staff. Dear Friends, I am not quite sure how to [...]
