December is a month for business planning and reflection. As I reflect on 2010, it's obvious to me how a positive working relationship with a loan officer is critical and how poor communication flirts with disaster. It's monster real estate--two-headed style. My metaphors can get a bit odd (and this one may be leaning in that direction) but stay with me here. The two-headed monster ...

Includes so much more than material goods. In Truth, we need to give of ourselves toward the betterment of someone else - known or unknown. For example, give a pint of blood, and you help someone who caught a hand in the snow blower.

"Since I am still new here, lots of people ask me what my goals are for the City of Edina. It strikes some people strangely that I have not entered this job with a clear set of 10 well written goals for what I want to do in Edina.

I read various blogs. It's part of my job to keep up to date on information and opinion surround the field of real estate. Most of the time, I take an interesting tidbit from the piece and move on. However, this morning I am stuck in contemplation.
