Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gone are the days where real estate agents were the gatekeepers of knowledge about local real estate. In fact, potential buyers often know more about a particular property than agents as there is so much information about a property now available on the Internet. A buyer is often keyed in on a particular property and agents have to keep track of hundreds or thousands of listings that are constantly changing. So why hire a real estate agent? Simply upload some pictures and add some basic details and your incredible home will sell itself. If you are a buyer, just find the coolest home and go to the bank to get a loan. Not so fast! It has become easier to get your house online to market it to the world, however it has become increasingly difficult to keep the deal together and move it along to closing once you have a buyer. The real estate agent's job has evolved as it has become increasingly difficult getting from a fully-executed sales agreement to being handed the keys at the closing table. This book gives 123 issues that can arise once the contract is signed. No two deals are alike and there are countless issues that can happen prior to or at the closing table. You might be able to find a buyer on your own or pick out a house on your own, but chances are, getting to the closing table is another story.

Download or read book When I Wore S s on My Collar written by Henry Arrowood and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2024-09-12 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I Wore S's On My Collar is a collection of selected stories gleaned from the author's life journals over five decades. The stories tell about some of the unforgettable people who impacted his life during his childhood and teen years in Tennessee and the Carolinas and the thirty-one years he served as an officer in The Salvation Army in numerous appointments in the southern United States and the Caribbean. Some of the stories are funny, or at least they caused him to chuckle when the events happened and again when he wrote about them. Some have sad elements, of course, because they deal with loss, loneliness, and hurt. But mostly, they are stories of people who blessed, humored, challenged, inspired, and encouraged him and others. Some were characters, some saints, some both, many of them possessing not only the joy of the Lord but the ability to laugh at circumstances, at self, at the idiosyncrasies and imperfections in even the most pious – seeing humor in both the insignificant and the momentous occurrences of life, but doing so without taking for granted or diminishing the sacredness of things spiritual and eternal.

Download or read book A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Senility written by Jerry Page and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2020-08-16 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been percolating in my subconscious for more than 70 years. It may have mellowed a little over the years, but has lost little of its relevance or bite. As one of the premiere procrastinators of this and over half of the last century, I put it off as long as I could but finally acquiesced and the final product is now in your hands. If not for political correctness, the book would be longer and possibly less relative. Jokes are multi-dimensional. For everyone they delight, they piss somebody off. It’s a zero-sum game and we each identify with one side or the other. I found myself single again about 4 years ago, and moved half way across the state. One of the main advantages of a major move is that a brand new audience is right at hand. Over the last few years, quite a few of my new acquaintances have been telling me that I should write a joke book, and here it is.

Download or read book A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the White House written by Charles Osgood and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2008-05-13 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Osgood, one of America's favorite news personalities, offers a hilarious compendium of anecdotes from the last seventy years of presidential campaigns. With anecdotes from Harry Truman to JFK to George W. Bush, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the White House captures the wit and humor of the campaign trail. Culled from speeches, interviews, press conferences, as well as articles written by and about the candidates--no source is left untapped. From Bob Dole telling reporters after a loss in the primary that "I slept like a baby--every two hours I woke up and cried," and Barry Goldwater's comment that his talkative opponent Hubert Humphreys "has been clocked at 275 words a minute with gusts up to 340," to Adlai Stevenson declaring that "If I talk over the people's head, Ike must be talking under their feet," this is the go-to source for campaign humor. Just when America most needs a good laugh, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the White House makes the seemingly endless race to the presidency a lot more fun.
