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 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 127 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 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 Heaven written by Corey Taylor and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2013-07-16 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slipknot and Stone Sour singer Corey Taylor's New York Times bestselling journey into the world of ghosts and the supernatural Corey Taylor has seen a lot of unbelievable things. However, many of his most incredible experiences might just shock you. For much of his life, the Grammy Award-winning singer of Slipknot and Stone Sour and New York Times bestselling author of Seven Deadly Sins has brushed up against the supernatural world. Those encounters impacted his own personal evolution just as much as headlining at Castle Donington in front of 100,000 people at Download Festival or debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top 200. Since growing up in Iowa, his own curiosity drew him into situations that would've sent most people screaming scared and running for the hills. He's ballsy enough to go into the darkness and deal with the consequences, though. As a result, he's seen ghosts up close and personal, whether while combing through an abandoned house in his native Iowa as a child or recording an album in the fabled Houdini Hollywood Hills mansion. He's also got the memories (and scars) to prove it. For some reason, he can't seem to shake these spectral stories, and that brings us to this little tome right here... At the same time, being an erudite, tattooed, modern Renaissance Man, he was never one for Sunday Service. Simply put, he's seen ghosts, but he hasn't seen Jesus. Taylor especially can't find a reason why people do the insane things they do in HIS name. That's where everything gets really interesting. His second book, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven, compiles Taylor's most intimate, incredible, and insane moments with the supernatural. His memories are as vivid as they are vicious. As he recounts these stories, he questions the validity of religious belief systems and two-thousand-year-old dogma. As always, his rapid-fire writing, razor sharp sense of humor, unbridled honesty, and cozy anecdotes make quite the case for his point. You might end up believing him or not. That's up to you, of course. Either way, you're in for a hell of a ride.

Book excerpt: Nobody – and the whole of Boteju Land agreed – could cook like Maudiegirl. She wielded a wizard’s wand not only in the kitchen but also over domestic problems, however large in magnitude; from predicting the sex of an unborn child to knowing more than a dozen ways to cook eels; from cutting a goat in the right way to setting failing marriages straight; from nursing the ailing to health to keeping the best kitchen, Maudiegirl had a solution to every little problem. Her home was her castle and the kitchen her domain. In the fourth serving of his Burgher chronicles, Carl Muller reverts to his favourite family, the von Blosses of his first ‘Burgher’ book, The Jam fruit Tree. A hungry family and a wonderful cook, a kind paedophile, a cantankerous mother-in-law, a disloyal husband, good-for-nothing uncles, prudish Pentecostals, Dunnyboy’s exhibitionism, Sonnaboy’s show-of-strength- the author captures the hallmarks of the von Blosses’ days and ways in his quintessentially irreverent, witty and heart-warming style. Maudiegirl and the von Bloss Kitchen features many of Maudiegirl’s famous recipes making the book a treat not only for Muller fans but also for the senses!
Download or read book A Funny Thing Happened written by B. E. White, Jr. and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-08-29 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The humorous stories that Dr. White tells about in this book are all about people in and out of the church and the ups and downs of life in the parsonage. Funny things can happen at church, and the behavior of some religious people can make you laugh and laugh. Behind the humor in this book is often a spiritual truth. But this is more than a religious book. It is about changing times in North Carolina for three quarters of a century. Dr. White keeps telling about things he has learned during this time, or maybe he is subtly teaching his readers to learn with him what religion is really all about. The people in the stories may seem like someone you know in your own church or family. The comical stories will entertain you while you ponder their meaning. The more serious ones may touch you deeply.

Book excerpt: The book is about the absolute. What would reality be if you had the opportunity to do whatever you wished, with only one stipulation. The prerequisite that you had to accept responsibility for all of your actions, would it really be any different than the reality you experience now? The story relates the effects of massive rationalizations that befall us all, regardless of the circumstances, it flows from the ridiculous, to the demonic, and asks the one unavoidable question, where am I, and how the hell did I get here? All of the players find themselves rolling the proverbial blind dice, and then making a random, disconnected choice based on serendipity, even the given reality is a juxtaposition between oblivion and the unknown. Its all about, The Danger in Being, choices, and the slings and arrows that inevitably follow.
