Well, it is a little more difficult to dress in the red, white & blue and Christmas at the same time. However, we had a few in Johnnie Dodds that accomplished that:

Kim Peasley-Parker & Pat Del BeneHoliday Party: The Manning/Santee offices had an extraordinaire Holiday Party this past Monday ---- I do believe everyone in the Manning/Santee areas were there --- there was a huge crowd and there was so much beautiful food. You Manning/Santee sales associates outdid yourselves --- What a great party. Hopefully, we can get some photos of that affair for my blog.
Education: We had a big crowd yesterday in Charleston for the Ethics course. It went really well and I am looking forward to teaching it in Manning next Thursday --- from 9:00am to 1:00pm in the Manning office.
Did you know? Hopefully, all of you are aware that you can only receive money in a real estate transaction from your Broker --- all commission checks at closing must be written to your broker.
Did you know? If an agent calls you and ask you for the expiration date of one of your listings, your must give it to them ---- if you don't, they have the right to call your seller.
Did you know? After Jan. 16, 2009, Builders will no longer be able to offer incentives only if buyer uses their mortgage lender and/or attorney. RESPA violation if they do.
Did you know? As soon as you get a Buyer Broker Agreement signed by a buyer potential, you are supposed to turn it into the office. Then when you get the contract ratified, you turn that in and it will be added to the file with the buyer broker agreement. This is SC License Law. I know that we have not been good about that, but we must change. Please be sure that you abide by this law in the future.
Did you know? Since the maximum for a small claims court claim is $7,500, I am suggesting not getting an earnest money for more than $7,500 ---- makes life so much easier if there is a dispute.
Did you know? IOP office has a new Broker-in-charge -----
Ken Roe, previously with Carolina One in Charleston has taken over the BIC responsibilities of that office.
Welcome to Ken.
Did you know? Becky Hayward, Residential Mtg., has challenged me to a Christmas clothes contest. Several others in the JD office have joined in. There is 1 point for each Christmas "thing" you have on at one time. Because of my having to be "professional" for teaching, she is up on me, but -------- just wait. Yesterday, Becky got 5 points and I only got 3. But today, I got 7 and she got 5 ----- I've got a feeling that this may get out of hand.
Until later -----

Jenny, Liz, Linda & Becky managed to do that ----
Know the line has held, your job is done.
Readers may be interested to know that these wreaths -- some 5,000 -- are donated by the Worcester Wreath Co. of Harrington , Maine . The owner, Merrill Worcester, not only provides the wreaths, but covers the trucking expense as well. He's done this since 1992. A wonderful guy. Also, most years, groups of Maine school kids combine an educational trip to DC with this event to help out. Making this even more remarkable is the fact that Harrington is in one the poorest parts of the state.
Have you heard about the contest in the JD office? Becky Hayward (our awesome loan officer with Residential Mortgage) challenged Linda, Jenny & myself to a contest to see who could get the most points for Christmas. Each article representing the holidays that one wears gives her 1 point. Today was the last day.
