		<title>Disney World Vacation Post Mortem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the last week, the four of us have been visiting Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.&#160; I thought that a list of what went well and what didn’t would help both myself and others. I hope that this information will also help others planning vacations both to WDW and to other places. What went [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nelyacalev.wordpress.com&blog=1496520&post=605&subd=nelyacalev&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>You must show me a house on Christmas Day, but I do not want to use an agent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why is it the holidays seem to bring out the worst in people?&#160; On Christmas Eve, I receive a call from a buyer interested in a property located next to a property I just sold.&#160; This property is of course listed by another agent. First the buyer asks me a number of questions about the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nelyacalev.wordpress.com&blog=1496520&post=599&subd=nelyacalev&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Dealing with questions about the obvious</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As most of you know, I deal with several bank owned properties at the same time.  These properties are typically in high demand and therefore I receive quite a few calls a day on them.  I can deal with serious questions, but the following conversation (which on some days occurs every few minutes) really can be [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nelyacalev.wordpress.com&blog=1496520&post=596&subd=nelyacalev&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Watch out when you remodel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I have seen several foreclosed homes caused by the previous owners spending too much on remodeling.&#160; The stories are all very similar.&#160; The owners decide to fix up the place and spend a great deal of time and effort making their home look perfect.&#160; In the meantime they run their cash reserves so low [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nelyacalev.wordpress.com&blog=1496520&post=584&subd=nelyacalev&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Attention moron agent.  Stop killing my house value!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Currently there is an agent with three properties for sale in my neighborhood.&#160; These three properties are killing the resale values in my area.&#160; The interesting thing about these properties is they are neither bank owned nor are they short sales.&#160; Property values in my city as a whole are staying roughly the same.&#160; However, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nelyacalev.wordpress.com&blog=1496520&post=582&subd=nelyacalev&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>We need stricter penalties for agents</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently while driving down my street I saw something interesting.&#160; A house that had been for sale for some time at $425,000 had a &#8220;sold&#8221; sign on it.&#160; That was moderately interesting, but what I found far more interesting was that it had a new sign advertising the price now as $475,000! I was quite [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nelyacalev.wordpress.com&blog=1496520&post=581&subd=nelyacalev&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
