Greetings,

I look forward to meeting with you. The following is a little history about me.

When I was studying in school, I had one teacher who made a difference for me.
That was Mr. Schaul, my math teacher. I was sitting in the front row and he was
explaining algebra. Of course I wasn’t focused on the subject, but he called on me.
He got my attention! He asked me questions. Showed me how to work the problem.
And by golly, the light bulb turned on. I got it! So thank you Mr. Schaul. I am
forever grateful.

I don’t know if this is why I love teaching. But I do love watching people learn the
process of buying and selling real estate. When the light comes on, I feel happy.
I feel good.

When we get together, don’t feel shy about asking questions. The more you know,
the more you will enjoy your real estate experience.

Until we meet,

2708 Shagbark, Jefferson City, MO 65101

What a price reduction! The home located at 2708 Shagbark, J.C., MO 65101 is now reduced over $20,000. We started at appraisal price of around $147,500. Now we're at $122,500. Because the house was vacant and it got super cold, a water pipe broke. Didn't matter that the heat was on low and the water was turned off. ServPro is fixing all the damage. They used 40 fans to dry out the house. Now they are beginning to install drywall and paint. Depending on the weather, depends on when they can finish.

You can see why the seller is super movitated to sell the house. They are done worrying over it. Not to mention they are part owners with their son who died unexpectantly last year. What a grievous situation. Too much for an 81 yr. old dad and mom to deal with.

Mortgage Interest Deduction in Jeopardy

The Washington bureaucrats are discussing the elimination of the mortgage interest deduction. Of course, the NAR is strictly opposed to this. The interest deduction has been around for some 80 years. We believe the elimination of this deduction would hamper the economic recovery. It would affect the mind sets of buyers. Buyers are already reluctant. Let's not add to their wariness.

Have a short sale? How soon can you buy again?

Transfer Tax Amendment

Thank you to everyone involved in the success of placing the Transfer Tax Amendment on the Missouri ballot this November. The verbiage, however, is confusing on the ballot. The intent is to stop any future transfer taxes. Voting YES will prevent any future transfer taxes. So on amendment 3, remember to vote YES. Vote YES to stop future taxes. Have I repeated myself enough?

Transfer Tax Amendment

The Missouri Attorney General began to defend the Secretary of State's position on discarding valid voter names on the petition abolishing transfer taxes. When MAR sent a Call to Action to our Missouri Realtors, the Attorney General's office was immediately inundated with a 1000 emails. It was so overwhelming, the Attorney General requested a stop to the Call to Action. I extend a "good job" greeting to all who responded. Our voice is being heard!

Transfer Tax Amendment

Transfer tax will come to a vote in Missouri! Through the valiant efforts of our MAR committee, the courts agreed there were enough valid signatures on the petition drive to place "transfer tax" on the ballot. Voters will now have the opportunity to say YES, they never want a transfer tax levied on real estate at the time of closing. When real estate owners pay taxes every year, there is no reason for owners and buyers to be further taxed. Enough is enough.
