San Antonio Memorial Day 2010 Message

This Memorial Day 2010 message is from the San Antonio Home Quest Realty Services Team.

Today, we pause from our busy schedules to honor the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and coast guard members who died while defending their country.

Our Nation’s strength, freedom, liberty, democracy, and values are built and preserved on the sacrifice of generations of uniformed service men and women . They have fought our wars and preserved our peace. They have spread America’s message all around the globe. Without them, our world would be a different place. For them, we are eternally grateful.

And, while honoring the sacrifices of the departed and their families, take a moment to also give thanks for those currently serving at home and far away. Remember them always and support them and their families any way you can. They, and those before them, are our Nation’s finest and deserve our highest tribute.

Happy Memorial Day to all from the SanAntonioHomequest.com Realty Services Team.

Social Media - WYSIWYG

Are we having fun yet? We Facebook, we Twitter, we Foursquare, we Link-In in, we You Tube, we blog on Trulia, Active Rain, and broadcast on U-stream. I have learned so much, I have forgotten what I didn't know.


This morning I received a blog about ettiquette on Social Media. Please - can't we apply the same "Miss Manners" rules that we should have learned as children? I guess there are some of us that have to be told to put our brains in gear before we open our mouths, or in this case before we engage the keyboard.

Which brings me to my subject: What You See Is What You Get. What is your social media image? Is it schizophrenic? Is it Party Animal on your personal page,

and on your business page all buttoned down?

Anyway, my point is, as Shakepeare so aptly put it,

"To thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night, the day, thou can not then be false to any man." 

If you are a warm, fuzzy person, let it show!  If you have a no-nonsense, aggressive, forceful personality, let her rip!  Some people will identify with either type. If you are truly anti- social, what are you doing on social media anyway? Find an anti-social site.

Express yourself, but be yourself. If you are true to the same image, the same self throughout your web presence, it stands to reason that you will attract customers that are looking for someone with your true characteristics and your personality. It also stands to reason that your business will be much more rewarding, and maybe just alot more fun.


In the real estate business we are the ultimate multi-taskers, but that doesn't mean we have to have multiple personalities in our web presence. Gotta face it, our customer/clients are smarter than we are. They Xobni us, they track us down . . . oh wait, we do want to be found, don't we?

The late great George Carlin said it well in this You Tube video - Enjoy!

Home Buyer Tax Credit Not Over For Some Military & Foreign Service Members

If you are a military, foreign service, or intelligence community member, Congress has granted special exceptions that might have extended your eligibility for the $8,000 first time home buyer and $6,500 repeat home buyer Federal tax credit programs. 

For the general public, the tax credit applied to qualified home purchases under contract before 30 April 2010 and closed by 30 June 2010.


However, the programs have been extended for some qualified service members on official duty outside of the United States for at least 90 days between 31 December 2008 and 1 May 2010.  For those home buyers, the tax credit applies to sales with a binding sales contract in place on or before April 30, 2011 and closed by June 30, 2011.

Go here for an excellent summary of the extension rules brought to you by the National Association of Home Builders.
