Video Sunday... musically speaking, took a little turn from the normal. It's music. Odd music, and interesting music.

The January/February Market Report was posted for Gwinnett County on Monday. The blog points to the report on GarageHomesUSA.com. Here is a direct link.

I found out that after this year's cancellation, the Dakar Rallye is moving to South America. The pic is from flickr and are credited on the post.

I posted up a Message from the President... of the NAR, as well as the comment I submitted. As of this evening, it wasn't on the NAR blog yet... I don't think they want to publish a contrary opinion.

On Thursday, I was able to post something that makes me truly proud. Garrett has a New Little Brother!!! Jackson Bryce Bailey was born Thursday. Details on the post.

If you want to inexpensively Increase the value of your... garage, this is the post for you. I brought up some tips ranging from lighting to color and cabinetry.

I wanted to spend a few moments pontificating about marketing strategy. There are a lot of different ideas about marketing, both for agents and properties. The big question is... Niche marketing... or not? Both for agents and the properties they represent.



Remember, the new stuff is posted directly to LaneBailey.com first. This is just a recap... You might also find my blog on Active Rain. The content there is about 95% unique.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday... Videos, Hummer, Jeep, big rocks, steep climbs... Sunday is video day.

The GBR4WD Club announced their 5th Annual Mud 4 Blood Drive in connection with LifeSouth, Bass Pro Shops and 4Wheel Parts. This year's event will take place on May 10th. Are you a blood donor? Mud 4 Blood.

Short Sales are all of the rage in real estate right now. The NAR is telling agents to learn the new specialty. There are scores of seminars. Lots of agents are now "Short Sale specialists." Sorry, but I think it takes more than a quick course to make one an expert. I don't know it all.

But I can tell you that Price ≠ Value. Too many people have bought into the idea that a discount from list is the same thing as buying below market value.

In the next couple of days, I will be sending out my first E-Newsletters. Get the E-Newsletter. Sign up at LaneBailey.com.

With sadness, I learned of the death of Boyd Coddington. He contributed a lot to the world of hot rods even for those that weren't fans of American Hot Rod. The art of his creations is self evident.

For the last entry of the week, I just wanted to say Thank you! I write so that people can read it. I know that I have between 30 and 70 readers on any given day. And I appreciate that EACH OF YOU take a moment from your day to see my rants, opinions, observations and news.
