Emergency Preparedness – Location, Location, Location. In a real estate training course in Utah the instructor commented: “when selling upscale bench property, throw the drapes open, look down and exclaim LOOK AT THAT VIEW! When showing valley floor properties, walk out to the center of the back yard, look up and exclaim LOOK AT THAT VIEW!” “ It is also important to qualify your prospect to see if they want to have a garden or not.” …
Emergency Preparedness – AAA Planning For the Highway of Life. It’s hard to understand other drivers. All we know is what we see them do, and they all act so differently. Californians don’t drive like Utahans, Coloradoans, or Kansans (State motto: If the corn ain’t up, you can watch ourr dog run away for three days).

Payor: “Good news: interest rates are down. I’ll refinance and borrow more.” Payee: “Bad news: interest rates are down. Where can I get a better return and less risk?” “If I was offering an investment that you could put your money in and get an immediate 50% return, you’d beat my door down to buy it,” said the financial advisor. “Look at your mortgage amortization and see how much you will save in interest expense if you…
We are admonished by the Lord to seek good men for public office who will uphold the constitutional laws of the land. Likewise, the Book of Mormon prompts us to obey the God of this land, which if we do, we will be protected from all other nations under heaven. How we vote seems to have a lot to do with what we choose to do on Sunday. Religious leaders of all faiths are encouraging everyone to come…
