My Twitter Test

October 17th, 2007

gundygrouptwitter.jpg

For the while now (feels like forever) I have been hearing and reading about a site/service called Twitter. It has never really sounded all that interesting to me. Well, today I decided to just stop fighting, swallow my pride, and start twittering. But there is a twist, I am only going to do it for a month. If I don’t care for it…Done! If you’re really interested in where I’m going to lunch or that I’m updating my FaceBook at 2 a.m., feel free to check it out!

Tell me what you think about Twitter. Do you use it? Have you tried it? Sick of hearing about it? Love it…post your own Twitter link!

Picasso’s Featured Listing

October 15th, 2007

Today I thought I would try my hand at being Pablo Picasso. I started making a few faces using Mr. Picassohead.  Then I decided to make him a real estate agent, which was kinda tricky.  I made the home out of two noses, an eyebrow, and some other random objects.  I think if Pablo were in the real estate biz, he would of have some great marketing materials (and closing gifts)!  Next up…. sculpting.

Dreaming of Your Dream Home

October 6th, 2007

Ever think about what your dream house would be like?  I know you do!  Everyone does it.  Now you don’t have to just dream about it, you can have the blue prints (at least a part) and a description.  Here’s mine…

Your kitchen is someplace you never go, because you “have people for that.” There’s a Chocolatessen, which is rapidly becoming your favorite room of the house. Having one is also becoming a trend among your wealthy neighbors. Your master bedroom is the size of a small barn, with carpet thick enough to reach your ankles. Your study has hardback editions of every classic ever written, plus a special edition of Rich Dad, Poor Dad with the parts you ghost-authored highlighted. One of your garages holds your collection of ferraris, and is measured in acreage.

Your home also includes a guest wing and private quarters for your servants. Outside is your hedge maze and gardens, meticulously tended by a team of world-class botanists.

Whether your “real” dream home is a cabin in Sundance, a condo near BYU, or what ever. If it’s in Utah County let us help you find it!

Our New Payson Pad

September 30th, 2007


On September 11th we signed papers and moved into our new place. We’re loving it! It’s in Ridgestone Condos in Payson. It’s on the west side of the freeway across for Wal-Mart. It has been a long time coming, since construction was suppose to have been completed in early June.   Here are some of the things we love most about it:

  • It’s not someone else’s basement.
  • Indoor swimming pool (coming soon).
  • Friends live in the same building.
  • No mowing a huge yard.
  • T-Mobile tower near by.
  • Rachelle loves the kitchen.
  • Tax write off!

Won’t you be our neighbors - We will be listing a unit in building #1 in a week or so… If you would like more info, feel free to contact us.
