Homethinking

Homethinking is an online service that helps home owners choose the most remarkable neighborhood real estate agents to sell their house. We measure performance by monitoring real estate transactions to know which houses each real estate agent has sold, for how much and how long on average it took them to do so. There are also user reviews by home owners who have sold their house with the particular agent that helps determine the rank of them. If you’d like to know more, read our manifesto and why the decision to engage a real estate agent is possibly the most financially significant you will make.

How does it work? — Homethinking shows you transactional histories of real estate agents and mortgage lenders.

Bag of Randomness

  • Sundays seem shorter than Saturdays.
  • My pastor said something that stuck with me.  He mentioned that when a person is asked to list his or her blessings, usually forgiveness is forgotten.
  • I helped a neighbor install a microwave above his range, but in doing so I smashed my pinky and some of the nail is still hanging on.  I finally got it to stop bleeding, but I keep brushing that nail on everything and it smarts, too bad it’s not to a point where I can just cut it off.  All that to say, don’t be surprised if you see lots of typos.
  • That new Wal-Mart clown commercial is funny, but the first time I saw it I grimmaced in pain.
  • A lot of the weekend was spent cleaning and organizing, and it looks like we are going to go to Half-Price Books to drop off a lot of books that haven’t been opened since we lived in an apartment.
  • When I changed my oil, it was recommended that I get new shocks because one of them is leaking or something, but I don’t feel anything different when I drive so I’m just going to put it off.  Also, I just want a new car.
  • Sometimes a sandwhich just hits the spot.
  • Watching a football game, or some other huge nationally televised event, and reading tweets makes for some very good entertainment, and provides quite a bit of perspective if you follow professional in the field.  Reading tweets last night during the Vikes/Saints game from NFL players and analysts was quite interesting.
  • Last night’s game is why men love sports so much – unscripted drama, stuff you just can’t make up.
  • Brett, come back for one more season, it’s so much fun to watch you play.
  • Favre’s last pass as a Packer was an interception in the NFC Championship Game.  Could the same be true for him as a Viking?
  • Cowboy fans I’m sure are angry, since hey did beat the Saints at their place.  Further more, their coach was once on our staff.
  • I’ll be rooting for a Saints victory in two weeks.
  • Shawn, let this moment sink in.
  • It’s the first time two teams that play in a dome will be in the Super Bowl.
  • One of my favorite Olympic stories is the story of Dan Jansen, but with Visa overplaying that commercial, that moment is becoming ruined.
  • Finally got caught up on watching Friday Night Lights, my gosh, that’s got to be the best drama on television.
  • Just found out that you can make your own playlists and mixtapes on YouTube.  Article
  • Church preaches about ‘My Screwed Up Family’ – I thought the pictures were funny.
  • New Lost promo with a few clues.
  • For you Harry Potter fans, this new addition at Universal Orlando looks pretty cool.
  • Interesting photo, but I wonder if it would work.
  • Football games only have 11 minutes of action
  • Dancing Storm Troopers
  • Apple Tablet?
  • Not sure if this is a true story
  • Brits think bacon comes from sheep
  • Grace
