One example was a meeting we had with clients on an offer we had on their home. My reply to Jade was that the people were not stubborn, but it was my job to help them clarify the situation so they could make an intelligent decision.  A home sale is a stressful event.  Money is involved, people don’t know where they are going, etc. My worst fear is if they call me in a week to ask if the buyer is still interested, only for me to say that they purchased something else or felt it “wasn’t meant to be”. Clients end up regretting their initial ‘stubbornness’.

The offer on the house was lower then what my client wanted and their ‘bottom line number’ was not going to keep the negotiations alive. If they didn’t work out a deal, my clients would probably have to wait at least 6 months for another offer because their home was more of a seasonal buyer purchase.  That becomes 6 months worth of taxes, insurance, cost of money, depreciation, HOA costs, and worry.  I outlined those costs for them and asked them to fast forward a month into the future. Would they still be happy hanging onto the house, paying all of the costs, going through hurricane season, etc? They ended up countering at a number which ensured a better chance of a deal happening.  Today the house went under contract! And thankfully there will be no regrets at having been too stubborn a month from now.

I guess I owe Jade a referral on this one!

New College Football Hall of Fame Photos

899 players and 195 coaches representing 291 universities in all 50 states will soon be on the move…..or won’t they? Rumors that the new College Football Hall of Fame might be “sacked” are just bad rumors. The new $82 million, 75,000 square-foot Hall of Fame building was scheduled to be completed in 2012 but was then pushed back to 2013. Now it’s back to the drawing phase.In the past few months there was talk that the facility might not take place at all due to budget shortfalls, but that rumor has been ‘spiked’ by the Hall itself. Phil Marwill, Director of Communication for the College Football Hall of Fame, in fact said just the opposite.”We are in the process of redoing all the Hall of Fame drawings, and we’ll make them available, which should be within the next two months. Major changes to the plans are in the works and we’ll be distributing them in the near future.Marwill said that “details will be put out when available” and promised that “they will be very cool.” It is not clear whether the 3-D theatre, tunnel entrance, or the third-floor interactive features will be slashed.The location for the Hall of Fame can be seen here in these new photos. The physical site is across the street from the Embassy Suites Atlanta at Centennial Hotel in what is currently the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) Green Parking Lot. This location is in the heart of Centennial Park and mere blocks away from the Coca-Cola Museum, Georgia Aquarium, CNN Center, Georgia Dome, and Phillips Area, to name a few.

The College Football Hall of Fame is presently located in South Bend, Indiana. It only attracts 60,000 people annually and is strictly a destination point. Atlanta Hartsfield attracts 75.9 million people per year and the city itself hosts over 16.5 million visitors each year. The exposure and the amount of visitors to the College Football Hall of Fame are enormous.Below is an alphabetical list showing all of the Universities represented and how many total players and coaches have been elected to the hall. Some surprising facts are how many Ivy Leaguers are in the Hall. For example, Princeton has 21 players and 5 coaches. The Ivy League schools were powerhouses in the early 1900′s. However, Princeton hasn’t had a member elected to the Hall since 1964.Brigham Young only has 5 players in the hall and 4 of them are quarterbacks, including Jim McMahon and Steve Young. Carlisle Indian School, which hasn’t been in existence since 1918, has 6 players, including 3 that transferred to other schools. Barney Poole was the player who represented the most Universities as a player (3), while Ara Parseghian coached the most schools (8). Ara Parseghian also is one of 5 coaches who represented Miami of Ohio, but oddly they only had one player who made it into the College Football Hall of Fame.
