Best bar in Minnesota as far as I'm concerned, plus we can push tables together for the group.Full Disclosure, my father own's the place.

What specific things do you bring to the table?

Thus the decision to table the license for now.

In other states a lawyer handles the paperwork and the settlement is done across the table.

I'm reminded of a joke:Buster was a truck driver and while taking his driving test he was asked what he would do if he was heading down a mountain side at 70 m.p.h and discovered his brakes did'nt work.He stated that he would first try his emergency brake and if that didn't work...he would try to downshift, and if that didn't work....he would try to run along side some brush, and if that didn't work he said he would wake up Wilbert (the guy who rides with him), so that he could witness the biggest crash ever.That was my philosophy when I first went into business.

Phone calls just second hand info, but the one this morning the 2nd hand info to me was there is another offer on house.As for bank the original offer was close to asking and a cash deal and the one on table is a few dollars more with strings attached.Understand new year and bank can do what there end needs to be, but why would the bank want another 60 days for $950 when they can close immediate.Small world because this afternoon have a counter offer from same bank on different property that looks acceptable for my end.

. - an agent who will find buyers, get offers and get the deal closed as quickly as possible).Personally, I haven't worked with many agents over the years because I can usually do the job faster on my own, but I know there are some agents out there who can certainly bring value to the table (IF you're lucky enough to find them).If you were starting out in a new market today, what steps would you take to find the best agent in your area?

Once you live here and see the mountains and river and the blue sky you wont want to leave.

Reminds me of some Colorado mountain communities and Gulf Coast hurricane zones too.I wonder how many people who think they're in "nice" neighborhoods don't realize they're in mother nature's war zone and she's one bad mutha.

Anthony,As you can see from the table I posted, the .357 has excellent stopping power (on par with the .45 and .40).
