If by now you haven't notice my blog has the intials that I've been known by through the years. Folks often ask me, why are you called J. W.? My silly response is that I was named after my mother's two brothers. One was James and the other Walter. When they learned that I was name for them, they were so disappointed that my mother decided simply to use my initials. But that is not true. My mother wouldn't have me leaving you with a false thought.
I tell folks in the churches that I've served as pastor that some people thought it stood for Jehovah's Witness. That's okay, but it doesn't resonate well for a Baptist preacher. But of course that's not so either. In the Real Estate world I proudly say that many folks think that the J. W. stands for John Weiland. But that's not so either. I was named after my uncles but they shorted my name to JW simple because they didn't want to use either of my names. But you can think of me whenever you see the marketing for jwhomes. That will remind you that you know someone in the Real Estate business that you can call for all your real estate needs.

Welcome to my Thoughts
This blog will traverse many trails, and perhaps some trials. My main purpose will be to answer questions related to Real Estate. However, I'm like most Americans, I have at least two opinions about most subjects, and each one of them is right. So, I'll be pontificating about current events, past adventures, and future hopes. Some of it will interest me, and perhaps once in a while I'll hit on a subject that lights your wood, it your wood isn't too wet.
Most people looking to buy a house or to sell one knows too little about how the real estate laws, and other related subjects operate. I'm inviting you to post questions that you have about how it all works. For example, most people aren't aware that when an agent puts a sign in your yard that other licensed agents can sell that property. I've been surprised to find that most people think that only who we call "The Listing Agent" can sell your property. Too few people know how the money is parceled out when you pay a 6% commission.
In this time of uncertainty about real estate prices, I think it's a good time to answer your questions.
