Open Question: How do I determine my business titles?
I started a real estate and rental business and I would like to have business cards made up for me and my wife. I need to develop titles for both of us.

I am the founder and person doing almost everything. My wife often steps in and takes my place for simple tasks like accounts receivable, home showings, and house inspections. My wife also assists with property selection.

I thought about President and Vice President but that makes it sound like we have employees with lower titles.

Resolved Question: Is there anything wrong with being a do it yourself consumer?
I’m a 38 year old widow. After my husband died in 2003, I realized that the life insurance money wasn’t going to go very far, unless I became extremely frugal. Over the last 7 years I’ve taken many, many, many classes, and I’ve obtained quite a few certifications. From Personal Trainer (www.witseducation) to Building/Construction. I’ve literally saved thousands by being a do it yourself consumer. Some of my family members think that I’m obsessed with being frugal. But that’s not the case at all. Why pay someone else to do a job, when I can do it for a fraction of the cost?

I can give you a really good example of what I’m talking about. In 2007, I took a seminar on how to flip houses and buy houses for the back taxes. This was also the same year that I had taken courses in real estate, realtor, and housing inspection. I knew that eventually I wanted to buy a house of my own. Up until 7 months ago I was living in a very cheap, garage apartment near my job. I decided that I was ready to move into my first and only house. I bought a 1,700 square foot, 3 bedroom, 2 bath house, with a two car garage, for the back taxes. The house has a swimming pool. I paid $4,312 for it all. Because of all of the classes I had taken in Building Construction, Interior Design, Cabinet Making, Furniture Making & Refinishing, Sewing. I spent $23,000 to have the home of my dreams. I got a huge tax refund, and I am using that toward an international adoption.

When I had my house warming party everyone from my job, asked me who had decorated my home. I proudly told them that I had did it myself. I also told everyone that I had made all of the food as well. Everyone was shocked, because they thought I had paid a professional to do it all for me. Nope it was all my hard work. I love that I can do things for myself, and I know that it will be done right.

So I’m asking all of the people out there reading my question: Is there anything wrong with being a do it yourself consumer?

Resolved Question: Am I locked into doing business w/ this real estate agent?
I looked into selling my home & contacted an agent who did a comp analysis. He gave me a selling price I liked,( I didn’t like that he wants us to pay all closing, inspection, and survey fees) so I told him I wanted to talk it over with my wife (this meeting was on a Friday)
Sunday he called me and told me that he wanted to meet my wife at the property on Monday. She arrived and he already had his sign in the front yard and the photographer on the way. The house went on MLS the same day, but I never signed the contract or sellers disclosure.
I feel that I am not under any contract, nor do I owe him anything other than a testimonial that he is quick and efficient at listing.
Am I obligated to this agent for anything?
Thanks!!
