Houck: The Process
By DAVID HOUCK
Qualifying Broker
Atomic Realty LLC
You have interviewed Brokers and you have decided who to work with, NOW WHAT?
While every transaction is different, a common transaction may include:
- We suggest the Seller having a whole home pre-listing inspection done, it’s not required, but suggested. By the Seller having an inspection done, Seller’s can address any, some, or none of the inspection issues and usually reduce selling time and further Buyer negotiations.
- Next, a flurry of paperwork will come your way for electronic signature – Don’t worry your Broker should take care
Tarantello: Markets Continue To Showcase Their Resiliency
By SHELLY TARANTELLO CFP®
Financial Advisor/Branch Manager
Wiemann Wealth Strategies/Raymond James
Events through March would again test a market that has continued to demonstrate resilience. While volatile conditions remain, and despite equities’ February retreat carrying into mid-March, the major indices ended the first quarter of 2023 up.
If one were to look solely at the headlines, this may have come as a surprise. In the days before the Ides of March, the failure of Silicon Valley Bank for lack of liquidity stoked concerns of panic-induced bank runs and a bank-collapse contagion. Read More
An Open Book: Passover, Glazed Donuts, And Graduate School
By DAVID IZRAELEVITZ
Los Alamos
Passover, glazed donuts, and graduate school do not mix well. This is a fact that I encountered, for five consecutive years, while laboring on my doctoral degree. Full appreciation of this physical law requires some background, so please bear with me for a paragraph or two.
Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is the Jewish week-long holiday celebrating the Biblical Exodus of the Jews from Egypt. There is a ceremonial dinner, called the Passover Seder, that begins the holiday week and introduces the observance of the ritual laws surrounding this holiday, and central Read More

With Holy Week here, some of my favorite dishes are beginning to make their annual appearance at my dinner table with much fanfare. My Aunt Pauline came over to visit this past weekend and we were talking about all the delicious foods our moms and grandmas used to make like panocha, alverjón maduro and torta de huevo. It was always a delight to help in the kitchen as these dishes graced our tables but once a year and the opportunity to watch a master making each dish was a rare occasion that Read More
Gruninger: Do You Need A Wellness Budget?
By JACCI GRUNINGER,
MS, C-IAYT
Los Alamos
Did you know there is more than one way to be tired?
The Wellness Wheel I use as a yoga therapist and inner relationship focusing coach is divided into seven categories: physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, financial, environmental and social.
I regularly work with clients in the emotional, intellectual and physical realms. Although the other slices sometimes play into my work as well.
You might think there is only one way to be tired; you didn’t get enough sleep. Which is definitely a way to be tired. However, as you can see from the Wellness Read More
Leonard: Can We Live Healthier By Syncing Up To Mother Earth?
By LAURA LEONARD

The field that is generated by and surrounds all living organisms is known as the biofield.
Invisible to the naked eye, the human biofield is composed of the frequencies, vibrations, and energies released by the cells of our body.
Research studies on the human biofield show an intimate connection between external sources of electromagnetic energy and the human biofield. This interaction also appears to have an impact on our physical, mental and emotional well-being.
To date, there has been no conclusive evidence on negative health impacts Read More
LARSO Announces Troubling Move By State For Seniors
By BERNADETTE LAURITZEN
Executive Director
LARSO
An open letter to the community.
On Monday, the Aging and Long-Term Services Department and Area Agency on Aging informed senior centers across the state that there would be an end to Grab and Go or Drive Thru lunches. The date for this has been determined for April 14.
I am dismayed that we didn’t have notification before a newsletter was sent out or the time to ease people off the system and find additional resources in advance.
I understand the senior socializing is important, but everyone isn’t lucky enough that they can do it. It is also required Read More
