Zentloper Xmas Letter 2022

Lo and behold– it’s a Christmas letter! Stunning! Magical! Magnificent!

Well, I hope that’s how you feel opening this. 😂 Before I write these things, I scroll through my photos and make a list (and check it twice *wink*) of what’s happened. It felt like very little had happened this year, until I did that scroll. Turns out, plenty’s happened! So lemme share some highlights...

Neil and I both got promoted! 🎉 Neil ocially became a Data Analyst in April of this year. He’s still at Amazon, and does a lot of audit-related stu at the warehouse to ensure accuracy and junk using various code. Maybe one day if we’re really lucky, they (or another company) will recognize his value and pay him appropriately, cuz right now he’s still making peanuts. 🥜 As for me, SEMI had an opening that was a 20% pay bump and more reliable hours, still WFH, so who could say no? I’ll admit, it’s not the kind of exciting job I prefer... like operating roller coasters🎢 or dancing up on stage, but I’m smart enough to recognize a good thing when I see it: a flexible, reliable gig like this will be really beneficial when we eventually have a newborn around. 🍼

We’ve gone all sorts of places this year, as my wanderlust is never quite satiated. In January (to get me, and the Prius Neil’s folks gifted us, back from Cali), Neil flew over and we road-tripped back to our Texas home, spending a couple nights at the Grand Canyon’s cabins. The snowfall was gorgeous! We also hit Roswell, NM to see some aliens 👽 and a unique “immersive art experience” known as MeowWolf.

Neil’s sister Martha had her thirtieth birthday in May, 🎂 and the whole fam planned ahead of time to convene in Denver, CO where she and her husband, Chase, live in order to celebrate the occasion. I particularly enjoyed dining at the fancy restaurant Chase worked at, Guard and Grace– known to be one of the best steakhouses in the world! In July I joined my parents in Las Vegas to attend FreedomFest, a gathering of so-called Libertarians (calling them “so-called” because many of them were not actually very good at practicing Libertarian principles... 🗽) for many thought provoking panels and discussions. In August I took my Etsy shop “on the road” for a Sonic fan convention in Dallas, where I sold lots of stickers and buttons and the like– I think I recouped the expense of the trip... maybe! 😜 Then in September we had a pleasant camping trip in north Houston as well as a Ren Faire in Bastrop.

Think I’m done? Not quite! Last month we drove through Lousianna, Alabama, and Mississippi to get to Florida (upping the # of states I’ve visited to 23) for Neil’s maternal grandmother’s service. While she passed mid-Feb 2020 and was cremated, her interment was planned out far in advance so all her children and their spouses could attend; Neil and I were also able to make time in our schedules to go. I’m glad we did. We were graciously given a room to stay at his Uncle Adam & Aunt Rox’s home, and they were fabulous about showing us around some of the sights FL had to oer (even in the midst of Hurricane Nicole), like gators 🐊 and the beach. I’m determined to take them up on their oer to come back to see Busch Gardens next time!

We sure get around for being complete homebodies, ha. As for the house in Buda, we now own a partial stake. After my brother and his family moved out and into their own place down in Schertz, my folks and us drafted up a FSBO in order to “go halfsies” on the place. Finally, some sweet sweet equity! In order to pull o this stunt, Neil and I legally tied the knot at the courthouse on June 3rd. 💍 Neato. We are still planning to do a ceremony with friends and family at some point. We’ll keep y’all posted!

I continue to flex my creative muscles, be it whipping up some new seasonal place settings for our dining table, decorating the garage for a spooky Trick-or-Treat walkthrough 🎃 for the neighbor kids, or taking on painting projects to spruce up the joint (next up: baby room!). Also this summer I ended up reading quite a few memoirs by transgendered individuals 🏳️‍⚧️ as research for something I’ve always wanted to do: write an autobiography. I’ve spent a lot of time flipping through all the journals I’ve kept over the years (on my 40th), scrounging through my keepsake boxes, sorting photographs (digital and film), and bugging relatives for info. I’ve got 66,000 words down so far and a lot more words to go. I never was one for brevity.

I’d been hoping to announce some surrogacy news in this letter (have I dropped enough hints in this letter?), but unfortunately there have been delays. When Roe v. Wade got overturned in the summer, it caused a fair amount of panic nationally. A lot of appointments got scheduled in the reproductive health space, so we’ve been trying to be patient as things progress. That said, there has been progress: We’ve selected an agency to represent us, set up an escrow, and our potential surrogate is in the process of medical screening. Best case, it’s possible we could have a young one joining us late in 2023, but I don’t want to make promises when so many of the factors are out of our control. Can I take this moment to say, man, heteronormative couples have it easy... Just *boink* and baby!

In this increasingly digital world, I’ve decided to catalogue these Christmas letters 🎄online. So if you’d like to see letters from years past without digging them out of the shoebox you assuredly keep under your bed like me, or if you weren’t on our mailing list yet when I began in 2017, you can by going to the following blog:

You may even see some bonus photos there for this year!

Lots of love, y’all, and Merry Christmas!

Rick & Neil

Flat Fee MLS Michigan – REOZOM

The truth about real estate, whether you are buying or selling property is the fact that people have to go through a lot of clutter to determine the property which is best suited for them. When selling a property, this could mean the sale process dragging on for longer than anticipated and sometimes, this even leads to spending more on homes that could be worthless. If buying property, this could mean offers falling through and having to wait longer to own a home. MLS systems are quite new to real estate property management, but they hold the promise of making transactions easier for consumers. Here is what is important to know about Flat fee MLS Michigan from Reozom.

How much does it really cost to sell a house?

The cost of selling a house is not as little as many people like to think. First, if hiring a realtor to do it, expect that they will get about 6 percent of the total value of the home in closing costs. What this means is that if the home's total cost is $600,000, owners should expect that $3600 will go to the realtor. In addition to this, there will be other closing charges, which could amount to more than 2 percent of the total cost of the property. Finally, is the fact that they may also need to pay the brokers representing the buyer and since 93 percent of people buy through brokers, chances of having to pay one are very high. When homeowners make all these calculations, they realize that in cases where it could be possible, it would be best to get an alternative way to sell property as opposed to getting the realtors, and this is where MLS systems come in.

How do MLS systems such as Reozom work?

An MLS system aggregates all the real estate information that is given to them onto a website that any buyer or seller can visit and asses. As a seller, you register on the site, give information about your property from the price to the size, the specs, location and other essential details. The home is then listed on a platform that can be accessed by thousands of buyers, realtors, and anyone else interested in property. The biggest benefit which comes from the system is obviously visibility. Unlike the single listing with one realtor, the property will be visible to thousands of people that need houses and this increases chances of getting a buyer within a short period. The steps that you follow to list on Reozom therefore include:

Visiting the website and calculating the amount that you are likely to save from listing with them. This depends on the cost of the house.

Submitting details about the home and a description to accompany them.

Paying the flat fee of $395 dollars

When the submission is done, the listing will be posted for you. Buyers will contact you if they go through your listing and like your property and this way, they will schedule a showing. Since most of the real estate property showings and listings are happening online, Reozom has the potential of actually getting you a buyer more easily than a realtor.

What does Reozom bring to the table?

The next question obviously should be what Reozom brings to the table and why sellers need to have them as part of your transactions. Well, first of all, it is important to realize that once they pay the flat listing fee of $395, they will not need to make any other payments to them as the listing agent. Second and most important is the visibility that sellers get. Reozom will not only list the home on their own website, but they will liaise with other sites that are suited for your type of property to give you maximum visibility. They even list property on Zillow for their clients.

The other benefit that homeowners get from listing with Reozom is that being real estate property managers, they have met all the legal standards that are required of them. Therefore, all the transactions that you will be taking part in through them are legal which protects you from losses and other consequences which could arise from using unqualified real estate property managers.

Then, the site is open to everyone, including other agents. This means that if another agent views a homeowner's listing and thinks that it is an awesome fit for a buyer they have been interacting with, they will link you up with the buyer, which makes the sale process fast, efficient and stress-free. Currently, the site covers Florida and Michigan. These two states have a large enough catchment of potential buyers, which will speed up your sale.

Why you should trust Reozom with your process

There are many reasons to trust Reozom to help you make a home sale. First, when details of the property are entered, the listing appears within 24 hours, unless there are details that need to be clarified in which case support will help the seller iron it out. Second, the site is pretty honest about all costs. There has been a stereotype that sellers never really understand the cost of selling their property until they have to do it. However, Reozom explains the fees that sellers have to pay including the buyer's broker's fee and prepares you for any other financial obligations which they will have to make in the process. Therefore, sellers are able to adequately prepare for the financial costs which will be part of the sale. The service is also licensed as a real estate broker, which means all their operations are within the law.

Most of the property related transactions are happening online nowadays. For the property owner or seller, this means the fastest way to sell is to get the broker who will list you everywhere they need to be seen digitally. Costs such as photographers, repairs, showings and closing costs are also quite burdening, and it pays to have a flat fee listing service to ease the financial burden.
