All the Moo's that's fit to print

Overall prices appear to have increased by about 8% over the same period last year (see charts below) while overall unit sales have declined a fairly dramatic 20%. An interesting twist though is that the Naperville Luxury Home market (Homes priced at $1,000,000 and over) has taken a significant j...

 During the last buyers market (late 80's early 90's) I spent a lot of time driving people around. When I was really new.. I would take them around until they would "buy or die" (die - figuratively...)As I was learning to take better control of my business I had the good fortune to see Steve Stew...

The city is struggling in their return from Katrina and they are glad to see us. The Cyberprofessionals  had a great meal at K-Pauls (yum!) last night. With a meeting time of 8:30 am (breakfast starting at 7:00) certain CyberPros were setting up their spots by 6:30 am. We meet every year at NAR a...

You never know where these things can lead... For many of us (those of us that are old in Internet years) our first experiences with online communities came from Prodigy, AOL or Compuserve and the forums that they offered. But, except for getting specific information, they never really grabbed my...

Since I'm already working on 2007 business planning it seems appropriate to finish off 2006... In the "old" days I would scour the stores looking for Christmas/Holiday cards that (of course) featured cows. I've had years with great cards and years with fairly lame ones. Some years I'm really good...

Does it bother you that there are a lot of off topic posts, people goofing around, just having fun?Aside from not reading those posts... you could learn a lot from them and the posters... try participating... The "The Lovely Wife" just had a massive blog on nicknames and she started it all with s...

OK. So now that the rating system has been changed...Each year at the NAR trade show the Cyberprofessionals go around putting stickers up on the booths we think merit special attention that say "Cool Spot"... (look for them on Saturday at the trade show!) it's a great form of non verbal networkin...

I recently blathered on about a couple of small applications that I love, today I received the new cnet.com newsletter and they are talking about little tiny applications that are great. I've been using tweakui forever, but always forget to tell people about it...  Many people love infranview, I ...

I haven't paid much attention to Michael Russer in the past few years. I like virtual assistants and have had one for several years (we called her a "stay at home" assistant then) but that's not really the info that I was looking to get from him, so I stopped paying attention. Being a member of t...

Do you return calls for showing feedback? My assistant Leslie calls all agents for feedback, then... if we don't hear back we'll give it one more try.  I warn the seller's up front, that we are not going to chase the agents down anymore than that... we still want them to come back. We are probabl...
