QUICK NOTE: A couple of people suggested that I re-post this one that I wrote a few days ago, since it was not on the dashboard very long before getting bumped down on my blog by a featured post of mine. I am not receiving any points for it this time around. Thanks! The Austin American-Statesma...

As part of my ongoing effort to push myself outside of my comfort zone, I will be teaching a class on "Social Media 101" at Gracy Title's Spicewood Springs office on February 18th from 2-3pm. I arranged for an SEO class to be taught just before mine by Ben Finklea, CEO of Volacci Search Marketi...

One of our agents listed a short sale home in the Meridian area of southwest Austin (very near the Circle C golf course). It's priced at $279,900, but we anticipate that it will sell well above that price, based on the amount of interest already generated. Here are some of the basic features: Bu...

I got a ticket a couple of months ago (I think in November). Thankfully, it had been just over a year since my last infraction. This time, it happened in a school zone (darn). Admittedly, I was distracted, because I was running late taking my daughter to her art lesson. As a further pathetic ...

I spoke awhile last night with my good friend Liz Carter from Katy, Texas (near Houston). Liz has struggled with a number of health issues this past year, including hepatitis C (currently in remission, although I'm not sure if that's the exact term), a ruptured appendix, and intestinal surgery. ...

In case you haven't already seen my posts about this over the past couple of weeks, I have been hosting a talk radio show with Ken Cook every Tuesday at 11am Central time for one hour (noon Eastern, 10am Mountain, 9am Pacific). We used to do it asbout an hour and a half earlier, but we moved it ...

I realized that I hadn't written a real, old-fashioned milestone post in awhile, and I thought that watching the odometer cross the 30,000 mark for comments was as good as any other, since it is indicative of the relationships that I have developed here, as well as the value that I hope I've adde...

I could easily write several posts on this topic, but since I've had so many different opportunities this past month that have arisen from my blogging lately, I decided to write a post about all of them at once. And yes, that is a picture of my actual thumb! REALTOR MAGAZINE I received a call fr...
