It's All Relative! Think of how much our business...ALL business has changed.  There are plenty of new devices to use, strategies to master, and an ever changing technology curve to deal with that seems to get steeper every day.  While we chase the current things to stay "on top of our game" ther...

That's What I'm Hearing... Every week I hear from a different agent in my market that they are calling it quits.  I mean they don't search ME out specifically...it just seems to come out in general business contact.  I know we have some consolidation going on and there are those that are trying t...

It's that time of year! I am a Fantasy Football nut.  I love the NFL and I'm almost as fanatical about the idea of drafting and managing my own virtual team.  I'll be honest...I am so brainwashed by this obsession that I've been thinking of a way to blog about FF and tie it into this forum. So he...

No Pain...No Gain!

In Debt.  This film is an official 2008 selection for Sundance Film Festival. Looks pretty interesting.  The websit...

This one has me stumped!  Last week I was at one of my listing properties - the owners are out of town and the home is vacant.  While restocking some marketing items inside the home I noticed a car pulling up.  The car stopped, a woman got out, and walked to my sign and "info box".  She took one ...

I used to occasionally spend some of my marketing money on print...very limited but I usually got a good return on my investment.   Not so much now.  Most of my leads  and business is coming from the web and other types of marketing.  Anyone else see a slowdown in print return?  I know we need to...
