My wife, Pam, and I spent a couple of hours fishing tonight off the marina in the Colonnades on our beloved Hutchinson Island, Florida.  Even though we do not have a condo on the water in the Colonnades, we have equal privileges to use all of the marina facilities.  Therefore, we decided to go ca...

I am sure that all of us Realtors that post on Craigslist have spent a lot of time chewing on pencils and wracking our brains for new ways to post our listings so that we are not......(halloween music in the background please)....."ghosted"!  I agree with Craigslist philosophy to "keep it fresh a...

Recently, I was showing a client some of our waterfront condo listings in the Colonnades on our beloved Hutchinson Island, Florida.  They were all value priced because so many of the permanent and seasonal 55+ buyers have yet to discover one of Florida's best kept secrets.  Every time that I look...

Maybe not so Dumb or Dumber.  This morning we played tennis with some great friends who have relocated to the Colonnades on Hutchinson Island on a full time basis.  My partner and I lost the first two sets badly.  She kept telling me, we still have a chance, reciting the famous Dumb and Dumber qu...

I just started a new book called Mega Creativity by Andrei Aleinikov, Ph.D.  The book was written to help us think out of the box or "Five Steps to Thinking like a Genius."  So far after the first three exercises, I am:  1) either daring or stupid (maybe both), 2) normal, and 3) limiting myself b...

CHANGE!  Yuck!  I hate it!  Windows 8!  New contract revisions!  New Listing/Buyer reporting software!  New everything!  When is it going to stop?  NEVER!   My wife, Pam, wrote a new country and western song.  The hook was:  "Change is sooooo complicaaaaated!   Oooooooh how I hate it!"  Okay, eno...
