Give where you live! The giving season has begun and while the national and international charities will appreciate your generosity, there are many ways to give locally that will impact your community for years to come.  One organization that I have joined this year is the Junior League of Riverside.  It is a community service organization that has contributed to the Riverside for decades.  In my opinion, it is a worthwhile way to spend my time, when I am not selling real estate. How do you give where you live?   11/09/2013

It's Fall So Update Your AR Blog's Wallpaper This was what my blog looked like this morning but I decided I needed to add some fall trees instead of some summer flowers. Here I added a larger picture so I get the double images. AR recommends 300X300 and this was 399 X 295. I made the photo smaller, 314 X 219 and I am pleased with it. If you cannot remember how to change your blog photo, go to my older post "Update your AR Blog for Springtime" as it has all the steps and will refresh your memory. Happy Fall!   11/04/2013

The One Thing To Keep Your Real Estate Business Alive Since I started in real estate, I have heard from 3 separate and successful brokers, several office managers, many Motivational Speakers & Coaches, and handfuls of Top Producers.   Everyone has their own opinion of what we should do to keep our busness alive and how to make a profit. The ABC's of making a living at real estate and the ins and outs. Some experts claim the internet is the only way to stay successful, where others say farming and post cards are the way to keep yourself busy with listings. My own brokerage, Gary Keller, says 'Scripts" are the way to make a success by being able to answer any question. Many have written books and the list of things to do goes on and on. Some things work and others do not. One thing might ... 09/28/2013
