I consider myself an "old school" real estate agent, I started in 1985.  I have seen numerous changes in the real estate industry over the years.  Many of the changes had been in regard to license law, but since the mortgage melt down starting in 2006 and the eventual across the board financial difficulties our country has experienced, major changes have started to take place in the entire real estate industry. This evolution is not over but is changing as we speak. What I'm seeing is that the traditional real estate franchise business i.e. C21, Coldwell Banker etc. are struggling. This business plan has been around for 50 years.  You purchase a franchise, rent or buy a nice office, and you hire a bunch of agents. The more the merrier. The office and agents ran adds in the local paper ...

Our friend and associate Lane Bailey with Diamond Dwellings Realty of the Lilburn, GA office (near Stone Mountain) was recently interviewed by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about his unique niche in the home market and his ability to market homes via the internet and social networking tools such as ActiveRain, Facebook, Twitter to name a few.  Lane also specializes in what he terms Garages with Homes Attached. In case you didn't get it, Lane is a certified car nut, but all around good guy. In the area of web 2.0 and social networking, he is somewhat of a guru and has quite a following of others in the real estate industry who seek his thoughts and ideas.

All Pizzas are not the same! For years I have heard pizza joints claim they have the best pizza. “Chicago style pizza here!” or “New York Pizza, eat in or take out!” Until I went to The Pizza Zone right on the border of the cities of Tampa and Brandon, I did not know the difference. Me, I’m a guy that picks up the phone and “get it done” guy. So I call closest "we deliver fast," national franchise brand pizza house. I have been doing that for years. But, apparently a lot of people do because every church function, every kids party or you name the occasion, orders the same brand name pizzas. Well my wife came home and said they had a pizza at their school that was really good and that I should try them out. So I grabbed the trusty Flip camera and went to The Pizza Zone to give it a try. ...

  Those of you that are enamored with Twitter and those of you who like a good stock investment tip every once in awhile, take note.  On paper, it seemed like a match made in heaven: A partnership between social networking giant Facebook, in whom Microsoft (MSFT) owns a 1.6% stake, and micro blogging platform Twitter was in the works. Then Evan Williams took over as Twitter's chief executive in October 2008, and tempting as it was, rebuffed a $500 million offer from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Williams had his reasons. The brains behind an earlier web 2.0 darling called Blogger -- which allows average Joes to share at will and was sold to Google (GOOG) in 2003.  Williams stated that he didn't think Twitter was ready to be bought out, too much unfinished business. Twitter and or Fa...

How bad have things gotten in today's economic times? Well I think we can agree, it's not the best of times to be hunting a new job, but if you are hunting, please note there is help. I located a humorous look at today's news and economic picture on a website called Minyanville, where they cover today's news and particularly an article on Job Resumes in a piece titled:  Economic Snapshot: How Are We Padding Our Resumes in This Economy?   If we can't laugh at ourselves and situations that we find ourselves in we will surely cry.  I choose the laugh route personally.  Bored, tired, depressed? Check out the Minyanville's website.
