Myself, I think multitasking is a big myth... Unless you call downloading a file or rendering a video and hanging out on Facebook at the same time as multitasking. Or perhaps watching TV and writing your blog post during commercials. I use two screens almost all the time, except when I’m on my iPhone. I normally have several programs, apps, and websites up, but I dance from one tab to the next like packets in a data stream. I find it hard if not impossible to actually do two things simultaneously, except maybe driving the car while listening to music. The closest thing to multitasking I’ve ever seen is working with Title Reps. They’re always juggling at least a dozen things simultaneously knowing an urgent something will come raining in at any second. It’s not a bad thing. I’m not ...

My neighbor, John, got X for his house, he told me so... I had a listing appointment today and I decided to approach the price question in a different way. I often get shot down when I give my price opinion and I thought I would ask the seller what she thought her house was worth and then I would give my opinion and justify it with my data. How refreshing it was to have the seller say, she had no idea what her house is worth and that is why I was sitting at her table. Most of the time, I am at loggerheads with the seller who has a predetermined price in mind. After all they know, or I should say, they think they know what the guy across the street got for his house or what he told them, he got. Many times they base their information on what the house was originally listed for. Not...
