Putting your best face forward

Putting your best face forward

Shailesh raged against a situation where information was simply dismissed because it was obtained from a blog. I understand his frustration. Many ethical, smart and honest bloggers spend time and dispense expertise with integrity. However, it is no secret that with the eleventy billion blogs out there, all the “information” being passed is not necessarily accurate. It is this underlying ...

Moving more than the stapler

Moving more than the stapler

So, I decided to change brokerages. It wasn’t nearly as dramatic as some of the stories I have heard. In fact, it really wasn’t dramatic at all.  I made a decision, those involved respected it, and everybody else seems really happy for me.

It’s the Naked Aggression

It’s the Naked Aggression

If I had been posting on AG longer, I would ask you all if you have missed me. As I have not, I will just assume that you didn’t notice. What? You DID notice! How sweet! I have been a bit busy, but I am getting it together. Did you know that for most folks in the real estate industry ...

I’m Bringing Sexy Back

I’m Bringing Sexy Back

And probably no more real estate talk here than I do over at my place. HA! Blogger Formally Known as “He who’s name must not be said” – got you! You thought you could invite the blogger that has been dubbed Top Notch but Not Real Estate by the famous Larry Cragun over here and I was just going to ...
