What’s the real business of a Steak House? Is it to cook steak and sling drinks? NO. Their real business, if they crave raving ...
“You should blog about that.”
Running out of ideas. There comes a time in every blogger’s life where it seems as if the well has run dry. There’s no ideas, there’s nothing exciting to report, and one more photo post will drive them over the edge. Recently, this hasn’t been the case with me, but I have had it happen. As a new real estate ...
Are You Getting the Message?
Mixed Signals Recently I’ve noticed a trend when calling fellow professional to perform the tasks I do in my day to day work.

Communication Ain’t What it Used to be
My post title is just wrong and I am not just talking about the word “ain’t”. Communication has not changed at all.

What is Social Media’s Shelf Life?
Virtual Real Estate We’ve all heard them… You know, the Brokers and agents who disparage the use of technology and more specifically social media in your business practice. The conversation is something to the extent of “Get from behind that computer and go sell!” To an extent I agree. I know that technology is a good venue by which to ...
I Sound Like an Idiot, Even When I Don’t Mean To…
Has it happened to you? I only recall one saying that my father ever said, and it tends to come up more often in my life, than not. “Son, don’t let your alligator mouth over-ride your mosquito butt…” I tend to realize that I’ve said something inappropriate after it’s already out there.

The Comment and The Damage Done
Sticks and stones. I’ve been seeing a lot of negative comments on websites lately. Maybe it’s because I’ve been doing a bit more research and reading than I had this summer. They range from constructive negative disagreement to wildly overplayed personal attacks. I am not against negative things in life. I actually find them quite useful. I do not find ...
