Real Estate – Play That Funky Music

Real Estate – Play That Funky Music

Isn’t it interesting how a person can hear a song and feel as though it were written just for them?  Nietzsche said, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” Last week I talked about real estate’s influence on  literature, and today I think we should consider how some of the most famous songs in the world were influenced by our often undervalued ...

The true test of any relationship.

The true test of any relationship.

Having friends is good. This topic is talked about all the time – the value of any relationship. Whether it’s our clients, our agent friends, our vendors, or the people we “meet” online, there is a value to having them. If there’s no value, then perhaps they shouldn’t be our friends – real or perceived. I got to thinking about ...

Alienation or Education – What’s your Point!?!?

Alienation or Education – What’s your Point!?!?

What’s your value? Recently there have been a number of indicators that my personal reservations, have been appropriate. I’ve been trying to be more deliberate in commenting and sharing on-line.  If I have no value, I want to be silent.  This means no wasting time trying to “correct the record” of someone’s inept opinion or debating semantics.  (I am finding ...

Giving Thanks Is What Its All About

Giving Thanks Is What Its All About

I love turkey, but I love to think about what I have to be thankful for too. The holiday season kicks off tomorrow (sooner if you believe that once you hear a Christmas song in your grocery store its “official”) and with that comes all the year end lists, the “what I’m thankful for” posts, and lots of general lovey-dovey ...

Real Estate Barcamps. The Good, The Bad and the Invisible

The Proper Thank Yous, But… I wrote my final wrap up post of REBarcamp Houston over at my blog yesterday. It’s full of the proper thanks yous, attaboys, and pats on the back. Was it a success? Absolutely. Am I glad I jumped in with all I had to make it happen? Absolutely. Will I do it again? You bet. ...

Forge a Vision, Drop Rhetoric, & Lead Foward

Forge a Vision, Drop Rhetoric, & Lead Foward

Defining the Environment So, you write a blog….do you consider yourself a leader when you do so? Maybe you should. I’ve been reading a great book, called Born Digital and a lot of it is resonating with me. For a long time (other than when I am beleaguering someone for being antiquated) I have been trying to dispel the notion ...

Semantics, Spin and Selling Real Estate

Return on Investment Recently I’ve sat with a few new Realtors who wanted feedback in what investments they should make into technology. While meeting with them, my wheels starting to turn in regards to my (and their) investment in Social Media. Part of my job is to actually get involved in new emerging technologies – and that part of my ...

Don’t Kill The Messenger

Don’t Kill The Messenger

I opened my feed reader to find a well intentioned plea from Drew Meyers on the GeekEstate blog. He is making a request to the Re.net to refrain from personal attacks on blogs. The vitriol and name calling we are seeing lately isn’t limited in its direction to individual bloggers. I read another post from a “real estate instructor & ...

Announcing RE Bar Camp 2008: An Unconference for the Real Estate Community

There’s no shortage of conferences in the real estate community. There’s NAR, the Inman Connects, the national brokerage conventions, & the upcoming BloodhoundBlog Unchained just to name a few. While these conferences are cool and all, the price starts to add up and many of us leave after hearing a lot of stuff that we already know. It’s becoming apparent ...
