Ever wish you could post to your blog without having to use your computer? The thought has occurred to me that such a capability would allow me to post more frequently. Ideas come to me frequently, but are often lost by the time I get around to actually writing. Then I discovered a nifty little…

While noodling around on Google the other day, I decided to see what tools Google has for real estate agents and ran across a page set up just to showcase the tools that Google offers us.

“My client would never do that…” “That Web 2.0 stuff is just for kids.” “My clients don’t ________ (fill in the blank)” Have you ever said that? I hear it all the time as I travel about doing training classes. Every time I hear it, I wonder if I am hearing fear or…
