In my opinion, one of the characteristics of a good real estate agent is the ability to listen to what their client/customer has to say and then to be able to translate that into action. Equally important is the ability to communicate information back to the client/customer. In the past we typically did that in…

If you’ve got a business email account then you have an asset that needs to be protected. What would happen if one day you logged on to your computer and opened up Outlook (or almost any other email client) and it did not open? Or it opened but it couldn’t find your email? If you…

Last week’s post was pretty heavy, so this week I thought I should swing in the other direction and talk about something a little lighter. This came to my attention from two sources. Lillian Ng, an agent in our Opera Plaza Office suggested it to me, and two days later I received an email from a…

The long awaited day finally arrived on Friday, July 11th. The second generation iPhone (iPhone 2.0 or iPhone 3G depending on who is talking about it) went on sale at 8 AM. I had planned to go to an Apple store instead of an AT&T store for several reasons. Not the least of which was…

Has the new Apple iPhone got you thinking that it’s time to part company with your old phone? Are you at the end of your contact with your current carrier and are thinking it’s time for a change? Or, maybe you are just fed up with phone or the carrier. If you answered yes to…
