Time sure flies, doesn’t it? The first quarter of 2023 is in the books! With 13 weeks already behind us, there are only 39 more weeks to seize the opportunities and make a difference this year! For this week’s post, I want to share with you an easy way to access the wealth of knowledge…
You know, in my 37 years in this industry, I’ve seen all kinds of real estate agents. Some folks really hit it big, mastering the ins and outs of the business like pros. But then there were others who had a tough time getting the hang of things, and eventually, they decided to try their…
Over the past few months I have been immersing myself in the world of Artificial Tools (AI) tools. The things that can be done with AI are truly astonishing! But, AI isn’t the only tech tool to be focusing on, so I wanted to share a few ideas on some of the other cool tech…

On Tuesday, January 10th, I was privileged to deliver a 15 minute talk to over 100 REALTORS®, lenders, title reps and other real estate related folks. I chose to talk about the qualities that I thought were necessary to have in order to have a successful 2023. Fortunately, someone in the audience recorded it…
I’m more than a little fascinated with AI (Artificial Intelligence) and last week’s post explored a tiny bit of the AI technology. (Read it here in case you missed it: https://realtytechbytes.com/what-is-artificial-intelligence/) One of the leaders in the race to perfect AI is an organization called OpenAI (https://beta.openai.com/). They recently released a research module called ChatGPT. …
2022 is nearly over! I think I am not alone in feeling like this year has been challenging and that I will be glad to have it behind me! However, no one knows what 2023 will bring. Will it bring more of the same or will it bring new challenges? Who knows? What I do…
