In the area where I live, kids went back to school this past week! Even if I didn’t have school age grandkids, I would know that this is true just based on how awful traffic around here has become almost overnight! If it hasn’t happened in your area yet, it’s on its way! On the…
I spent much of last week at Inman Connect in San Francisco. I am generally NOT a fan of these conferences because too often they are slanted towards industry outsiders who come and speak and try to tell us how to do our business. They all seemed to have the idea that they could re-invent…
Recently I was having a “bull session” with a handful of agents in my office. We had just returned from lunch and we were sitting around the conference room table. The conversation turned to an experience that one of the agents had with a seller that was proving to be difficult and unreasonable in their…
I want to recommend a book this week. In the past I have recommended books, but they have all been real estate specific books. This one is not. The author of the book is Admiral William H. McRaven (U.S. Navy Retired) and is titled “Make Your Bed – Little Things That Can Change Your Life…

The more you post, and the more relevant the content, the faster you will build a following. The bigger your following, the better your chances are of getting new business from your efforts. In…
As I cruised around the Inter-Webs this week I ran across some really good content that I want to share with you. Take some time to look carefully at each of them. Any one of them can help you make more money if you implement what you learn. Imagine what could happen if you implemented…
Are you getting enough time to read these days? Are you even getting to read one book a year? How about one a month, or even one a week? If you are like most of us, leading busy lives balancing family, friends and work, the answer is probably not. And that’s a shame. Because reading…
Today I want to revisit a post I wrote in November of 2014 because it is still relevant today. Maybe more so. I like to read.
