This post has nothing to do with technology or real estate. Instead it has everything to do with remembering those who paid the ultimate price so that we can enjoy our lives today. I am referring to the U.S. holiday presently known as Memorial Day. This is the day that we are asked to take…
Over the past few months I have been working one on one with real estate agents teaching them how to use Facebook to promote their businesses and themselves. I’ve also been teaching agents how to use various software products that are designed to improve their productivity. Among other things, I have found that the biggest…
You are your own worst enemy! Pretty bold statement, but I felt like I needed to get your attention quickly. I am of the opinion that the real estate industry is masterful at shooting itself in the foot. We have a number of ways that we do this, many because of national and state association…
Happy Mother’s Day! I hope that you get to spend it with your family. If your Mom is still alive, I’ll bet that she’d love to see or hear from you! Because I am spending Mother’s Day with Family, I am re-posting a January 2010 post that has information that I think you may be…

My passion these days is showing small business owners how to use the new web based tools to grow their businesses. And yes, real estate people are small business owners. I really enjoy showing people how Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Twitter have real world business applications and are not just for wasting time. Arguably, the…
Time for a little fun! You may have heard the term “infographic” being bandied about. It refers to a collection of facts on a topic that are presented in place of or in conjunction with the facts being discussed. While noodling around on the interwebs the other night, I ran across this one on the…
Recently I have been working both from my office PC and my iMac at home. (I keep a PC at the office for old times sake) and have had to move some big files back and forth between the two. I’m talking Gigabyte size files. Really big ones. Huge, in fact. I’ve been using LogMeIn…
