As I write this, it’s been just about one week since I attended my first REBarCamp in San Francisco. It’s taken about a week for me to fully internalize all that occurred in about 8 hours on a sunny August day in the City. You may be asking yourself “what is a REBarCamp?” For questions…
I wanted to buy my first house in 1984. I had absolutely no clue about how to go about the process, so I started by going to open houses. I met lots of real estate agents, but sadly, none that I trusted enough to want to “hire”. So, I started taking real estate courses at…
As real estate agents we have learned how to work away from our offices and to provide our services wherever the customer happens to be, at their home, their office or even at a local coffee shop.

Many of you know that I am an ePro Certified Trainer, and as such I have been able to offer you a $25.00 discount when you sign up for the National Association of Realtors® ePro course. I have always felt that having an ePro was a very smart move for all Realtors® for a variety…

Last week I gave you Part One which contained what I believe to be 5 of the must have tech tools for real estate agents. This week I will continue with 5 more must have tech tools. Truth be told, there are more than 10 tools that I think you should have (and have mastered)…
Real estate agents are called upon to provide many services to their buyers and sellers. The services can range from finding that perfect property for their buyers to marketing a home for their sellers. At the end of both processes there is an escrow to manage (Hopefully!) with all of the attendant inspections, reports, issues…
For the last several months I have been engaged in researching a 5 part training course to teach real estate agents how to use Social Media and Social Networking to enhance their business.
