Most days, the work I do to earn a living doesn’t seem like work. I spend time driving, walking, writing and on social media. I meet with people; I tour houses with and without clients. I have lunch or coffee with people I enjoy spending time with and call it a meeting. Some of my […]
We’re going to start off by apologizing. We’re sorry to the real estate agents, brokers and office managers we’ve angered already with the first two parts of this series. And we’re sorry to those of you who are just plain scared out of your minds by all this. We’re sorry. Now, get over it. Why? […]
Want to win listings more often but aren’t sure how to beat the big real estate teams that dominate your local market?

Well, here’s some good news: A program that provides funding to state and local governments through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for […]
Neighborhood ratings can be tricky. Can you reduce a neighborhood to a number? To what extent is quality of life subjective?
