Chase Norton of imedia is a great author - I read his articles often. He recently talked about todays technology. He spoke about how to use it, not reinvent it. It makes perfect sense. The days of sending a lone engineer into a garage to build the next Google are over. This is contrary to the inherent beliefs and ethos of Silicon Valley. Why do investors continue to bet on disruptive technologies? It's not necessarily because they believe the company can become the next Google; it's because they believe the company can get acquired by Google, Yahoo! or eBay for billions … (0 comments)
I have delt with agents who were not licensed in the past, they claim to be licensed, they set the appointment, they show the house, they have a super key in their hands. Am I suppose to police them? Do I have the power or authority to ask for their license number and/or ID before I let them in my clients house? Nobody is taking care of this problem. Any suggestions?

Are you getting Internet leads that only give you an email address and want you to send them information about a listing and others in your market? Here's an approach that I have used with one of my agents that seems to work pretty well.
This article, from KTVZ.com in Bend, OR, now cites Wenatchee as the hottest market in the nation:
OK - The reason I am posting this is because I am tired of hearing Todd you need to lose some weight. Yes I have gained a few pounds in the last couple of years and YES, I do really enjoy a really good meal at a very nice restaurant with my wife.
Back in the fifties, there was a comedian named Sam Levinson. He went to an "old folks home" (not p.c. but what we called them in the fifties). One of the attendants suggested he go ask Mr. Smith what he was doing. Mr. Smith was a wrinkled old man sitting in a chair in the corner with a large black Bible in his lap. Mr. Levinson approached Mr. Smith and asked him what he was doing. Mr. Smith replied, "I'm cramming for my finals".

There is a beautiful new marina on Lake Worth Intracoastal Waterway in the Town of Lake Park, just south of The Village of North Palm Beach. 
Have read some really great software technical blogs and thought what about the practical simple side of what to remember to round it out...so...if you have a music bed...if it is elevator music like everyone elses, it will sound like everyone elses. If you use a familiar song with words...the viewer is listening to the words and singing along to Sweet Home Alabama...so it can't be recognizable. It could be a musical bed that is timed for 30 or 60 seconds if your intent is to make a vignette that wraps it up quickly. Good idea if you want to email … (0 comments)

Not everyone is familiar with 'closing costs', the bunch of fees associated with the buying and the selling of a home. Some fees are assigned automatically to either buyer or the seller; and other costs are negotiable or dictated by local custom.
Spring and summer bring out the best in community events.This is a great time to let former clients know about local festivals, famers markets and concerts. This is especially valuable information for clients who are new to an area. Looking a little way down the road, why not research where some of the local fireworks diplays are and send them that information? Email is the simplest way, but it might be a good time to pick up the phone and make a personal call with the information. You can also break your mailing list in to specific communities and provide a … (2 comments)
