French Quarter roof top views! The old world feel! - 04:13 PM
French Quarter Roof Top Views, Where are the skycrapers?
Views from a French Quarter condo that I had listed a couple of years ago. No tall buildings allowed in this historic district so you can get great views form this fourth floor unit. The only down fall was the stairs to get up to the penthouse unit. Great 1880 views once you opened the windows.

Anyone - Help - 02:22 PM
I will admit I am not the most tech savvy guy on the planet. I just learned a few months ago that if I hit alt and enter the pages open in a new tab. My nephew who is 8 said "Duh, where have you been" when I told him that.
So here is the Problem. I emailed active rain about it too. I have changed all the fields in my profile but I am still Showing as a Loan Officer. NOT GOOD. I Look like a LO for Keller Williams. Even Worse!

Get Organized - 08:06 PM
I was updating and working on my data base today and I needed to run over to the Office Supply Store to get some refill paper for my agenda. I wanted to share my tip for making your contact section of your agenda a little more roomy.
Here is A Tip: when You are organizing and updating your contacts the Pre-Printed pages of The Phone Book Refill Pages can be small, cramped, and generally unacceptable. Here is how I handle this situation. I buy more Note Paper Refills. They are a lot cheaper and you have a blank canvas for organizing your … (4 comments)

Is it time for more stringent regulation in the real estate industry? - 05:27 AM
THE REGULATOR COMING OVER THE HILL.
C Lloyd McKenzie writes: "Considering the fact that we are intricately related to the financial industry, why would they not look at us?"
Why wouldn't they indeed??
C. Lloyd provides a timely warning about things that could happen if the government, in it's zeal to take over an ever larger segment of private enterprise in this country, sets it's sights on the real estate industry.
I find this post utterly fascinating.
Are we going to see a "Real Estate Czar"? If so, will they have any knowledge of the real etate industry?

Stay Safe On Social Media Sites - 03:02 PM
This morning there were two messages in my Facebook inbox about a "video that wouldn't load properly." Knowing the senders only through online networking, I simply deleted the messages and moved on.
This brings up the first rule of social media safety: If you feel at all suspicious or unsure, delete the message. It's far better to err on the side of caution rather than put your PC, your data, and your online network at risk. And if you're still curious, contact the sender directly and ask them if they indeed sent it. A good friend or legitimate business contact will … (4 comments)

Tips For Better Blog Writing - 05:38 PM
English was never one of my favorite subjects in school. I've always felt that being gramatically correct was nice, but not absolutely necessary. People communicate just fine in informal, conversational ways -- so why can't we write like that?
Blogging is often referred to as an online conversation. Bloggers are told to find their voice, to speak (write) naturally. So don't worry about whether or not your high school English teacher approves of your latest post; they're probably not your target audience anyway!

Google and Bing To Index Social Media Content - 07:42 PM
Detractors of Twitter frequently ask "who cares what I'm doing right now?" Apparently Google and Bing care, as both major search engines are moving forward with plans to index tweets.
Bing is also going to index Facebook status updates, while Google recently launched Social Search, a Google Labs experiment "that helps you find more relevant public content from your broader social circle."
Will this change how you use Facebook and Twitter? Will you optimize your status updates and tweets with keywords, or keep them more spontaneous?

Jim Craig's Allstate Office
I met Jim Craig a few years ago at a Live Baltimore event in Baltimore City. We talked shop and he asked if he could compete for my business.

He asked me a few questions and was able to save me over $100 on my car insurance. I had gotten a quote online on the companies website but that quote was much higher than … (0 comments)
