A week or so ago there was an article on MSN about someone who was offered a job at Cisco and came home and tweeted about loving the money, but not really wanting the job. He was subsequently contacted by a Cisco Social Media contact who informed him that Cisco monitors social channels.
I never knew how enjoyable photography could be until I started my home staging company. Admittedly I am not the best photographer but I do have an eye for detail, and "shooting" interiors for the last 3 years has helped me learn some camera skills. During a recent business trip to Toronto I became enamored with the abundance of historical buildings juxtaposed against the soaring, modern skyline. Talk about curb appeal! I didn't have much time away from work however I did manage to take more than 300 architectural photos (mostly drive by). These are some of my favorites. I hope … (16 comments)

Have you ever gone to an event or party, expecting one thing, only to be completely surprised and changed by the unexpected? Well, that is what happended to me last week, and I thought it would make a good blog post.
In December of 2007, I brought Attic Fire to your attention. I now see Attic Fire Architecture Photography is a member of Activerain. What I want you to do is take a look at their website again. Things have been changed up and it's worth the time to view current before after shots. All I can say is WOW. Now that's some good real estate photography.
Your target audience and your target market can be two very different things, but if they are, then you, my friend, are doing a very big disservice to your marketing time and budget. You see, if you come talk to me I will tell you my target market is first time home buying families in the Beaverton, Oregon, area. Then if you ask me what my target audience is when it comes to my blogs, well guess what, it is the same audience.
Sometimes, you just never know how a showing is going to go. Showing houses on Sunday, my clients and I came to the last one of six.
OK my dear readers, every now and then something profound happens in our lives that changes everything we've ever come to know and love.
Is last months news on today's headlines really the way to go? I don't think so. I would want to know the most recent news in this current real estate market...wouldn't you? The press is celebrating the decline in Atlanta's home price today as not being bad as some other areas in the country where the national average home price decline was 19%. The Case Schiller index has the price of the average Atlanta home price in January as falling only 14.3% as opposed to January a year earlier. The fact of the matter is don't start celebrating a bottom yet. That was … (12 comments)
After a Maine winter, part of the renewal process of spring is planning to be in your local canoe race. Some trips down the local waterway are done by black belt kayakers pushing to beat their time of last season. Others a leisurely drift following the current with boatful of family glad to celebrate the annual tradition. In Houlton Maine, the Meduxnekeag River Canoe Race was started by Ricker College, taken over and guided for many years by the Houlton Rotary Club and in more recent years, the tradition kept alive by Peter Blood and Clint Cushman, two local high … (0 comments)
So much for spring! Well the calendar says it's spring but today in the Live Free or Die State of NH it was anything but spring. The car was crusted with ice and the temperature was 30 degrees when I looked out the window this morning at 6:30. And so it was in seacoast NH most of the day cloudy and dreary with wind. Now you've heard the adage, "if you don't like the weather in NH just wait an hour or so....it'll change." So true...I just heard the forcast for tomorrow and they are expecting nice weather with some un … (2 comments)
After spending parts of two days on the Extreme Makeover Home Edition site in Indianapolis, it is time to share some impressions. And no, I am not talking about what the house is like. There are regular photos and news reports. There have been spectators ranging from a few dozen to a few hundred. (Yes, it does seem different seeing spectators standing across the street watching a construction site. But maybe not so strange since a few days earlier it was the site of a small home in need of repairs.)
