As members of the real estate industry, most of us recognize we're in a sales-based profession.  We're all selling- whether it's the sale of a commercial building or a residential home, convincing someone to enter into a lease, convincing someone to apply for a particular loan product or, in my c...

I attended a conference this week put on by Automation Alley, a technology business association located in Oakland County, Michigan.  The conference attracted many types of businesses, including commercial lenders and brokers, and was one of the reasons I attended as a representative of Stewart T...
