The Value of "FREE" -vs- The Perception of "Price"
They say that there are no "Free" lunches, and that nothing in this world is FREE.  We once had a neighbor who put his couch out on the sidewalk in front of his house, then placed a sign on it that read "FREE!"  It was a really nice couch with great upholstery and no stains or damage.  The neighbor simply purchased some newer furniture and didn't have room for that particular piece.
Well that couch sat there for three days, and no one took it.   IT WAS FREE!   After 3 … (40 comments)

A Great Celebration in a Spectacular Location - What a Fantastic Vacation! - 06/25/09 12:14 PM
Having been away for the past week or so, I have to admit that this was one of the best disconnects ever!  My son and I just spent a wonderful time in Hawaii celebrating his accomplishments and graduation from Cal Poly, while also making sure our time away served as an awesome vacation.  We had the best time ever.  From the moment we landed in Honolulu, till we returned, it was go, go, go!  Together we took over 2000 photos, and shared some of the best memories that will last us both a lifetime.

The Time Has Come - I Hope You'll Forgive Me for Leaving?! - 06/11/09 08:47 PM
I never thought I'd be saying this, but it's true...I'm leaving.  I knew that this time was coming, but now it's actually here.  I know that sounds bad, but it's really not.  Some of you might remember the post I did back in 2007, the one about taking my son down south, and dropping him off at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo.  This was one the proudest yet most tear jerking moments in my life.  Reading that post again took me right back to that moment, and nearly soaked and ruined my laptop. 
Guess I'm just an ol' softy.
Well, … (165 comments)

How To Maximize Indexing (RAINdexing) on your Outside Blogs - 06/03/09 02:56 PM
There is a need for some clarification as to how RAINdexing or Indexing your Outside Blogs works on ActiveRain.  With all the options available and the inter-connections between AR Blogs, Localism and Outside Blogs etc.,  I am going to try and simplify how it all works and what it all means.  Since my recent post "poll survey results" concluded that reading was the #1 best way for the majority to learn, I'm opting to do a Blog post on this topic.
Here's the 5 areas we'll cover in order to help you grasp and get your arms around how this all … (75 comments)

CRB Real Estate Brokers - Building and Supporting Hyper-Local Blogs - 06/01/09 04:20 PM


Are you a Real Estate Broker or Manager?  Do you support your Agents Blogging?  Should a Real Estate Brokerage have a company Blog in addition to their own personal Blogs?  What is the value of having a Brokerage or TEAM Blog with multiple contributors?  Who are the "key" people that should contribute to a group Blog?  What should be the focus of a "Brokerage Blog" vs "Personal" and what kind of time commitment is involved?  What tools can be incorporated to bring more value to your Blogs and to the consumer, and why the Heck should you care?
