What Is Reverse Royalty(TM)? - 03/07/12 07:34 AM
This blog is a notification (of trademark) as well as a definition. Last week I hosted a workshop for my commission/ incentive program at Castles Unlimited® called 100% Plus®. Invited to the meeting were many successful agents and real estate industry consultants. I made a presentation that covered the history and development of the 100% PLUS trademark including my cease and desist against a large real estate franchise, and my negotiation with another to actually own it.  After over two decades of stewardship/ ownership I am finally beginning to understand what that trademark means and it's real potential. Fast forward to last Wednesday and the … (0 comments)

This is quite an honor.  I love the attention that my radio show is getting.  I have been working on expansion of the themes and I am almost ready to go to the next step to syndicate it.  Black Strap Communication which carries my show on their Boston station WWZN owns 30 stations across the country.  I have focused on real estate and business in general.  It's been great fun and I love the challenge.  If you have any ideas for the show please write me.  Thanks for listening.
