In this myopic business, sometimes even the best delivery is overshadowed by the obvious. To point: why show up when you personally don’t show well. This is a stopping point in this post for those who refuse to dress for success. If you are a top producer with a bed head and chives in your teeth,

I must be getting old, well ok I am. Two pop icons passed away today that I oggled and danced to. Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson died today. Farrah's poster was on my wall as a teenager. Michael Jackson made my dance moves look silly. We age, we remember, fleeting youth. This is another day t

See, we are not desperate. We just want a reasonable offer, not a low ball of 30% off our asking price. Are we going to counter? Absolutely, full price. Yes, we had it recently appraised. We even had it pre-inspected. But you have both of those documents. So because we aren't in foreclosure, what
