On November 6, 2008 a few snide comments inspired me to write "A Perception Of Value." Now I find that I am inspired to revisit the concept once again. This time it is not in defense of myself but in defense of this Network. No one is perfect, but as far (35 comments)
rant: Permission To Talk Does Not Equal Short Sale Authorization - 02/01/09 06:26 PM
Ever have a listing agent place a property in the MLS as a short sale without speaking with the bank first?

My e-mail is out of control and I had to turn my cell phone off today. Seems when you write an open letter to the President people think you are a repository for their complaints, suggestions and inquiries.

"Industry’s Dirty Little Secret: Altered Reports" By David Brauner, WRE Editor is a must read.

rant: Hack Attack Social Networking? - 11/16/08 04:22 PM

They help track flu trends, provide spanking analytics (like YouTube Insights), and you can even see Ancient Rome reborn there as an animated YouTube video.
