Ted Komenda's (dunhill) Blog

I'm beginning a new blog called the Weekly Top Ten that will be a broad stroke through society, business and sports.  It is essentially a division between serious and humor.  I hope you enjoy if not let me know.....   1.  I find it particularly stimulating to our tourist industry on Cape Cod and ...

I would like to relay a story that happened to me the other day.  I had to spend 4 of the longest hours of my life showing property to an older gentleman who no one apparently had recently reminded him of the importance of deodorant.  Now this man was very nice and had a great personality but his...

I think all of us understand that this is a buyers market except perhaps the buyers.  It is incredibly important to educate your buyers as to the ever changing aspects of the market and show them that acting now will ensure they get the "great deal" they've been looking for.  As an example the in...

I was completely shocked and disappointed that the powers that be decided to hold the Hyannis fireworks to there original scheduled time on Saturday night.  It was a complete waste of time and money.  The weather just was not going to hold off.  All day the weather stations were reporting clouds ...

I sure hope many of you out there got a chance to watch even some of the duel between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.  Talk about one for the ages!  Three rain delays, night falling, and the number one player in the world (Federer) against the number two.  It truly was a match to behold.  Everyti...

The Fourth of July can be an absolutely tremendous weekend!  Make sure you are careful with your fingers and toes if you're lighting off fireworks and remember to talk real estate.  The market needs you to educate your clients.  As you're enjoying the festivities and socializing make sure to have...

One of the most enjoyable part of our jobs is meeting new people.  Today I had the interesting chore of going to the airport to meet a new client.  Having not met him before I really enjoyed holding up one of those signs with a persons name on it like a limo driver picking up his party.  Some imp...

I am beginning to believe Bermudians have it right.  The island is 90% Motor Scooters because the price of gasoline is so high.  Of course they can get away with it because the temperature never drops below 60 degrees and it's sunny 330 days a year.  How interesting it would be to have a car sole...
