Are you using Magic to build a business? - 08/28/10 07:24 AM
Are you over-relying on magical (no need for action) thinking? Systems solve and can stand-in for Magical thinking. I read an ad on "magical (no need for action)" and it got me to thinking about how we might be running our businesses today. This speaks to a written action plan and systems that support the plan. Why do I keep speaking about those systems? They make life so much easier and frankly free up time to be able to actually play or if you are consumed by the need make more money! Systems to me are like learning to ride a … (2 comments)

Have you learned to speak in 140 characters? - 08/26/10 09:03 PM
I have learned to edit down to 140 characters unless my brain takes over my hands then I blog and send the Tweet readers and Facebook friends here to get the whole story! It has really helped to edit my advertising too. Now I can write really effective real estate ads in almost no words or less! Since it is hard to stay in the 140 character mode I have started a system of creating up to 10 posts at a time. Today's was going to be simple Give to get. Sounds a lot like the golden rule. I give you … (3 comments)

Who built it??? I'm not that good of a REALTOR! - 08/21/10 01:42 AM
Who built it? This question is just like it's sister question=How much is that one???
For those of you who feel like Whaaat? when someone...like another REALTOR asks that question here is the 20/20 hindsight answer. Einstein says I shouldn't have to memorize it if I can look it up. Heh if he doesn't have to remember all of those details...I can look it up too: Voila the builder list and how they RANK in Texas.
It would set you apart if you knew. I wonder if it is like my blood test though? My Texas doctor was "concerned" about the … (1 comments)

Why buy now? Affordable homes, Bonds, Grants, VA programs - 08/18/10 04:32 PM
I took an affordable housing class in Dallas this morning towards the designation and "Holy cow" my head is overloaded with all of the ways to do this. There are so many ways out there that we could be helping folks buy a home! Need to get the word to the masses. Bond programs, Grants, low low interest loans. There will never, not in my lifetime, anyway be a better time to buy a home.
If you are a Veteran do you know that there are programs for you not only at a Federal level but at a State of Texas and sometimes … (2 comments)

In the same breath: "Help me sell - the rug is blue!" - 08/09/10 07:27 AM
I love referrals as much as the next REALTOR. An old (as in long time friend) friend of the family called to say his sister needed some help. We met at the friend's house and had some B-B-Q (a Texas thing-you know!) and talked about her home. Minutes into what seemed like a great idea came the news-wallpaper and blue carpet-"you get to like it". I am sure that is true or it wouldn't be there.
Then the weekend came that my newest IKEA magazine showed up-silly me-There is the blue! The newest hottest color of the season in furniture and … (3 comments)
