In the end, it was probably time for a change. I had a good two and a half years at my last company.  I learned tons about real estate.  I learned tons about myself.  I learned I had tons more to learn. But, it was time to change.  And I have. I joined Keller Williams this afternoon.  I have fill...

I was just relaxing on my in-laws back deck.  It is a beautiful evening in Naperville.  Perfect early summer.  Not too warm.  The sun is just starting to set.

So it looks like this is my decision. RE/MAX vs. KELLER WILLIAMS After a somewhat in debth search for my next office, these are the two the seem to match my needs the most.

Choosing a brokerage firm to hang my license has been more challenging than I thought.  You may know I parted ways with my old office, a RE/MAX office, about 3 weeks ago.  Since then, I have done a slow search for a new place to build my business.  These have been stressful times.  I don't want t...

Do you remember the huge red pitcher that used to smash through walls when the kids yelled "Hey Kool-Aid"? I do to.  Funny commercial.  Probably 70's and early 80's. Anyway, many people refer to working at RE/MAX as drinking Kool-Aid.  The thought being we must be delusional "paying" to work in r...
