active rain: Tuesday Truths......Why the #1 can be the Loneliest Number in Real Estate - 07/08/08 01:02 PM

active rain: My 200th Post........Trials of Changing Internet Browsers to Firefox - 07/04/08 02:08 PM

active rain: Blogging Buddy kills 125........What!!! Turn it up Joe - 06/05/08 06:12 AM
Killing 125, why is it that we turn up the TV to hear this type of news or click on the links to read about it online? Why is it that we want to know about this awful occurence, even though it's not necessarily relatable. What happened? Who did it, and where was it? Our emotions … (43 comments)

active rain: Does anyone have a one legged REALTOR® - 02/05/08 09:32 AM
I was sitting here thinking. We're not allowed to discriminate when we hire someone because it's the law, but what about REALTOR's®? A lot of people have never personally met their Agent. All business was transacted over the phone, electronically, or through the mail. They wouldn't know if you were a green-eyed two … (35 comments)
