FaceBook... I just had to get that out of the way quickly...  We all knew it had to be on the list.  There are 300,000,000 people there, and some of them might actually be looking for a real estate agent.  But PLEASE, don't just wade in and start telling everyone that you are a real estate agent....

I'd watch this on TV several times in a row. (and this is NOT real estate related...) Up until a few years ago, the American Rally Series (Rally America) had regular television coverage.  But that has dried up.  Too many college football games I guess.  But auto racing needs sponsors.  And sponso...

Analysis Paralysis... If you haven't heard the statement, it is summing up the "Ready, Aim Fire, Aim Fire, Aim" menality.  Basically, spending forever making the plan, and then never following through and actually "doing" the plan.  And then...

The listing said to call before visiting the home.  The listing sheet said that the alarm code was in the lockbox.  I called... the agent reiterated that the alarm code was in the lockbox.  The house had a keypad deadbolt.  The lockbox contained a code that accessed the deadbolt.  It was NOT the ...

RSS...  Really Simple Syndication.  Rich Site Summary.  Most of us know what it is... but few are really leveraging it to help create business or simplify our lives...  For those that don't know, RSS is a news feed.  Basically, by subscribing to a website's RSS feed, each time the site is updated...
