Transparent Real Estate Information!
Consumers need it!
Consumers should NOT be misled, they should have the confidence the Real Estate information is TRANSPARENT, consumers should know if a National Real Estate Website is sharing the information they buy from 3rd party provides. National Real Estate Website should NOT be duping consumers; consumers need to know the truth, they need to know if the Real Estate information is not consumer friendly when it comes to accuracy. They need to be aware of the many games being played by these National Real Estate (purported) Website.

A Real Estate Mind-Set. - 04/25/12 06:29 PM
A Real Estate Mind-Set
Chose A REALTOR®
When you choose a Local REALTOR®, their method of pricing a home will NOT be "Come-on tell me what you see your home selling for” Bank on hard facts, using a REALTOR® saves you money, “your local Real is a true professional that will have your best interest satisfying your Real Estate transaction”
When you choose a local REALTOR®, they WILL use the best negotiating modus operandi, "you won’t have to worry any problems arising” When you choose a Local REALTOR®, transparency is exercised every step of the way, “they … (0 comments)

I think the Real Estate Industry has changed quite a bit over the past years, and not in a positive way. Sure there are many good things happening in Real Estate. I think that’s great our Industry works hard to ensure the public benefits from the Real Estate Industry, there’s no question consumers must receive and perceive we put out reliable information to the public, we need consumers trust.

It’s disgusting when I read a hateful propagandist view, and more disturbing is the Real Estate Website that allows consistent Realtor bashing on their Website by their special interest group.

I know my mom always has my best interest and I understand my mom’s message was a good message, but sometimes that message, (be careful) is not always the best. There’s no value if we’re so careful our aim is to low. Without individuals having high aim, the things reached aren’t worth reaching for.

Repeated bad behavior. - 04/10/12 10:10 AM
Are you a target of repeated bad behavior?
Don’t think this problem is just for kids to deal with; adults are targets of successive bad behavior as well! Adults mostly experience bullies in the workplace; however bullies turn up in life, over the internet, and without prejudice or warning.
You’re not alone if you encounter bad behavior. Independent study’s suggests that bullying is widespread, staggering, vast, “1 in 8 of us supposedly has experienced a bully.
Don’t be fooled by appearance, a bully isn’t just an oversized mean person, the bully has no gender preference, it can … (2 comments)

There are limits? - 04/09/12 11:34 PM
Knowledge, To What Extent Are There Limits?
It is often said that the longing for understanding is one of the most important forces that drive an individual straight on; at least, one that’s grasped a dependable level of development. It’s often an individual, if given ample time and power doesn’t like to stop until one knows every bit that’s there to be known. The only knowledge that separates one from absolute is the necessity of death.
On the one hand, an individual cannot attain far-reaching knowledge for the fundamental purpose of one’s life being limited – (the information that extends … (0 comments)

Before listening to your buddy - 04/09/12 10:21 PM
“Can you tell me about these items please?”
My buddy says; “the house looks great”, he thinks it’s a waste of money to pay for a home inspection?
You want to forgo an inspection on the home you’re buying?
FYI, “At a dreadful level, a house is a structure that sets in motion to fail the moment it's built”.
“Maintenance", is the best action for slowing down the process of your home deteriorating. Think of it like your car, with every oil change there are maintenance items that need to be addressed, but it doesn’t mean with every oil … (5 comments)

BRAVEHART - 04/08/12 07:27 PM
My first introduction to (William Wallace) and his remarkable life, through the movie BRAVEHART; the movie was unforgettable.

Even though 1995 was a long time ago; I remember every emotion provoked by the movie, I still carry very strong memories from the movie.

Don't be apprehensive! - 04/08/12 05:52 PM
Kock on the door; "it's ok to introduce yourself"
You will have a successful real estate practice if you consistently put yourself in the public’s eye enough for them to consistently see you. The truth of the matter is that knocking on doors is hard work, and the rejections are countless and not always well-mannered with you.
Don't let the sad, condescending individual waiting for the second you knock on their door discourage you. Conventional, healthy individuals can respectfully ask you what the aim of your official visit is, and tell you they’re not interested without making you be apprehensive … (4 comments)

Be a successful REALTOR®; NOT a critical one!
Think about what “you” do; your success centers on it.
Being critical of other REALTOR’S® isn’t positive for you to be doing and won’t advance you to success in Real Estate. What is critical for you success as a REALTOR®, reaching-out to your vast core audience, providing accurate information so they call on you for their business.

“You’re welcome” Thank You! Through-out the day I have this conversation a lot. I’ve noticed there are a few different ways a “thank you” or “you’re welcome” You just sold a home for a client; your client will say thank you in a business-tone; “sort of an expected or perceived thank you. You help-out an unexpected individual needing help; the thank you has a much different-tone to it. Both are great and always the best remedy to personal happiness, and to provoke 12 muscles to move!

Become a better Realtor! - 04/04/12 11:22 AM
Open communication is learning! A one-side opinion isn’t learning or real.
Lost opportunity, lost communication by deceit; tainted process!
Those who disconnect themselves away from others with whom they disagree do themselves and the rest of society a disfavor. They lose the possibility to learn from revealing who they are because of their unbending opinions. They lose the chance to be diverse with their own “opinions/set values” for the common sense under pressure from outside judgment with stronger views. This causes the practical and higher learning system to be tainted and the process that lets you collaborate with … (2 comments)

Immediate results stem from long-term goals. Leaders also stem from the result of long-term goals. A long–term goal isn’t necessary for the job, but usually makes for better leadership! Define leadership; “the process by which a person influences individuals to bring about an objective”.
Are leaders born or taught; most will say leadership skills are not inborn but can be learned gradually through education, dedication and self-study. The existing belief is that leadership can be taught. On the center of my life encounters and as I classify leadership; “it’s my vocation … (8 comments)
