- 09/16/08 05:48 AM
This is a plug for the the upcoming 13th Annual Luxury Real Estate Fall Conference. I thought I'd just say that at the start. I hope to talk about some more meaty things soon, since there is so much trouble going on because of foolish greed, but today I'll focus on this positive opportunity to network with fellow luxury brokers.Rosita Sarnoff, the Executive Vice President of Stribling & Associates, Ltd., recently shared some great activities her company is planning for Luxury Real Estate members who are attending the Post-Conference Networking Trip to New York City from Oct. 14-16, 2008.

board of regents: Turning an average news release into a great one
- 07/23/08 05:13 AM
I hope this doesn't sound too prideful, but I really like what I write. And I do a lot of writing as the Public Relations & Media Specialist for LuxuryRealEstate.com.While my blogs on ActiveRain and the LuxuryRealEstate.com Blog are sometimes quickly written and they don't have the benefit of as much outside editing as I usually receive for my other work, I think they give you a taste of my writing skill and style.My mind is constantly working before, during and after the writing process.

board of regents: Charity never faileth – Florida broker gives gifts to children

board of regents: Sound advice on real-estate open houses
- 12/13/07 08:48 AM
Open houses are excellent opportunities to bring potential buyers into a home and let them gain insights that are difficult to convey through written descriptions or even virtual tours. However, there is a potential risk for luxury real estate agents and others to be aware of, according to a recent article in The Chronicle Herald - stealing.

It's been more than two years since Hurricane Katrina. The water has receded and hundreds of thousands of people have returned to their homes in New Orleans, but much more effort is needed to resurrect this city to its past greatness. Actor Brad Pitt is doing his best to lend a hand to this recovery process, according to this article on The Times-Picayune. Pitt and Angelina Jolie bought a palace in the French Quarter of New Orleans earlier this year with the help of their broker, Eleanor Farnsworth, the president of Prudential Gardner, Realtors. Farnsworth is an exclusive member of the … (1 comments)
