connor with honor: Thought provoking - But not new under the sun... - 09/03/09 07:36 AM
Real Estate Agents make too much money.
Real Estate Agents are an unnecessary "middle-man".
Real Estate Agents and Boards hold sellers and buyers captive.
Thoughts taken from a post from Jeff Jarvis at Buzz Boost.
It was written a long time ago, as far as the Internet is concerned, February 8th, 2006 … (2 comments)

connor with honor: Technology in RE/MAX and Santa Clarita Real Estate - Paris911 Operational Guide - 01/02/09 11:25 AM
When it comes to prospecting you cannot beat that personal contact.  You can have all of the bells and whistles turned on all over the WWW, but unless you have the capacity to speak with those folks and have them trust you by your actions and track record - you cannot … (0 comments)

connor with honor: Wordpress plug in for iPhone - Awesome if you are pimping Wordpress blogs. - 01/02/09 11:10 AM
So the police vernacular comes out from time to time - I am still a Reserve officer after doing 17 years of fill time in Los Angeles.  But I still think parts of Law Enforcement should be honored within Real Estate Circles - but as far as changing the World View … (0 comments)

connor with honor: Gas Prices and misguided anger... - 06/14/08 05:05 PM
It was about 0555hrs this AM, the day before fathers day.  I stopped for gas at one of the local gas stations, this appears to be cheaper than most - I live near this particular intersection in Valencia CA, so I see the sign at least 6 days a week as … (0 comments)

connor with honor: It is amazing how far we come and how fast we have gotten... Where? - 06/06/08 08:49 AM
Technology - Remember when gas was around a dollar a gallon?  When they had "regular" gas.  Pennies could buy you candy, even at a convienence store.
I am not sure if we will ever see those days again.  I am also not sure that my kids will be able to afford … (1 comments)

There is nothing that can compete with Personal communication.  One on one.  When out shopping or at the Mall all you need to do is wear a sign that makes you identifiable as the Subject Matter Expert in Real Estate.
You could go the cap with a propeller on top approach, maybe … (2 comments)

Good Question, I joined active rain, probably going on a year now.  I have written in excess of 150 posts and have had my share of comments.  I have given comments, feedback and have also established one heck of a referral network … (4 comments)

Daddy used to say if you cannot learn something new each and every day, than that day was not worth living.  I have not had any days like that.  It seems to be a continual lesson each day I walk this Earth.  I learn a lot now via the Living Blogs … (7 comments)

connor with honor: A Relational Approach to Real Estate in Santa Clarita Valley - 02/16/08 10:44 PM
No matter where you hang your hat and no matter where you take off your shoes.  You still have to meander into the bathroom at some point and have a good look at yourself in the mirror.  That person staring back at you is your reflection.  How do you look these days.  … (0 comments)

You can see from any national average from National Association of Realtors or even our more local California Association of Realtors that Open houses do not sell homes very often.  In fact you could even say it is rare.
I can compare this with citation issuance when I was that hated motor cop.  If we … (3 comments)

I have heard it again, you can't do that.  I was in the mall and was standing in line at a local coffee house, you may have heard of it, Starbucks?  Anyway, there was a Woman with her Son standing behind me, he asked his mom, if he could be president … (7 comments)
