Inspiration, Real Estate Teams, Specialist & Designations - 10/31/09 05:28 PM

I was inspired by Lenn Harley's post on team's and team specialists, who was inspired by Mirian Bernstein, who was inspired by a NYTimes article. Lenn's post touch on so many great topics I wanted to discuss each one separately. (Besides their is no Alabama football today, so I don't know what else to do!)
Real Estate Teams: I have a great team! I started it in 2001. It's called Port City Realty. My company is small enough for me to really consider it a team. I came from the largest company in town so I have been exposed to both … (2 comments)

How to tell "real" buyers from tire-kickers (one question) - 10/05/09 03:03 PM
I wanted to share this at sales meeting.
Via Dean Jackson helps Realtors make more money! (MarketingMonday.com - Weekly Real Estate Marketing Podast ):
