knowledge: THE PUBLIC AT LARGE DOES NOT KNOW - 02/09/19 08:05 AM
Agents, family, friends and people at large are all aware in general about various subjects but does that mean they know what they are talking about? This question applies to all careers, practices and endeavors one can pursue. I know a little bit about everything as my seeking and wanting to know ability runs at optimum however does that make me a master of the subjects or the products for that matter?

knowledge: WHEN YOU DONT KNOW - 06/13/16 02:48 AM
There are certain subjects that escape me entirely. Some of them are things I don't know about because I had little or no exposure to it and other subjects I could care less about knowing. Both come under being ignorant to the first timer and I am at peace with it. What I don't know, I don't know and that in itself is a type of knowing if you choose to believe it
YOUTH IGNORANCE
In my younger years, when I was eager to please for a various amount of reasons, I was not eager to admit ignorance or not knowing. That didn't get you ahead or make your personal … (8 comments)

knowledge: DATA AND PROCESSING IT - 12/08/15 02:21 AM
Anyone can gather information to no end now a days. Google it and there you go tons of it non-stop presented in so many different ways by differing people. Why study anything when instead you can just pluck it out of mid-air so to speak and then apply it? Wait a minute! Is that all there is to it?
NOW WHAT?
What to do with the data is another matter which can be fraught with doubt, confusion, hesitation and trial & error dynamics before it can gel or makes sense. That is the start-up price to pay for data. Having it and then applying … (20 comments)

knowledge: IF KNOWLEDGE IS POWER WHAT IS EXPERIENCE? - 06/14/15 11:22 PM
Theory versus application. Two worlds that are worlds apart but appear linked in some way. I would agree that having the thought or vision is a good start. However, putting legs on it is the real work. Then, to have it do great, productive things remains to be seen. Yes to learning, then onward to the curve part. This is the natural order of progression
HOW TO PROCEED
I meet many a smart, well-meaning persons wherever I go in various fields and practices. Bright, intelligent and eager to assist with products and services. Many principals and clients all start out with enough information to say...I … (6 comments)

knowledge: WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY SHOULD COME CHANGE - 01/06/15 06:22 AM
Why are they still teaching certain courses in school that are outdated or don't apply in today's technological world? Help me understand this. We now have spell check and grammar check capability so shouldn't we shift the courses to reflect that? Wait there is more.........
ANSWERS ARE EVERYWHERE
What about mathematics? Doesn't calculators and applications solve our everyday computations effectively and efficiently? You can even ask Google to solve a formula and it will. Why then are we not tweaking this in our curriculum's? Algebra? Who the heck uses this daily? For those that do, go at it
MANY SUBJECTS AVAILABLE ONLINE

knowledge: IF YOU HAD TO START ALL OVER - 08/27/14 08:03 AM
Would you be better for it or bitter for it? You see experience and knowledge that comes with learning as you go it is undervalued at times. WHY? Fear followed closely by doubt does it. It tries to "take away" from what you know. Something goes wrong and your world goes to pieces. More accurately, it is your comfort zone that crashed not the world.
A MATURE MAN SHARES
I worked with a extremely wealthy man who went through the depression and two world wars for over a decade. One day, he made a statement to me, a young naive married man who could not appreciate the … (11 comments)

RELAX AND ENJOY THE TRANSACTION
I am here to assist and to serve. Real Estate is already a serious subject so making it more serious doesn't make sense. Instead, there is a way to go about the process of renting, buying, selling or investing that involves less effort and even includes fun too

knowledge: WHAT AM I SIGNING AND WHY? - 04/24/14 01:26 AM
If it is to move a deal forward, I am in. Just tell me the downside, then the upside and exactly what it is I am committing to ahead of time. If not, then a couple of things will happen. One, I may have to stop and then study what I am signing and then go into Q & A or....
IGNORANCE BREEDS FEAR
I will need to consult with an attorney. I find that if people are comfortable with dialogue before signing that the core confidence of the deal is sound. Why wait until the last minute to review important documents? … (3 comments)

knowledge: THAT FIRST TIME USED UP ALL MY DEODORANT AND COLOGNE (contest) - 04/08/14 07:24 AM
I received my Real Estate license in 1978 and it gave me a sense of additional professionalism. I was already in Real Estate managing property for a multi-millionaire. However, I saw where I could make loans, handle residential transactions, income property and more being licensed
LATE 1970'S
The rules were different back then and less complicated in many ways. That world was no where close to the world of Real Estate today but that is to be expected. Anything of value evolves and becomes better, faster and even cheaper and so it should...Real Estate excels at this

knowledge: DIFFERENT SAVVY TALK AMONG THE VARIOUS TRADES - 12/26/13 04:00 AM
I speak Real Estate fluently. I also speak love and life lingo as well. I have read posts where inspectors speak inspection talk, Title reps title talk and escrows speak escrow effectively. When visiting with the different aspects and careers, you are exposed to their trade language
SAVVY SPEAK
I am not talking their slang or vernacular terms. NO. I am referring to their SAVVY and when they speak about their subject matter, they are talking their profession. They are making professional points and statements. It is their world that we navigate through when we visit with them
RESTAURANT LINGO
If you go to restaurant convention, they talk the language … (46 comments)

knowledge: REAL ESTATE AGENTS SHOULD KNOW THINGS - 12/25/13 01:03 AM
Any Real Estate agent worth their salt should know what is going on in their neck of the woods, their neighborhoods to some degree. Interests rates, new construction, foreclosure activity, recent sales and future events should always be on an agents radar screen
AWARENESS WILL DO
We don't need to know everything. That is impossible to do on this subject matter as it never sits still. However, having a handle on what is going on and why that leads to intelligent conversation and smart buying or selling tactics is expected to be known.
SHAME OR BOAST?
I would on occasion run into principals and clients who have agents and when … (12 comments)

knowledge: IS YOUR OPINION PROFESSIONAL OR PERSONAL - 10/29/13 01:35 AM
If there ever was a subject were people have opinions Real Estate certainly qualifies. Heck, with the Internet giving so much data, everyone can be ignorant until they excuse themselves for a few moments and then come back with something to say after looking something up. The online medical field is a good example of this. If your sick, look it up and save on time, money and unnecessary suffering...really?
 EXPERIENCE COUNTS TOO
With all the new and different Real Estate sites that are offering up information about any property out there, one is led to believe that they know REAL ESTATE after reading up on … (11 comments)

knowledge: A WELL DRESSED PYTHON IS STILL A SNAKE - 08/22/13 05:50 AM
There are people in every business who do not know what they are talking about yet continue to try to influence one party or another. In Real Estate, fair & honest dealing and fiduciary helps to check mate this but not stop it completely. So what happens is occasionally there will be someone somewhere who talks gibberish fluently and that just isn't going to cut it...ever
BEING INFORMED
Lets take local Real Estate agents. As a general rule, they know their own markets. They can talk shop about the neighborhood, events, past present and future and if they don't know something, … (15 comments)

knowledge: WHY ACTIVERAIN IS NO GOOD FOR REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS - 05/19/13 03:26 AM
The results are in and bares repeating. They are conclusive and have stood up to rigorous testing by tens of thousands of people over a period of extended time and double checked by hundreds of thousands randomly across the United States and Canada. This tests are self-evident and speak for themselves. No further testing is required and this matter is closed

 There are many paths that you can take to get somewhere. Hikers, rock climbers, swimmers, joggers anyone that has traveled will share that there is no one way...but many ways to proceed with. That being said, how can anyone claim that their religion is the only way.....? Explore this subject that has caused more loss of life throughout history than anything else

knowledge: THE ONE THING CONTEST CHAPTER ON WILLPOWER I RESPOND MYSTICALLY TO IT - 04/18/13 07:23 AM
Now here is an interesting subject (willpower) that has much history to consult with. We have centuries of data that clearly show mankind and its desires at work and also not at work. In all cases , we were found wanting. You see there is a little known dynamic that people have heard about but often do not stop to ponder because the thing being pondered would be in jeopardy if you did...I am speaking of the EGO and its pal...PRIDE

knowledge: GRANDMA and GRANDPA THEY KNOW THINGS - 04/14/13 12:53 AM
When I used to work at Disneyland years ago, I noticed that they had ticket takers that ranged in age from 25-80 years old. Everyone is kind, courteous, and helpful when admitting you into the Park...I couldn't help seeing the the elderly got more of a joy out of it especially with the young kids coming in...What did they know about this?
THE AWE OF IT ALL
They knew how special it would be for a young kid to come into Disneyland and they lend support to that knowledge to make it extra special. It is a deep and genuine greeting … (8 comments)

knowledge: SAY MY MOM SAID AND YOU GET THINGS - 04/08/13 05:25 AM
When I was young, innocent and growing up in New York, you go anywhere in your neighborhood and everyone knows everybody. If you go to the local candy store, you get to order cigarettes, ice cream or medicines by saying my mom told me to come here and  then you ask for whatever and.... you would get it. A mothers word in Brooklyn, New York is the supreme court. The system worked and could not be abused because the communication between everyone was superior and constant. It was sacred.

knowledge: HAY HE KNOWS THE HORSES MOUTH - 09/04/12 12:01 AM
Remember Mister Ed the talking horse who always helped his owner out and also got him into all sorts of controversy. That is because of the proven dynamic of hearing things from the HORSES mouth. The phrase is a slang for the source of who knows...the bottom line or "this is it" or what is realy truly happening...Talk to the horse..the horses mouth
THE HORSE'S MOUTH CAN BE FOUND IN MANY CAREERS AND SERVICES

knowledge: REAL ESTATE AGENTS SHOULD BRIEF YOU ON WHAT TO EXPECT - 04/13/12 12:53 AM
I love having dialog with people who know their stock in trade. Doesn't matter what the subject is either. Anyone who is good at what they do brings value to any discussion. I recently met up with a lady who cleans homes and she is well-organized and thorough on what she does. During conversation, she shared that she was in foreclosure and had to move right away...
