change: Why Many Realtors Should Refer Their Short Sale Listings To Specialists - 01/29/11 08:06 AM
 
It never hurts to have public discourse.
Dave Halpern, a Louisville short sale agent, wrote this post a few days ago and at first, I thought it was lacking.  Why?  Because I have a bit of a problem with the word expert at times.  The word is important and I do believe we should all strive to be experts in our field, but often I feel the word is used without a basis in logic or fact.
I (along with a few others) mentioned this in our comments to Dave's post and as you can see from his comment, he … (1 comments)

change: ActiveRain Success Story: The Times They Are A Changin' - 12/04/10 03:49 PM
Previously, on ActiveRain...
I wish I had thrown a date in the ActiveRain Success Story (quoted below) that I wrote.  It seems like I wrote it about fifty years ago (I haven't even been alive that long, despite what you may think), but I'm guessing it was somewhere around a year ago, maybe more.  My time at ActiveRain has been fruitful; bringing me clients, friends, and contact with all sorts of influential people in the real estate industry.  It's garnered me recognition, both as a Realtor® and a blogger/tech-geek.  It's made me money and cost me nothing (other than a few … (6 comments)

I hate writing this post.
I feel angry, frustrated, and annoyed that I am doing this post.  I shouldn't have to.  For those of you that have been following along with the recent decision by MIBOR (Metropolitan Indianapolis Board Of Realtors®) to send everything back to committee (again).  If you haven't been following, these articles will help bring you up to speed:

Has it really been four days?
I just looked at my last post and basically, I haven't been around much in the last four days.  I have a good excuse though, my wife just returned from England after a week's vacation visiting her family and to be honest, I wanted to hang out with her more than all of you.  Not that I don't enjoy my time spent here on ActiveRain, but the facts are the facts - I love my wife a whole lot more.
It's also been a busy four days.  … (8 comments)

My wife and I have a tendency to find stray cats.
Since our last cat passed away, we have been noticing a little cat scooting about our backyard late at night.  Over time, we realized he was heading under the large deck in our backyard and assumed he must be living under there.  He was scared and jumped at any noise and headed right for his little lair of darkness.  Like we do every time we see a stray, we decided to name him ("Spaghetti Cat" was our choice) and started bringing out bits of food … (46 comments)
