independent brokerages: Which Sports Car Are You? - 07/13/08 11:52 AM

What type of personality do you have?
A friend sent me an interesting little quiz which determines "what type of sports car you are" based on your personality. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this test, but it's fun neverthless.
Apparently, according to the test, I'm a Ferrari: "You've got … (21 comments)

Best wishes to my fellow ActiveRainers for a happy, healthy and relaxing 4th of July.
I'm off to Jamaica (Montego Bay area) for some much needed rest and relaxation.
It's been a difficult 6 months so far this year. With that in mind I plan to relax, eat some great food and drink wonderful cocktails, enjoy the sun, the … (10 comments)

independent brokerages: Never overlook the obvious ..... - 06/20/08 01:13 PM

Something happened today that made me remember that we must "Never overlook the obvious".
While filling up at the gas station today, I noticed a lady fidgeting around her new Mercedes Benz. Then the station supervisor joined her and they both seemed to be anxiously searching for something inside the car. … (18 comments)

independent brokerages: I'm all for "PASSION" - but why the constant "ANGER and FURY"? - 06/11/08 11:59 AM

I enjoy a healthy and open debate. I like to hear different views and opinions. After all, that's how we broaden our minds and learn. We need to see situations from different perspectives otherwise all we have is a narrow-minded, tunnel vision outlook.
What I cannot understand is the constant anger … (22 comments)

I have been responding to a Blog - The New Real Estate Agent by Ralph Odierna - and decided I'd like to moderate this subject at further length, hence this Blog.

independent brokerages: "You don't pay me for what I do...you pay me for what I know." - 05/20/08 11:30 PM

This is a great quote which I read in a blog on ActivRain today. I know that many plumbers and electricians use this line - but it's true. The same way my neighbor locked herself out her house at about 9pm the other night and I assisted her in calling an after-hours locksmith. … (41 comments)

independent brokerages: In-House Escrow Companies, Mortgage Brokers & other Service Providers - 05/04/08 06:55 PM

I am surprised that so many Buyers and Sellers allow their Agents to recommend "In-House" service providers like Mortgage Brokers and Escrow Companies.
Despite the disclosures that Brokerages provide to inform clients that the Real Estate Brokerage has a financial interest in the service provider, I believe that clients would be better served … (7 comments)
