I know my little intro is really on the 'boring side' and not a wonderful read. Took it from my website - as I didn't know how to jump in to the world of blogging. As blogging came out - I took the time to read through blogsites......... I am an … (0 comments)

Are you using PLAN for your business? Have you heard of PLAN? In some form or another, I've heard of it, but I've never heard of it in this context until today. PLAN stands for Prospect, Leads, Appointments, and Negotiate.

I've had the pleasure this year of working with three families, who, through different circumstances never grew … (0 comments)

I just finished reading Freakonomics, a bestseller by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner in which they share with the readers how economics has been applied to everyday situations. It is a must read. It is so fun to read that you'll breeze through it and it will change your perception of things. 
I just finished up a transaction with what I consider to be an exemplary real estate agent. Negotiations were tough and we went back and forth for a few days. But his model behavior was consistent all the way through. What a pleasure. 
When you are ready to negotiate a home purchase agreement, it's important to remember that a successful negotiation does not necessarily mean everyone gets what they want and no one goes home disappointed.

Forget about the bubble bursting, it’s making a mess all over everything! I’m not saying that I’m not grateful or appreciative for the offers that are 25% less than my already low low asking price (upwards of $100,000 below asking).
