Last year we had a "bad apple" in our office. Our broker, who wasn't there to see the problem, kept saying things like "ignore her"............"why does everyone let it bother them?".
When I started in Real Estate back in the mid-1980's, in New York State, I was told that Continuing Education was a requirement to keep my license active. I started to hear about various Designations or Professional Certifications. When I researched the courses that my board of Realtors gave I noticed that … (0 comments)
I know you know this, and I know this, but the media doesn't seem to get this...
The ever present gas/oil discussion continues to mount in this article from CNNMoney. I hate being ignorant of a subject and this one is really rubbing me the wrong way. It's not that I'm not interested in learning about the gas crisis or that it doesn't impact me (it surely does!), … (0 comments)
In many areas of the world people use step-farming, or vertical farming, to efficiently utilize awkward terrain or limited flat spaces in order to grow food. Now a new eco-friendly urban garden concept is on the horizon that may begin to change the face of urban food production and proximity to … (3 comments)
As per my last blog, I use a Konica Minolta c6500. I love it. Very infrequently do we do offset for projects, except business cards and some local guides. I do have a few agents that do overprinting. Meaning they get a template done offset in large, 1000s of numbers to … (2 comments)
Hey everybody! As you may or may not already know, Michigan has passed a film incentive bill to increase movie production in our state. Well to all the film production companies out there, I'm the guy to talk to if you're location department needs building, factory, office, or warehouse space for … (0 comments)
How are your sales in this heat? Southern California has been getting record heat and I love it....just kind of worried a little that people don't want to be out in the heat.
I am thinking to change my "showing hours" and advertise that I show homes when it's cooler...LOL
Seriously!! … (0 comments)

I heard on the news today that Saudi Arabia is considering boosting its oil production by 200,000 barrels! I guess they're finally listening to complaints...
Russell Shaw says market conditions favor full fee, full service experienced brokers
So, California is king of film production. Movie Town. Hollywood. Lights, camera, action!
Hi! Spring is still here (and spring break has BEEN here!) and Maui couldn’t be more beautiful! This is a great time to visit! Here are some of the fun things to do that are coming up in April: April 10 Taj Mahal and the Hula Blues Band in the Castle … (0 comments)
I was asked today to be part of a panel at an upcoming Re/Max Associates Plus Marketing Mastermind meeting. Apparently I was recommend for a few reasons. 
Any experienced salesperson that is considered 'tops' in their field develops a plan of action to achieve a specific goal every year. They carefully study what is working for them and what is not; and they are constantly fine tuning that plan to make sure it is performing to their goals. … (1 comments)
A few years back, I was introduced to the idea of using a personal coach to help my business get off the ground. I thought to myself hmmmm, when I played sports, every time I used a coach they really helped me get to that next level & in some cases, … (5 comments)
John Williams sound tracks, three camera shots on scene that take two minutes of the film but a day and a half to get in the can...Hollywood movies. That detail makes your little hokey property video look kinda like the Charlie Brown christmas tree doesn't it? But the viewer of … (4 comments)
This post does not necessarily pertain to buyers and sellers of homes and properties. However I feel that it applies to any and all decisions and why sometimes making those decisions can be so hard.
What a wonderful year it has been!!!
Over the past couple of years, equity has been extremely accessible to our clients. Times in our industry are changing with regard to guidelines and lending ability. However, that shouldn't distract your from creating a relationship with your refinance clientele. I have touched on the refinance with debt consolidation clients in … (0 comments)
I've been thinking about this for a while. There is a lot of hoopla regarding green building and green lifestyle these days. There are certainly many levels of greenness and I applaud you for whatever level you have reached. Unfortunately, being truly green is a lot more complex than it might … (6 comments)
This month I'll close about $5,000,000 in real estate transactions. Pretty awesome if you ask me. But let's be honest, it's been brutal out there. Many of the competitors have closed their doors and many individuals have left the business. Interesting to see who is week and who becomes strong in … (8 comments)

We're in a tough market right now and what we need most is superior training and lots of it. Keller Williams is a company with its foundation built on getting agents to the next level of production, whatever level that might be. We are fanatical about education.We inundate agents with over … (2 comments)
I don't know why, but October is always my best month for sales! Most people say sometime in the summer and some say it's the Spring, but I seem to have my board full in October. Who knows why?
Increasing Your Hourly Rate of PayWorking with PurposeEach and every one of us works on an hourly rate of pay. What we get paid by the hour has a direct correlation with what we choose to do with our time, and how we make use of the employees and systems we … (7 comments)
I was scrolling down my blog page, and noticed something that surprised me. The months that I've blogged the most have also been my most productive in terms of income. I'm not sure how in correlates, but it's intersting to say the least. Now when my wife or business partner complains … (4 comments)
Real Estate Case Study 
I would appreciate any ideas that you might be willing to share about what you do and say during an interview:
DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE 80/20 RULE? THIS RULE IS ALSO CALLED THE PARETO PRINCIPLE. I do. At least, in many parts of my life. I just gave a short presentation on it at one of my networking groups. I think when people don't understand it, it can really bite them. … (2 comments)
Photo Editing is frequently skipped or can eat away at agents time - the photo you thought was perfect, has the cats litter-box right in the foreground, or in the bathroom mirror you can see your good looking elbow jutting into view. But Elbows and Litter-boxes don't sell homes...What to do … (3 comments)
you're on ar, because you do real estate or something surrounding it. And there's probably hundreds of reasons why you do what you do, or want what you want. But, depending on where your sights are set, you have to like what you do. 
I just want to ask the community for their input on Real Estate Coaches. I mean the ones who charge the big bucks, promising to move your production into the Major Leagues. From what I have seen, they tie you up in a contract, say around $1,000/ month, then have some … (10 comments)
As per usual, the market has slowed down somewhat this time of year. Often times buyers don't like to think about moving around Christmas so many don't aggressively look until the New Year. However, business hasn't died completely and as agents it isn't such a good idea to continually discuss how … (2 comments)
Which designation first, and why?
