As an agent, I often read and hear stories from other agents who have had, shall we say, less-than-positive experiences with former (or in some cases, current) clients. It got me thinking about all of my former clients and how I felt about the relationships that were formed during the process of working together. This … (23 comments)

I just re-read what I wrote ... please put on your welding goggles: I have seen some really smart and seasoned people just give up. Then there are the "low lifes" that are still in the business. You know what the one major separating factor is? Most low lifes fight harder. Think … (17 comments)

Real Estate is a hard enough gig these days with cooperation but without cooperation it can be just pure havoc! If only people would realize it takes an entire team to get a transaction closed. 
While I was writing the first draft of The Irreverent Guide, a had a wonderful writing coach named Jeff Stein. He's a professional journalist and has two books already published and is working on a third now. He was the perfect coach because he knew zip about real estate and lots … (8 comments)
