wyoming: Didja' Ever Chase a Ball Downhill? - 11/20/07 01:04 PM
Last night at my daughters' band concert, I ran into another band kid's dad, a former Realtor, and we talked about today's real estate market.  He left the business a year or so ago to pursue his dream.  It was certainly the right decision for him.  He asked me, though, how … (7 comments)

wyoming: Perception is Reality. - 11/15/07 01:48 PM
On Wednesdays we gather together, the agents in our office, for a few slices of pizza and brainstorming.  Pizza - especially sausage & mushroom -- is an essential ingredient for brainstorming.  There's an enzyme it in or something that releases a thought-production hormone.  Hey, it's my story, okay?
So, we're throwing ideas … (6 comments)

wyoming: Must We Really Allow Political Correctness to Replace Good Sense? - 11/15/07 12:10 PM
Forgive me for what may border on a rant, but please, can we all stop being so careful?  Can we stop taking ourselves so seriously and try laughing at the nonsense instead of getting caught up in it?

wyoming: Most Businesses Have Loss Mitigation Departments. Do You? - 11/14/07 01:07 PM
For those of us who approach this business as a business, a successful career in real estate depends on loss mitigation.  Have you ever asked yourself how much money you spend on each listing, whether they sell or not?  What is your total marketing and self-promotion cost PLUS total cost of … (0 comments)

wyoming: It’s not a Want-to Market, it’s a Have-to Market. - 11/14/07 11:17 AM
Remember a long, long time ago - in a galaxy far, far away - when homeowners would say, "I'd like to sell but I don't need to sell" and we took their listing, put it on the MLS, wrote some ads, scheduled couple of open houses? 
That kind of motivation just … (3 comments)

Back in the mid-70's, we were living through an "oil shortage" thought to be the worst in U.S. History.  I remember riding in a car, passing gas station after gas station, all of them advertising their price for a gallon of gas.  All of them had signs on the pumps saying … (0 comments)

How to Write Good.
Realtors are salespeople.  Salespeople talk.  Most Realtor-salespeople talk good.  Writing, however, can be quite another matter.
Writing is an essential communication tool and it is sad to see otherwise bright, articulate people shy away from writing because of their lack of confidence in doing so.  It is just as … (4 comments)
