competitors asking for advice, what do you do? - 04/25/08 12:13 AM
So I get this email from a relatively new competitior in the the Kansas City Market. Seems they are asking me for advice.
Sad but true, if you're the best, then everyone else wants to know how the hell you do it. So do you give free advice to your competitors or do you hold your secrets close to the vest. Or do you blog about it?
Well, I do all of the above, I have no problem offering advice, I teach classes, my wife is the president of the KC Chapter of The National Association of Residential Property Managers. I am the … (10 comments)

Raytown gets Googled! Street view maps - 04/24/08 09:55 PM
Today I was driving to another appointment, leaving my office on Raytown Rd. I was traveling South on Blue Ridge when I spied a Google camera car. We've all heard about them, you may have even seen a few pictures, but I actually saw the real McCoy.

I first noticed that they were working on Kansas City when I Googled my home address and was able to view my house from the street on "street view" . I checked then and they had not mapped my office.

Loopnet, Costar, Xceligent Commercial Real Estate Listing Services. Commercial MLS - 04/18/08 11:56 PM
 Loopnet , Costar , Xceligent
 Which one is right for you?
One of the things that separates the house sellers from the commercial real estate agents is the listing services we use. While you can post to most commercial MLS systems for free you must pay to gain access to sales data and other important information. If you want buyer leads from your listings you will need to have an account.
While Costar and Xceligent offer great tools and incredible comparable data, Loopnet allows investors to browse their listings. I have had great success with listing properties on Loopnet. Mostly Loopnet.com has been a great resource … (22 comments)

What would your obituary say about you? - 04/12/08 12:06 AM
I was pondering the obit page of the local paper, not something I read frequently but this time it was of interest. I wondered what would my obit read like. Thinking of that made me ponder what would people say about me after I was gone...
 I found a web page extorting the virtues of writing your own obituary. That site lofted the idea, implying it may help you establish goals and see yourself in a different light.
 So fill in the blanks. 
 Mr./Mrs. _______________________________________ Born ___________________ is survived by ____________________ and ______________________________. Married to _____________________ for _______________ years.
