We have a love hate relationship with a firm in Michigan. Maybe you have one of these kind of relationships with another REALTOR or broker in your home town? They love to hate us because we have taken away some of their former employees and some of their photographers to use our services. I wa

In my last big post regarding real estate syndication, we discussed the moo-like herd mentality that many of us are so quick to push their listing inventory out the door to anyone who promises to syndicate your listings. As I dived deeper into the demographics of next time home buyers, I wasn

Taking a look back -- it's certainly been a crappy year for a lot of us in 2009. Unless you're one of the smart agents to have made a small fortune in Short Sales or Foreclosures -- you might agree with me that 2009 for sales commissions has been bit distressed, too. No pun intended for you Certi
