Common and rare!
Good and great!

real estate: TREM # 10 R Cubed Ranting While Stretching - 07/28/09 01:39 PM
You've read my recent blog by the same name. This post is not so much about ranting as it is about getting attention.
All the wisdom in the world is of no value unless shared. Sharing, communicating, teaching and even giving orders never works unless you get the attention. So as … (3 comments)

Random Rampant Ranting
Sympathy Is Not Help!
Emotional empathy cures nothing, no one!
Caring can not overcome incompetence.
Misery loves company.
Caring incompetents are good company.
"There ought to be a law" is ignorance, there almost always already is a law.
"We need to enforce the existing laws" is wisdom.

After a four hour drive we arrived at the cottage a … (12 comments)

real estate: People Centric Real Estate - 05/07/09 01:55 PM
People centric real estate is very simply understanding that real estate is irrelevant except for it's relationship to the people that use it. Solving the people problem is all that matters. Even dilapidated buildings don't have problems. Lots don't care what happens to them. You can maintain, you can rehab'/remodel, you … (10 comments)

real estate: Two Twosomes / Two Years Ago / Two Problems / Two Solutions / One Winner - 04/05/09 01:03 AM

Allot of very good people are not going to like this video. This is not a personal attack on any one. It is simply an observation on the devolution of professionalism! The total perversion of a term. Proof of the heard mentality. This is an argument against blind conformity!

I've just read a blog where the clients are fighting over a $250.00 earnest deposit. Can you believe it $250.00!

real estate: Pcanalyticalconstrictus - 11/20/08 08:06 AM
This vicious reptile lurks in the media, slithers from computers, flourishes in the internet, and hides in volumes of paper camouflaged in numbers, and appears spiting facttoids.. It's attack can only be detected by it's symptoms. It's victims should get very excited by each new opportunity, but instead procrastinate and over … (4 comments)
