realtor: The Top Five Things "A Charlie Brown Christmas" Can Teach Us About Real Estate - 12/11/09 06:57 AM
I always knew there was more to this wonderful little slice of Christmas!  I love how she applied it to our profession.  Very insightful!

As I was re-watching"A Charlie Brown Christmas" (ACBC) this season, it struck me that the terrific life lessons contained in this beloved holiday special could easily apply to those of us who work in real estate -- especially during a year of recession.

realtor: I am Thankful - Even in THIS Real Estate Market! - 11/25/09 02:18 AM
