dutchess county real estate: A T.E.A.M. FOR ALL SEASONS
- 02/07/17 05:25 AM
When I was young the meaning of a team was sports related like baseball, basketball or football teams competing against one another. As I matured I began to develop a keener sense of life and began to see the competition and the drive these teams had to win! I was a cheerleader (little known fact) in elementary school cheering on the CYO basketball teams with a resounding T-E-A-M…GO TEAM. Still thinking that the only meaning a team had referred to sports. Fast forward to the post college business world and a team was a department in a corporate structure that needed to perform … (3 comments)

dutchess county real estate: Price OR Value OR Cost
- 09/23/15 08:58 PM
Price is ONLY a consideration when there is an absence of value. How much would you pay for something that had no value? You wouldn’t right? Let’s look at the psychology behind it…an item of value is priceless? Value is subjective. When we see that something is a value do we ask what it costs? Cost is key. What something will cost will be reflected in the price as it is related to value. All sounds confusing? let’s put this into perspective when searching for a home. A home is listed for $465,,000, that is the price; the taxes are $19,517…and this seems out of balance … (1 comments)
