Last week I made a post about Widgets asking for advice, info or feedback from other Rainmakers and their advice on how to use Widgets. I got multiple replies from other Rainmakers who want the same advice but no feedback offering insight to the use.

I just dropped a client because they preferred to listen to their son rather than me.  The son is not a Realtor and has never practiced Real Estate.  Nontheless, he is a Real Estate expert and at almost every turn rainman had suggestions counter to mine.

I just heard an interview on Fox Business where a representative of Corelogic offered statistics on home prices.  Apparently their statistics were in line with other sources so I tend to believe them.  The good news is nationwide housing prices declined by only 5% in 3rd qtr 2010.  Decline is not...
