Tonight, I posted a short article on our main site as a follow up to last night's vent regarding the really rude cold call I received from house.com.  Tonight's blog went over my basic procedure for cold calling potential clients, and I want to thank Ron Parise for pointing out that cold calling ...

We posted on our site blog tonight regarding a co-op we started up earlier this year.  We feel it a definite positive.  Our client's listings receive added exposure, we allow potential buyers to become interested in our listings, and we are keenly aware of the other co-op agent's listings.  It is...

Good Morning Everyone,In the light hearted spirit of the season I chose to write a semi-autobiographical tale!I think I was visited by 2 ghosts last night! The first Ghost was the "Ghost of North Jersey Past" who showed up in a 1973 Dodge Charger and made a whole lot of noise. He reminded me of t...
