realtor: "You Have Changed Our Minds Forever About Real Estate Agents"
- 12/18/09 03:53 AM
I received a great note in a Christmas card that a past client sent to me. It really made my day. Dear Tim, A belated thank you for all you did to get our house sold and your patience in finding us a new home. (We love it.) We greatly appreciated your attention to detail, your responsiveness and thoroughness on our behalf. You have changed our minds forever about real estate agents. We wish you continued success.

realtor: The REALTOR® Designation. It Sets an Agent Apart
- 01/02/07 03:14 PM
Article two of the REALTORS® *code of ethics states that REALTORS® shall avoid exaggeration, misrepresentation, or concealment of pertinent facts relating to the property or the transaction. I'd like to take that thinking a little futher and allow my readers to know exactly what it took for me to earn the designation of REALTOR®. Many have probably seen ads that go on about how important it is to make sure you're working with a real estate agent who is also a REALTOR®. "If you see the REALTOR® "R", you know you're working with a professional who does business by a code of ethics, is … (4 comments)

Have you ever told someone you were a REALTOR® ? * If your are a real estate agent and a REALTOR® , shame on you for using the trademark incorrectly.

Unfortunately, the response makes sense only if the listener assigns to the term REALTOR® the meaning "real estate … (0 comments)
realtor: Niche Marketing and Fair Housing

(I had a satirical part here about a fictitious group of real estate agents to show how other niche groups could sound very offensive to others. I thought I should remove it in case someone just read the initial paragraph and didn't make it to the rest of the story) America has always been a melting pot where immigrants were proud to learn the American way and were proud to be called an American.

realtor: Digitized Realtor Map Book
- 11/30/06 03:19 AM
Does anyone know of any place that has digitized Realtor map books? What I'd like is to be able to select an area on a map and have it print out a large map at the same resolution as if I had copied and pasted together map pages from a map book. I'd like to print it out on a large plotter type printer that could print maps as wide as 36 inches. When I start with a new client I will piece together a large map of the area they are interested in. I make copies of all of the pages … (3 comments)
