Yep, that's right.  It's a cat photo. Not into cat photos?  You can blame Pat Kennedy.  She mentioned possibly being reduced to "...posting cat photos.." in Broker Bryant's blog about burn out.

A Great Time to Buy?  I quit playing that tune years ago.  To play the mantra that "It's a Great Time to Buy," has always seemed self-serving to me, particularly when used to "Create Buyer Urgency."  What is THAT all about, when a Buyer has engaged me as a fiduciary, and I make it my goal to crea...

Should America Be Breaking Legal and Moral Eggs to Make Foreclosure Omelets?  I mean, "You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet."  Right?  Or, not? At many closings the attorney presents the Deed of Trust to the Buyers and says, "These 18 or 20 pages boil down to one simple concept:  You pa...

QR Codes:  The first QR Bus is rolling out of the station.  QR Code use for real estate is getting more buzz this year.  It is not yet too late to be an "Early Adapter" of QR Codes, but I sense we are near to an explosion in QR Code use.

Carolina Hurricanes Home Opener, 10/27/2010:  Where will you be when the puck drops?
