I love stories. In particular those told in movie theaters. I also love books. When I open a book to read I am immediately transported into the story. Stories are powerful ways to get a point across. People can relate so much better to stories than to dry facts. As a real estate agent I find that if I can make a point with a story to a client it is much better received. So, the next question any many minds would be, where do you get the stories from? Well, for me, it comes from life and being engaged in Real … (10 comments)

I had an enjoyable day today. I shot video of a $1.1 million home. It was situated right on a lake front and was beautiful. But you know what? That really was not the best part. I was blown away at the end when we asked the owner what he loved about his home. I recorded 40 minutes of video without pausing. Know what I got? Pure passion from a man who built and lived in the home. The owner poured his heart out about what he loved about the home he designed and built. At first he was a bit … (8 comments)
