hawaii: Was 2007 Fun? It Was For Me. - 12/21/07 06:27 AM
As I get to the end of 2007 I felt I needed to reflect on this past year and get ready to hit the ground hard for 2008.

The year started a little on the slow side.  I spent much of December in and out of the hospital at the end of 2006 and most of January and part of February recovering from a surgery and then some complications.  As you know what you work … (24 comments)

hawaii: Not All Sellers Are Motivated - 12/18/07 04:33 PM
Earlier today I presented an offer for one of my buyers on a condo just outside of our planned community.

I submitted their offer to the listings agent.  Our offer was lower than the … (35 comments)

hawaii: Practicing or Performing Real Estate - 12/17/07 08:21 AM
                                                                               
I just read a blog post by Scott Daniels titled: You have to have the right tools in order to practice Real Estate.
He shared a story about a real estate agent who was trying to practice real estate without the proper tools.  Besides noting how poorly their clients were probably being serviced; it made me think of another question.  When taking on a client are you practicing real estate (I mean in the context of trial and error) or are you performing the business of real estate?
Many times we as professionals run across others in the industry that clearly does … (32 comments)
