selling real estate: The Liberties of a Real Estate Entrepreuner - 07/04/10 02:59 AM
The daily grind of a career in real estate can be exhausting.  Your clients and vendors needs (and sometimes demands) may seem never ending. The hustle and bustle of real estate starts at the listing or home buying purchase and doesn't end with each transaction until it closes.
You might say a career choice in real estate is truly suited for a few determined souls.
Living in the land of the brave
A Real estate career is not all a tale of woe

Is Real Estate on your Client's Bucket List? You Bet It Is

I was thinking about this topic last week when I was finishing up my goal sheet for 2010.  I personally have two real estate purchases I am working toward that effect my immediate goals for 2010.  One is to purchase a single family residence in Lake Geneva within the next 3 years.  The second is to work toward purchasing my dream real estate property, a log cabin, within the next 10-15 years, close to the time that I plan to put my business up for sale.

selling real estate: You Can Become The Heavyweight Champion of Real Estate - 11/17/08 03:49 AM
In August, I wrote a post, "You can become the Brock Lesnar of real estate" in which I talked about a real estate agent who shifted his business from selling regular resales to REO's and Foreclosures.  The shift resulted in his survival as a real estate agent in his local market.
Today I wanna talk about becoming the heavyweight Champion of real estate in light of discussions I have read about:
New agents vs. seasoned agents. Web 1.0 real estate agents vs. Web 2.0 real estate agents. The dance of the DOW The employment factor There's a lot to be learned … (17 comments)

selling real estate: Selling a house? No- You are selling a lifestyle. - 07/28/08 02:35 PM
When you get into the practice of real estate are you just selling houses? If you answered yes, then I must say you are mistaken, because you are really selling a lifestyle.  To a homeowner, real estate buyer, or a seller a real estate transaction will always be a personal transaction when dealing with straight up- residential first and second home transactions.

selling real estate: Should you pay the cost to be the boss of your real estate sale or purchase? - 03/07/08 07:46 AM
Watching the news yesterday, they are anticipating gas costs to increase in May to no less than $4/gallon. No big surprise there. So I was wondering a question I posed on my corporate blog to real estate buyers and sellers.
What up front costs should a real estate consumer incur to sell or buy a house?
