Charging Advance or Retainer Fees Up Front-Is Anyone Doing This as a Regular Business Practice?
by Michelle C. Carr-Crowe and the Get Re$ult$ Team, Your San Jose Saratoga Lynbrook & Cupertino Schools Experts

My Points…and I Do Have Some…
By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe, Your San Jose Saratoga Lynbrook and Cupertino Schools Experts
I’m paraphrasing comedian Ellen DeGeneres’ well known tagline, “My Point…and I Do Have One…” to make a point(!)
A recent post on points (and the comments generated) provoked my post. I agree with David Saks - Broker (The Real Estate Mart of Tennessee, Inc.): Active Rain Points Nectar From The Rain. Points help us to know how we as professionals are doing within a set system.
Of course, as the original post David responded to pointed out: points without substance ARE … (4 comments)
