Okay, someone’s lying. I’m not sure where the lie started, but it’s being circulated like a wildfire with no end in sight! Maybe “lie” is too strong a word.

Hello everyone,  I am so happy and proud today, I had to share this Seven Gables success story with you.

Two weeks into the new year and I need to ask you, WHERE ARE YOU IN YOUR REAL ESTATE CAREER?                                                          I ask this for several reasons. The most obvious one being that most boards are now renewing memberships, and I am anticipating a BIG DROP.  I don'...

Monday was officially the first day back to work after what seemed like an eternity of Holiday time!  Now it's time to put on your thinking cap and see what you are going to do next?  Traditionally, most agents do not make the time to set up this strategy BEFORE the year ends, so this means that ...

Oh NO! Another year has come and gone… We all had goals…LOFTY goals! We projected an income at the beginning of the year, and some of us achieved that goal….others were nowhere near it! Who’s to blame? According to Inman news, the next couple of years are going to see a drop in part time real es...
