Ok, not really! But it is nearing the end of the year. Right now, we are working with our Agents, creating a business plan that will work for them. It's set up to move with them. To be tweaked as they move from month to month so as to focus on WHAT'S WORKING and drop what's not! This means lookin...

On the Fourth Day of Real Estate, Seven Gables gave to me....Break Down! If each problem is part of a greater problem, it also means that each problem is composed of many smaller problems. It turns out that decomposing a problem in many smaller problems — each of them more specific than the origi...

On the third day of Real Estate, Seven Gables brings to you.....Portion Control! Okay! Not THAT kind of protion control, but I did want to emphasize something.

If you have ever read one of my blogs, you know that I have a knack for bringing everything in life and relating it Real Estate. Today I’m going to take a break from that and focus solely on the brave Men and Women who serve our country so faithfully, and to thank the families that raised their c...

Well, it's that time again!  Time to go out and have your voice be heard.  Regardless of your political affiliation, voting is something a lot of us take for granted.  Some of us don't value the immensity of this honor and privilege!  Some of us choose to let others make the choice for us and the...

So, I was laying on my sofa a few days ago, looking at all of the boxes I've collected in preparation to move, and thinking that I really should start packing, but what the heck, I felt like being a sloth! That got me to thinking about the 7 Deadly Sins, how many I had, and how many applied to Re...
