A recent post by Tony Gallegos, Thank God You Don't Have To Look Like George Clooney To Be Successful, got me to thinking about the importance of marketing fundamentals.  Don't mistake this post for being anti SEO or anti internet marketing.  It's not intended as such.  I'm the greatest believer ...

It's impossible to overstate the importance of public speaking skills.  Each of you give a formal presentation every time that you meet with a buyer, or seller, whether or not you recognize the encounter as such.  Your presentation skills can be developed, improved, and finely honed through focus...

Tens, even hundreds, of millions of dollars pass through title company escrow accounts each month.   The money technically belongs to consumers in the form of purchase money funds, seller proceeds, payoff funds, or refinance loan proceeds.   The title company is simply the guardian of the funds. ...

On Sunday afternoon, I posted an article titled Talking is Action.  The post dealt with the incremental costs to real estate agents for the unanticipated services associated with difficult transactions.  I'm grateful that so many of you shared your front-line stories and learned a great deal from...

I've decided to "weigh in" on the issue of providing unanticipated services from the perspective of a real estate agent because I'm sure that many of you are working harder than you have in the past.  Much of the weekend was spent in preparation for an upcoming presentation to title professionals...

I'm up early this morning previewing the slide display that will be used by an attorney that I'm giving a presentation with next week.  More specifically, my co-presenter is a claims attorney for a national underwriter.  Her PowerPoint presentation is possibly the best that I've seen and the info...
