I have noticed that in the past few months most of the Realtors in my office have not been here. I understand things can be tough during Christmas break with having the kids at home, and the extra hours at daycare add up quick. So maybe staying home to save some money is what some of them ha...

If you were to put my business on a chart, you would find some mountains and valleys on the chart. One thing I have been working on, among other things, is keeping my business on a steady uphill line. It is harder said than done at times. I find it crazy how you can go from nothing to more...

The market that is and the anwer is....NO. We do not control the market, we just have to cope with it. I was talking with some of my fellow agents in the office today and one of them asked me why I was so happy. My reply was, there is nothing I can do to change the market, so I might as wel...

Ever hear people say they are so crazy they talk to themselves and sometimes have a fight with themselves? Of course you have and we all laugh at it. Ever think of how true it is though? For example, yesterday my principal broker was doing everything possible to get me motivated. There wer...
