I've been around the block enough by now to know not to necessarily follow all the prospecting methods that are thrown at me just because my company or my broker-in-charge says I should do them!  Cold calling, farming, direct mail, open houses, SOI, conversational prospecting, FSBOs, expireds.......

Ouch!  Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill was just named by Forbes Magazine as the top gas-guzzling region!  Not exactly the sort of prize I'm proud to claim!

Well, okay, so I haven't gained fifty pounds--I'm not even sure I've gained a couple, but that's due to sheer wi...

Real estate agents talk a lot. Well, for the most part.  :) It's the kind of job that draws the extroverts and the personalities, that's for sure.  You have to enjoy meeting new people and working with new people to succeed in real estate! In this regard I guess I am a little unusual.  I'm an int...
