The Retail Industry is in transition, it reminds me of the transition from ‘film photography’ to ‘Digital photography” with a twist. Some of you might remember what that was like. I still recall taking two rolls of film of my listings and dropping them off to get them developed. I also remember paying extra to be able to pick them up faster and then choosing about four or five pictures from the 72  that I took and using it for marketing.You might be saying, Endre this is old news, the Internet Shopping has replaced the Retail Industry a while back, so what is the big deal? Retail is dead and just face the facts and move on. Well not so fast, the Commercial Real Estate Industry is not like the film manufacturing industry. Allow me to share with you some interesting new developments. If y...

Weltanschauung: It’s a New Year 2017 what is my view of the Active Rain Community and the interaction? It seems, every year I get asked by my friend Lynn B. Friedman  to participate in this Jumpstart Challenge. I am lucky that I forget fast as to how challenging her request is and it hits me when she sends out the Contest Rules and reminders to participate and I have already committed myself to participate. Now I could take the easy way and pull out my old post and cut and paste it, but that would be no fun. After all, “change” is the only constant in the life of an Active Rain member as well as in this Beverly Hills Realtor’s life. Keeping in mind change is good if we make the changes. So, with that said, I just  barely figured out the year and darn, here comes 2017 is one way of looki...

Happy International Cat Day: August 8th, 2015 is International Cat Day!In case you did not know it The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) was established in 2002 in New Brunswick Canada. They in turn designated August 8, as International Cat Day. Some people know it as World Cat Day! Just amazing what twelve to thirteen years can do for a Good Cause!Needless to say it is a fantastic moment for me to clarify a few misconceptions about cats, women and men. One of the biggest misconception is that Women are the majority of cat lovers. Truth be told, there are statistics out there that prove this Urban Legend as incorrect, there is about a 50-50 ownership of cats amongst men and women!  Macho Men do not love or associate themselves with cats rather only with dogs. One of the bigge...

How to fight against the Internet Bad Guys who send you potential destructive emails....Recently I have noticed that the “bad guys” on the internet are getting better and better, I see emails allegedly from, Agents who I know or recognize their names…I also get inquiries from potential buyers who want me to click on the embedded link to identify their needs. Others tell me that their Pre-Approval letter or their Proof of Funds are in the embedded link. Most of these are sophisticated or not so sophisticated attempts at breaking into my emails…Then there are others who want me to click inside the email to show me what homes they are looking for and what price range…anyway you get the idea.Not wanting to lose a potential lead, I respond back by letting them know since we do not know each ...
