I'm a real results kind of guy. I'm not big on excuses and blame shifting. I don't like whining and complaining. I just want to see results. If you can't do something, or if you need help doing something, just ask and I'll help you if I can. A good while ago I wrote a blog about helping a fr

I've posted this before, but on this sacred day, it bears repeating. On this anniversary of September 11, 2001, I have to reflect a bit. On that morning, I had just returned from the gym and turned on the TV. The first tower had just been hit and there was a lot of confusion about what had just

I showed a property that was on the market for most of the year at approximately 35% over the current market for a similar property. Of course, it didn't sell. It came off the market, and then came back on at 25% over the market.The second agent fluffed up the description to make it sound like it

OK, I had a slow day last Wednesday. My office administrator was off to a class, and I had caught up on all of my calls and real estate related duties for the morning, and then a robo call came in. If you're like me, you get so tired of them. It's not unusual to have 20 or more a day at the offic

The past 24 hours have been challenging for our country. We've had mass shootings in multiple locations. This is not a rant, and it is not a gun control blog. I've always said I'm not an optimist or a pessimist, but I am a realist. I have enough years behind me to remember when our society was di

My lovely wife has her own blog, and today, she blogged about something that touches a lot of hearts. Close friends of ours lost their beloved dog this past week. Here is Buffy's blog about the impact of losing a pet. It's spot on. I hope you like it. A Best Friend Leaves a Paw Print… Posted on

The old Forest Gump comment about life being like a box of chocolates where you never know what you're going to get is something that most people can relate to. Life can be unpredictable even when you're not expecting anything. It can surprise you, even when you plan. It can terrorize you, when y
