Being a neophyte (?) in blogging I finally have started to read a few. As I've discoved a long time ago, you don't learn anything when you're doing the talking, it's only when you are listening, or in this case reading, that you can really find anything meaningful that you didn't already know. So

Day two of blogging! In real estate today the questions,how's business etc., are the same with the answers mostly tinted by the varying degrees of agenda being injected by the answerer. R.E. "we've noticed an uptick in interest lately". What does that mean? Or, " I'm getting most of my prospe
