Hi Everyone,   I am in the process of writing a book, it's a book that may never see the eyes of anyone but me, but I feel like it's the right thing for me to be doing right now.

I just had a coaching session with a student of mine and we went over a few things, she is relatively new in the business and has had some difficulty deciding how much business she would like to do, she is pretty timid and afraid that she may be "thinking too big" (to which I replied, "there's no...

Good Morning. I have seen a certain trend developing in our industry which some would consider disturbing, I myself see it as a sign of opportunity. There's an old saying in the investment world which goes something like this, "when everybody else is getting out, get in. And when everybody else i...

I am just looking at doing a quick post today, I may rant later about this same topic, but it's something that has been on my mind these past few weeks, It seems that we are deluged with news stories telling us that our careers as Real Estate Professionals are collectively over, that the housing ...
