Tuesday started out nicely.  We leisurely got out of bed knowing we had no appointments.  After working on numerous projects, we went to lunch at one of our favorite haunts.  So far, so good and even the errands were okay.  Does this happen to you?  The day starts out nicely, the day proceeds fai...

Blogging is therapeutic at times, especially when I am passionate about the subject matter I am addressing.  Sometimes, however, blogging can be a challenge.  I have blogged 240 times in the past two years or so.  My blogs are then posted to the TEAM Hughes website, to our Facebook page and also ...

TEAM Hughes Real Estate School has had growing pains this past year and they aren’t about to miraculously stop.  One of the stiffest challenges we’ve faced is finding instructors that we are willing to trust our business to.  Becoming a good instructor is no easy feat, regardless of how the instr...

The holidays are over, the tree is down, the kids are back in school, and now it’s time to get down to business.  If you have a real estate license, STOP!  This blog is not for you!  If you want a real estate license, continue on.  This blog is especially for you! I was first licensed in 1983, so...
