Somebody here on Activerain sent me a private email recently. It read... "Hey Greg, probably should rephrase your comment as some people might get offended that you made a religious reference." My comment was a simple.. "oh Lord... blah, blah, blah." Nothing derogatory, disrespectful or blasphemo...

Activerain has been a phenomenal opportunity for me, my team and my future. It's been an excellent resource for education and has certainly played a huge part in my over all development. This morning I was interviewed by Marty Kramer, the Editor of Texas Realtor Magazine. The interview was ab...

I could hardly believe my eyes. A UPS driver cruising around with his 10,000 lb + vehicle, all while smoking, texting and driving. The proof is in the pictures. This driver was at the corner of Hwy 6 South and Westheimer, here in Houston around noon. I've seen a lot of crazy things while showing ...

I don't know about you, but I dislike stupid feedback through the showing service. Time and time again I have to try and explain to my sellers just what this feedback means.
