I walk every day by a group of houses with nice flower gardens and friendly dogs.  But I never noticed the sign until the other day.  “Chauffeur’s Cottage”, it said.  Who has a chauffeur these days?  Of course it didn’t mean that a driver lives there now, but it made me wonder who had built that ...

For the 30 days ending March 30, 2011 in the 3 nearest townships, there were 29 single family and twin homes that settled at an average price of $714,059.

As an entrepreneur, I find I have to become the expert on everything.  From telephone equipment to marketing.  And I don't know squat about telephones.  But I am getting a better idea about marketing.  I think a real estate agent either has to be in the right place at the time a person decides to...
