I believe in communication with friends, clients, and the world in keeping things simple. From my Southern group of friends in my life they passed this funny one on to me to keep things pretty basic. I like that. It helps with people like me who have simple brains. Redneck Ten CommandmentsSome pe

My Realtor colleagues have lamented the pace of change with technology and how the speed of change seems each year to be taking something away from each of us. Texting rather than talking. Emailing rather than phoning or visiting. Typing rather than cursive writing. The personal touch has faded.

Buyers of homes have much to teach us about WHY they select and settle on a particular abode. Many veteran REALTORS will say in the end the woman selects the house. I think there is truth in that. It isn't merely that they are better at flying by the seat of the pants than their male counterpart,

In Real Estate terms, the Realtor for life praise one heaps upon themselves, on the one hand to me, at least, reflected dedication, but on the other hand it seemed a departure from reality. Who could really be in your life forever, or was it just an old cliche, and lip service to outstanding serv

In glove compartments of cars of yesteryear you used to always find these oily regional or state road maps that assisted the navigator sitting in the front seat with the driver to get from places like New York to Florida for summer road trips and vacations. Today I think people Google map the who
