By Brian Copeland I love reading warning labels. One of my favorites is “For external use only,” which has been spotted on numerous curling irons. Another favorite is on a child’s Halloween superman costume that says “Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly.” Wouldn’t it be great if homes came with warning signs posted with the true …
By Laura Rubinchuk Has anyone told you recently that you may sell real estate, but you’re actually in the lead generation business? Yeah, it struck a chord with me too. Your next closing could be, and ideally would come from, your next lead. So how are you generating leads? I like to the think of it as a big circle …
By Nobu Hata I got stuck watching the Olympic Closing Ceremony and the highlight – for me – was watching how uncomfortable Avril Lavigne looked singing her hit opus “Girlfriend.” It was painful watching the once married, now divorced, 26-year-old post-tweenage pop punk princess singing an ode to adolescent high school girlfriend jealousy, while looking – literally – like she …
By Jeremy Williams I encourage you today to fit in your schedule a time to drive to a parking lot of one of the most trafficked places in your community. Park your car. Turn off your cell phone.

Our livelihood is dependent on our personalities and how we deal with stress. We all know real estate can be stressful. So how does one move on? The …
By Dawn Miller I didn’t think I would be that excited to get “rid of the old and in with the new!” It’s a new year with a renewal of focus. How was your first month of 2010? I am fortunate to be a REALTOR® in a real estate company that is consistently on the NAR’s top private brokerage firms, as seen in REALTOR® …
By Kelly Reark Do you want a sense of accomplishment? Do you want to be a highly effective person? Are you feeling like there are just not enough hours in the day? With all the fun ways to waste time every day, it is imperative to learn time management. I used to think that by sitting down once a week …
By Lincoln Crum One of the people I admire so much these days is the hip hop star, music executive, and social entrepreneur Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter. Jay-Z has worked tirelessly in building a brand of “him.” The elements that stand out to me is his ability to build a brand around his artistic talents, which equate into business deals and …
By Travis Broadwater Dear Blog, I must apologize for my lack of commitment lately. Between prospecting for new clients and trying to keep my closings on track I just haven’t had time to fill you in on my day-to-day activities. I promise I can change, can you forgive me?
