By Anand Patel Earlier this year I gave a presentation locally that I entitled “The Pipsqueak Principles” — three lessons my now 2 ½-year-old daughter inadvertently taught me during her first year. You see, before her birth (as those of you who are new parents may attest to) I lived in my own bubble and didn’t pay much attention to …
By Brooke Wolford I recently moved to a new brokerage. It was an amazing change for me and I fell in love with my fellow agents and co-workers at the office. I’m the kind of person who really appreciates all the little things people do for me. I can honestly say that I have never met such a great group …
By Brett Caviness It can be boring, spending a large amount of your weekends sitting or standing in what are sometimes vacant homes for hours on end.

My interest in volunteering was two-fold: 1.) I love basketball and have always wanted to coach, …
By James Dunn Having been in the business for the last six years has been quite an experience. Beginning as a temp and working my way up to being a full-fledged REALTOR® is something I take much pride in (especially in this economy). I have prospered. I should point out that I define prosperity in my life as experiencing balanced …
By Brooke Wolford I have gone through a recent run of buyers who seem to take an extremely long amount of time to purchase a property. I began to feel pretty frustrated. I understood that this was happening with many buyers outside of my own, but it still seemed to frustrate me. I then found what seemed to be a …
