Fess Parker – August 16, 1924 – March 18, 2010

Some old memories for the end of the week…..and, then, for those of you who remember Mingo, I just had to remind everyone of the clip below.

“Madre de dios…!”

Mrs. Marquez said that, and it seemed a fair estimate to me. Everywhere we looked in the overlit Read the rest of this entry »

In some ways, my stengths – I love to tinker with eletronics, am Internet savvy, know a little about marketing – are my weaknesses: I like to do things myself, or at least like to fully understand exactly what someone working for me is doing so that I could take it over if need be.

Witness my web performance. I’m doing pretty well right now, with top rankings on Google etc. I’ve Read the rest of this entry »

Proving that happiness is not what happens to you…heard this (famous song):

“Got no money in my pockets…had a job and I lost it…but it won’t get to me…”
“…I’m alive and I’m free…who wouldn’t wanna be me.”

One of the things that I admire about Greg is how thoroughly he makes sure that EVERYTHING he can do is done to market a sellers property. Custom signs, coffee table books, the list goes on and on. When it comes to sellers, he gets his money the old fashioned way, he earns it.

One of the quiet unsung Bloodhound heroes of a broker is Cheryl Johnson. If you want to see someone who puts EFFORT into building Read the rest of this entry »

Teams have proven themselves a potentially profitable strategy in real estate brokerage, as almost every mid-large company has at least one pretty successful team under its roof. I’ve never had buyer agents or specialized listing agents on my team. I use the same philosophy Dad and his buds.

One of my favorite recent projects has been AreaAtlantaHomes.Com.

The Marketplace is a large Metro Area with lots of interesting geographic niche opportunities and a naturally progressive Read the rest of this entry »
