I have just finished some great classes with one of our trainers, and I can not believe how much information and technology is truly out there. I also can't believe how so many agents become so afraid of change that they end up not utilizing the great tools out there. I think we should all take s...

I think that he just did. This weekend a couple of new records were set at the box office by this little movie called The Dark Knight.  Was it all that the media cracked it up to be? Yes, and then some. Being some what of a purist, I had my doubts. How could you replace Jack as the best Joker eve...

Just a quick note about all the growth in Texas, and Tyler in particular.  WE ARE GROWING!!!!!!!  According to the news reports all over the other night, Tyler has grown a whopping 15% since last year.  Is that nuts are what?  No.  I guess many people have finally figured out that we have a great...

Well, it has been several days since my last post, and I will admit that the withdrawals have been horrrrribbbbbleeee.  However, I have legitimate reason why I have not been spilling the knowledge from forth my mind.  It is called a closing.  Yes, almost all of us have had one of those things bef...

So, there I was feeling sick waiting for a close that I hoped would close. I say hope, because two days before the closing date I was still sending needed documents.  Oh, I warned them.

(with me so far? leaving out the names for obvio...

If you stop learning, if you stop trying new technology, if you fight the ever changing world, how can you expect to be successful?  So, what...

Well, here I am at the end of my first week on AR, and I have to tell you this place rocks. I'm on Facebook, and I have mentioned AR about four times this week.  I love the wealth of information, the kinship, the efforts to help that you find here. I think blogging on AR should be mandatory for a...

As I get ready to close this latest deal, I am reminded that I should give my sellers a gift for letting me represent them.  I have listened to them, and have a gift picked out, but once again I find myself wondering what amount I should spend.  How much is too much? Is it based on the amount of ...

For those of you that visited Tyler once many, many, moons again, I just thought I would let you know things have changed.  I have lived here for about 12 years, and let me tell you we have some growth going on here! I learned yesterday of a new hotel going in by the toll road. I think this makes...
