Hi - Okay maybe I'm the only one who glossed over this when I saw their ad, but what is the scoop with Click Smart?  I know they are with Yahoo and have been looking at bloggers.  They called and left me a very nice and quite flattering voicemail, inviting me to buy a spot on their site.  Is anyo...

Yesterday I posted this entry about an easy way to get rid of negative thoughts and words in a snap (here is the post) http://http://activerain.com/blogsview/222109/SNAP-Get-rid-of.  Today I rolled out the idea to everyone at our Tuesday biz meeting (about 50 agents).  It was a riot!The idea, if ...

I have always given my clients a gift after closing.  I've done everything from the gift card for Target (boring but pretty well received, especially by first time buyers) to gift certificates for a stay at a resort (one client went to Hawaii!

Please don't misunderstand, I love my dogs.  In fact, I love them so much that this weekend I pulled dead and rotting fish parts out of their mouths as they greedily snarfed up what the lakeshore could offer.  But I don't think I would have my business photo include my dogs.  And they are good lo...

I'm up at my cabin for just the second time this entire summer.  But am I really on vacation?  I've spoken with one seller twice daily since I've been here (three days now).  I've talked with the agent covering buyers for me three times.  My office has called two times (the first call was 35 minu...
