Another SPAM in my mailbox. It never stops. SPAM is like cockroaches! Even with the best insecticide and my old, beat-up pointed Tony Llama boots, I can never seem to kill them all. It's soooo frustrating! This arrived in my mailbox today. And I keep getting them/ 5 to 12 of these a week. I've h

If you've been in real estate for a while, you might remember when Google first appeared on the Internet landscape more than 11 years ago. Google fought the PAY to Play game by publicly telling people that Yahoo's Paid Inclusion program was evil. My, oh my, what a difference a decade makes. Becau

As an Apple developer, we are prevented from telling the public a lot of what is coming in future Apple releases. This week's announcement sort of went THUD on some people's expectations of "Where's the iPhone 5 and the iPad Mini?" The iPhone 5 and a smaller iPad Mini is coming. But it will be la

17 phone calls on this topic came to me just yesterday, and I have maybe 30 more calls to return today on this same topic. "Bart, do you think me switching from my current website to a Zillow PAW Website is a good idea?" Short answer: Nope. Unless you just woke up from a seven month nap, let me

Sorry the bartman has been away for a while. It seems that a few new clients have taken me away from my blog writing for ActiveRainers. If any of you watch ABC's SharkTank we picked up one of their companies that was invested in by sharks: Mark Cuban and Daymond John. The company is EzVip.com an

Okay, I'm back. I moved to Monument from Santa Fe, and I have to admit -- the Bartman has been a bit lax in getting the word out to us REALTORS about some cool new widgets and marketing tools you cannot live without. This week, we just came back from sponsoring Agent Reboot. It's a traveling roa

Incredible Agent promised too much. IDX. Websites. Blogging. Training. And so much more. I'm pretty sure the word (FREE) was in there, too. So much for their "credibility." All you had to do was go to the Complaints Board and see their complaints. I mean WOW. Click here and look at the string

As REALTORs, our brokers, our MLS associations and the National Association of REALTORS tends to frown on the practice of inflating or misrepresent the marketing of a home when we know it to be defective or in really bad shape. Omitting serious defects by labeling the home in "AS IS," condition i

You can't believe EVERYTHING you read. And I'm going to show an excellent example of this below. Domain Registrations. I use a firm called BulkRegister.com. It was bought out a few years by a firm called ENOM. They are ICANN approved which means your domains are safe once you buy them. And you

What Heck Is That? It looks like a design you'd see from an Anazazi Indian pot from 500 years ago. If you've been living under a rock for the past few months, you might not know what a QR Code is. A QR Code is a simpler version of a BAR CODE tag. And I'm really shocked to see just how many p
