Dear Mr & Mrs. Seller,
I’ve noticed something funny lately. I happened to Google a couple of local agents’ names. I was really surprised that NOTHING came up. Shhhhhhh. Don’t tell them please. They are my competitors. I don’t really want you to find them. OK, OK, I don’t […]

Who would want to mess with my measly little real estate blog? […]

Every day I check my log files to see how people are finding my sites and my blogs. Its a little obsession that I imagine I share with many site owners out there.
Some funny things come up, and one day I will blog about them. I know they will amuse you too.
But this one comes […]

Call me Scrooge. Bah. Humbug!

There is one thing that sparks my latent shopping gene […]

Today I am holding open our listing on 663 […]
