I really like my little Plugoo thingy that sits in the center column of my site. But sometimes I forget to turn it off when I walk away from the computer. You might send me a message and I might not see it until I come back later.
Other times I forget to turn […]

Congratulations to Walt Baczkowski (Metropolitan Consolidated Association of Realtor’s CEO) and Point 2 Agent (my miBirmingham.com host) for teaming up. Walt was just at our office meeting this morning letting our agents know they need to be on Facebook and Myspace, among other things.
2 hours later one of my ActiveRain friends let me know […]

..Mine isn’t but it was until yesterday.
I attended Professional Standards/Code of Ethics Training this week provided by the Michigan Association of Realtors. Our trainer, Bruce Aydt, went over changes in the COE, and this is one that actually was put in January of 2007, yet is not at all well known.

Today I step gingerly back into the gentle, or not so gentle, tides of real estate blogging. Over the last months, most of my energy has been used to care for my terminally ill father who passed away last week. Dmitry and I have kept up with our existing clients, referred out some […]

Larry Cragun has just launched the Neighborhoods Undressed blogging platform for Realtors. Coaching to be provided by Teresa Boardman. I think we have uncovered a great clothing optional Realtor client for him.

I’ve spent more time than I care to admit this morning reading a juicy blog about Kate in LA and her search for a home. From what I gather, Kate is a lawyer, and she and her boyfriend, whose identity she protects by calling him “E” so that he does not become an instant […]

Blog Tour USA stopped off in Birmingham Michigan on July 14th, and the city rolled out the red carpet. The streets were filled with people, bands played, and a festive atmosphere surrounded Rudy Bachraty and Joe Ferrara  of Sellsius when they got off of the bus.
Actually, it was Birmingham’s annual Day on the Town, a […]

Come one, come all Michigan Bloggers. We are being honored by a visit from the real estate blog tour bus that is traveling across America this summer. Sellsius Blog Tour USA is stopping in Birmingham and we are meeting at SKBK Sotheby’s today around noon. I presume Rudy and Joe will be […]

I love that little Plugoo thingy over to the right. It allows people to chat with me if I am on line or to send me messages if I am off line. Those messages actually come through to my Blackberry immediately, so if there were a “real estate emergency” (like you need me […]
