So, I write on Active|Rain… generally 10 posts a week… I know, I want the points, but it also keeps me disciplined. I write 7 posts a week for LaneBailey.com… again, one post a day is WAY easier for me to do that any other number because if I slack off the momentum, I [...]

Wow. I don’t know what else to say, but… Wow.

Back around the end of June, I found out that the Fox 5 iTeam wanted to shoot a segment in one of my listings, 9010 Brixham Court in Suwanee. At first I only knew that it was about home managers and live in stagers. [...]

Outside.In is a website devoted to neighborhood news.  I’ll be sending my feeds there.  Currently there are only feeds coming in from major media, but I think we will start to see more blogs and other media geo-tagging their content.

Of course, this is in addition to Localism, which is a site dedicated to hyper-local content, [...]

I am a partisan… but not for either of the major parties. So, I don’t mind fun being poked at either of them. In fact, I don’t mind fun being poked directly at my beliefs and those whom I support… as long as it is really funny.

I read a bunch of different blogs each day. One of those is by a marketing genius named Seth Godin. Today he had a post about the dumbing down of America. So many marketers, advertisers and service providers assume their clients/customers/consumers are just not that bright.

We see it in the news. [...]

While researching yesterday’s blog entry, I ran across this little tidbit.  Frankly, it p***es me off.  I am proud to be a member of the NAR.  I think that there is a place for a strong voice both for real estate professionals, and to champion the issues for increasing home ownership for consumers.

But this is [...]

I ran across a post on Active Rain that pointed me to an outside article that talks about the need for at least a 20% reduction in home prices in order for families to be able to afford to buy. Well, I love it when there are specific claims and statistics. I can [...]

Just about every magazine printed on paper, or even those that are just on the web, put up their top ten lists about this time every year. Ten best cars, trucks, tool, tech gadgets, vacation spots… you name it, and somebody out there rates it.

So, in an effort to be like everyone else, while [...]
