Here's a question I've been thinking about... I am fascinated by ChatGPT, Claude and all of their brainiac friends. I know they are going to use up all the water we have and my kidney stones will suffer from it, I assure you. However, one cannot deny that this time period feels a little like 1995 when AOL was a ‘thing’ a lot of people were scared about. As I have begun to use it, I have been encouraged to talk to it like a friend, sometimes harsh, sometimes friendly and alway

Here's a question I've been thinking about... Ask any of my brokerage agents and they will tell you one of my favorite things to challenge them with is the phrase “Do you have a hobby or a business?” It is a legit question and, to be honest, it is my belief that most REALTORS have a hobby but call it a business. It is also fair that we were never taught to run a business; we were taught ad nauseam that an acre is 43,560 square feet. Important to know, for sure, but not really

Here's a question I've been thinking about... Real estate is a competitive sport and not for the weak or mealy-mouthed. It can be ruthless, heartbreaking, backstabbing and downright hateful. And that is just the agents! The clients sometimes are even worse! Every seasoned pro I know has a ‘black list book’ of agents that they would not help on the side of the road if there wasn't a drop of water for 100 miles. Show me an agent that has never been burned by a best friend, fami

Here's a question I've been thinking about... Quick glance at the above image and what do you take away from it as a lesson on how to build a career? (Other than it clearly being obvi AI 🤖) If you are like most Realtors, you saw marketing things like direct mail, open houses, networking, social media, etc. No argument from me, these are all very important. But look a little closer. Did you gloss over the foundation, pillars and roof of the house? Well, you prob didn’t becaus

Here's a question I've been thinking about... What has Madonna understood for the last 40 years that many real estate agents still haven’t figured out? Reinvention. Madonna has never stopped being Madonna. But she has repeatedly changed how Madonna shows up. New sound. New look. New audience. New way of getting our attention. She didn’t abandon who she was. She redesigned how she operated. And whether you love her, hate her, or think she should occasionally put some clothes o
