Typically I am asked by my buyers what in my opinion is the best time of year to buy a home? Though there are many factors that affect this, there are certain seasonal conditions that could weigh in your favor if you are still looking in November. So, this is not such a little thing, but those of you who haven't yet found your dream home can be thankful that the buyer's rush, at least for 2011,

Contrarian in the the Luxury Market and Beyond: I was wrapping up my day and getting ready to make a few client calls when I get this quick note from a lender colleague about my video, Why I Don't Want Your Listing - Remodel to Sell.

Housing starts rose 3.9% in November but don't put yours on the market JUST YET.

It is important to show gratitude in business, and it is important to give and give back. Somewhere, somehow in the cosmos, there is a store of benevolent energy that is created on your behalf when you give unconditionally. That is not only true in our personal lives, but in our professional lives as well. Of course, we are entrepreneurs to make a living, and to brand ourselves as the experts.
