It's Going to Be Ok

I think the new saying for 2021 should be "Give it a Rest!" You know, that simple, old-fashioned saying our grandmothers used to get us to settle down, stop being foolish and snap back into doing the right thing, the best we can, without forgetting that - Everything is going to be ok.

Nobody Needs More Marketing

Real estate happens at the corner of life and change. Every sale, every purchase has more than a net-proceeds sheet and a beat-the-price deal. Every sale has a story. Imagine making that response the purpose, the goal, of your message!
