Are you the solution or the problem? 

I think it was my recently departed Mum that first introduced me to the great old saying: “if you’re not part of the solution, then you’re part of the problem”….  Some of you will have read my recent thoughts on the 2 big red flags I see waving in the face of the real estate

‘She just needs to take a teaspoon of cement and harden the f#ck up!…’

Now I’m not saying every real estate business is ablaze with the same archaic ethos on how to treat their team members, but I can still see some burning embers and smouldering ashes on the horizon.

Time – People – Money

It’d be incredibly unkind of me to generalise the entire real estate profession as having a reputation for being cautious with their coins.

EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE – THEY’RE WATCHING YOU…

There’s some debate around whether the artist, Sting, wrote this song as a love song, or as a creepy song about a possessive partner in an oppressive relationship.  It’s all a matter of perspective I guess.   But it’s possibly a good segue to something that’s really troubling me with our society at the moment.

If I Were an Australian Real Estate Agent in 2019

In December 2009, Marketing genius Chris Brogan authored an excellent piece titled ‘If I were a Realtor’. I wrote about it and shared it here. In his short piece, Brogan dotpointed things he’d do if he were a Realtor in 2009 with the then emergence of video, Twitter, and a new fad thing called Facebook.
