I don’t always write about real estate, even though that is how I make my living. But every so often something happens that I feel obligated to write about in an effort to hopefully help distance myself from the deceptive behaviors I see on a regular basis in the real estate industry. Real estate inventory …
One of the things that I strive to communicate to my clients is the importance of understanding the transaction from the “opposing” side. I use that word not in an adversarial way, but simply because it is accurate. The sellers and buyers are at opposite ends of the settlement table, but one of my jobs …

“Never allow your ego to diminish your ability to listen.”
― Gary Hopkins
In this episode, we take a look at how we entrepreneurial types sometimes allow our ego to run roughshod, which can ultimately be detrimental to growing as an individual. It is important that we have a proper understanding of our own strengths and weaknesses, and squash any and all desire to become puffed up in our own minds.
“Poverty was not created by God. It is we who have caused it, you and I through our egotism.”

In this episode, I sit down with “The Sultan of Silver” himself, George Bruno. To say that George is a professionally licensed barber is almost like doing him a disservice. I prefer to use the term Renaissance Man. Whether he’s posting videos of beard grooming tips, sharing random insights on father/son relationships and cigars, or simply enjoying a summer evening while listening to Sinatra, George is truly comfortable in his own skin. Something which he uses to his advantage when driving his business. If you are looking for a straight razor shave and a great conversation, George is your guy. But be sure to block out enough time, with George, you can never run out of things to talk about.

“To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.” ― Aristotle In my short time in Real Estate I have seen a lot of people who do things the same way that they have always been done. Mainly, because that is what they have been taught from the time they got their license by coaches …
The Real Estate industry gurus try their best to create cookie-cutter agents who go with the flow and do things the same way as everyone else. It’s comfortable and safe and has worked for years. “Why make things harder for yourself? Stop trying to reinvent the wheel,” they say. “Make your cold-calls, knock on …

In this episode, I vamp on the idea of putting the REAL in real person. Authenticity and truth are your greatest weapon and your strongest attribute when trying to differentiate yourself from the competition. But forced authenticity is the exact opposite of authenticity. Be Yourself and live with the consequences. I’d rather be myself and sleep at night, than be what other people perceive as the model of success and professionalism.
