I embarked on my real estate journey precisely 38 years ago on April 1st. (And yes, I began this venture at the tender age of 9) In 1986, the landscape of the real estate business was vastly different; no voice mail, no fax machines, no laptops, no MLS database, no Internet, and certainly no GPS. … Continue reading Change is Everywhere
Occasionally, I find myself thrust into situations where the path forward isn’t clear. The right course of action remains elusive, and everything seems to fade into various blurry shades of gray.
