Woe is me. I’m feeling rejected, ignored, and well, sorta “LOST.” Where and “When” the heck In the World is RE/MAX International?…. Denver? 1977? Here’s the thing. I’ve controlled “Twitter.Com/remax” for over a year now and I still haven’t received one email from somebody at International asking me to forfeit the identity. I expected they’d […]
I have been in Seattle in the late Summer, an idyllic time of year when it barely rains twenty inches a day and when the Banana Slugs start to think about snuggling up with you for warmth. I have been on Mount Rainier on Labor Day — playing in the snow. (People say “ray-near,” but […]

This is the official launch of SplendorQuest.com, the official first post. I’m cross-posting it at BloodhoundBlog, as well. Fair warning: This post is comprised of an extract from my novel, The Unfallen. After the “more” tag, you will be exposed to romantic fiction involving sexually playful adults engaged in actual life-like grown-up encounters. If you’re […]
What came out of last night’s Presidential debate? No matter who wins, we all lose. As painful as it might be to suffer a quick drop in housing values, followed by a recovery, we are in for a much more extended agony. Whether Obama wins in November or McCain, we’re in for an lengthy period […]

The Federal Reserve released it’s August statement yesterday and pundits are scrambling to interpret what was and (equally as important) wasn’t said. Financial market participants have a 10-15 year history of trying to “outguess” the FOMC and focus more on the commentary than the actual decisions. The result has been volatile market movements directly after […]

I found BloodHoundBlog by following a link from a comment Greg made on an Inman story that I had also commented on. It was pretty typical Inman fare — “Blog your way to a Fortune in Real Estate” was the implied headline. When I arrived here I felt like Dorothy waking up in her bed […]
When I was putting together TEAM ERIC for the Greatest Real Estate Agent in the World Contest, I was pretty specific in how I built the team. There was a reason that Greg Swann was on the team. There was a reason for EACH member. Many of the team members did not talk to each […]
Remember when Enron was still everyone’s darling? Remember when they were a high flying company that could do no wrong? Remember when AOL was high flying and had the audacity to buy Time Warner? Or even Bear Stearns? Kmart, Qwest, MCI/Worldcom, Lucent Technology, Arthur Andersen, all were at one time ‘highly regarded’ companies that lost […]
Have you even had an afternoon off (yeah right!), looked forward to some quiet reading time and been overwhelmed by the shelves full of thick novels, success books and hi-tech, how-to manuals? All you wanted was a light read and a glass of wine. BloodhoundBlog is sometimes a bit like that shelf. So much hi-tech content and cutting edge theory […]

Zillow Mortgage MarketPlace rang the opening bell and loan requests came flying in the door. I was pleasantly flabbergasted!

My comments at BusinessWeek: Brian Brady, […]
