It’s Here – The “Frunk” and I Want One!
Thanks for all the comments on this post – wow. I need to share something with you. I’m gonna be transparent about that post. When I wrote it, I was in a rush to get it out. And when I reread it my critical voice said “umm, it’s ok, it will pass, but it’s not your best work you know…” And on and on that voice in my head went. Good thing I sent the post out anyway! So I’m thinking I need to give that voice a sabbatical and keep on writing to you! (Hope that works! 😉 This week – I want to share with you some really…

The ONE thing Barbara Corcoran did that changed her trajectory in real estate
I heard an interesting story this morning and wanted to share it with you. It’s about Barbara Corcoran and how she got her first break in real estate. I loved not only her tenacity and grit but also how she really “got” what her dream client felt was important in an apartment in NYC. It’s when she was first starting out as a secretary at a real estate agency. She had asked the owner if he would give her an apartment to list so she could get some experience. So, of course, being green, he gave her the most difficult apartment to sell. It was a third-floor walk-up, not a…
