Professional One Franchising

Earlier today, Chris Smith (@TechSavvyAgent), the co-founder of TechSavvyAgent.com, was named Chief Evangelist of Inman News, effective June 1. I will be writing more about this in the coming days, but a few hours ago we had the good fortune to be in the “right place at the right time” relative to when this story [...]

I spoke at RETechSouth (#RETSO) – a real estate technology conference held annually in Atlanta – a few days ago. The topic I spoke about was “Twitter Strategies for the Tech Savvy Real Estate Broker.” And I had an amazing time. If I can only attend one conference every year, it will be RETechSouth. It [...]

I recently attended Inman News’ (@InmanNews) Real Estate Connect New York. As I noted in a blog post that I wrote about that excellent event, an emerging technology that many felt was the highlight of the show was something called “Qwiki” (@Qwiki). Qwiki = A Million Words? Let me start by saying this: if it [...]

I just returned from a whirlwind trip to Inman News’ (@InmanNews) Real Estate Connect New York (#ICNY). Unfortunately, due to scheduling issues, my stay was far too brief and I missed out on connecting with many people I’d really hoped to see (Sherry, Nicole, Reggie, Marc, Joel…the list goes on), but, even with my admittedly [...]

I am not ashamed to admit it: I am a fan of the Material Girl. Part of it is home town pride: She grew up about 30 miles from where I went to high school and we’re about the same age. And she dated someone I once worked for (once, during her very brief stint [...]
