Have you noticed that the older you get, the less time you seem to have? Looking back, it seems like when I was younger, I had all the time in the world. Now, every year older I get, I struggle more and more to balance everything I need to attend to. Have you experienced this
There’s a great story out of New Hampshire about a lady who bought a painting at a thrift shop for four bucks. She hung it on her wall for a while then stored it in a closet. But then something unexpected happened. Someone noticed it in the background in a picture she posted on facebook.
Working probate, you run into all sorts of problems and obstacles you need to help your seller overcome. But there are some problems that are beyond what even I can help with. I read an article this weekend about a lady in Atlanta named Susan Hodgson. While she was out of town on vacation, a
I told you earlier this week about my experience buying a new car. We’re loving our new Honda Pilot, but that meant we had to say goodbye to the Cadillac Escalade that has served us so well over the years. So when the time came to sell, I decided to check out CarMax. I wasn’t

Ok, I feel a little guilty about that headline. Can you automate probate real estate with a bunch of fancy software and AI? Sure you can. But it’s most likely not going to get you the results you hoped for. Now don’t get me wrong – there’s a place for automation and AI. You should
This past Saturday, My son, Ernie, and I went to a friend’s house to watch the big Davis vs. Garcia fight. I do like combat sports. I love watching Ernie during his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitions, but boxing will always have a special place in my heart. Although Garcia came out strong in the first
