Let’s get dynamic, shall we? There are a lot of things you can say about PHP — and some of them are even safe for work. But, at bottom, PHP is a working stiff’s programming language for producing dynamic web pages. What’s a dynamic web page? It’s a page that reflects a user’s actions or […]

We’re doing it because we believe in what we do and seem to share a collective passion.As Greg said earlier this year -My immediate goal for BloodhoundBlog is to make it the best-read, most-rewarding real estate weblog in the RE.net. Further out, I want for our contributors to be so well known that they can pursue other opportunities: Public speaking, freelance writing, books, seminars, television shows, etc. I don’t know that we will attain this, necessarily, but the goal itself is definitely attainable: Witness Glenn Reynolds, the Instapundit.For now, I’m interested in growing our talents to see where they can take us. I think we benefit each other more together than we would apart …At least six Bloodhounds are speaking at Inman Connect in January; if that’s not a form of acceptance, I don’t know what is…. In response to a recent email – the people in Chicago are reaching out; the RE.net is too large and influential to be ignored.The vast majority of consumers don’t care about what we talk about here; they care about the price of their respective homes and how they can buy or sell better – be it more efficiently, cheaper, faster …… (I have argued before that if you need 8 pages to explain ethics, rather than a simple code of honor, you just might need too much guidance).To answer Jeff’s question from a recent comment – this is how we give out samples, but we do it to other professionals.
Take a look at this map: That’s the route from my home, in North Central Phoenix, to Johnson’s Ranch, a master-planned community in Queen Creek, AZ. The distance is 55 miles by the odometer, but travel time is more like two hours. It’s a brutal, awful trip, over two-lane roads for the last third of […]
I’m a busy boy. We’re busy with money work, but Cathleen has been sick, sicker, pneumoniated. The good news is, you don’t have to cut off your ear to take great pictures, you just have to hack like Selma on the Simpsons. I’m picking up the slack, plus I have a great new idea for […]
I imagine that many of the readers of this blog are bloggers themselves; who in their daily perusal of the blogosphere for inspiration and news land here as a reliant destination for intellectual discussion of the issues at the fore of our industry. If I’ve got the readership pegged then I will assume that most […]
Okay, start here. I had an idea for an organic method of collecting arguments, pro and con, about divorcing real estate commissions. Using a PHP form, I could collect user-submitted links to apposite articles, then show them all in an “included” PHP file in each post about divorced commissions. That PHP file would be available […]
…is up at Sadie’s Take on Delaware Ohio. Host Toby Boyce does a truly amazingly phenomenal job as judge — and I’m not just saying that because our own Jeff Kempe won with The Imperative of Divorced Commissions, Part 2: The Inherent Value of Free. Toby used the idea of a golf tournament as his […]
I am a hardliner on the subject of reform in the real estate industry. Over the last nine months, I have written at great length about, among other things, the skill-set required to survive in the future of full-service real estate, empowering buyers, dual agency, how the NAR makes war on the free enterprise system, […]

You know how it is. The NAR had to get itself sued to death first. Inasmuch as nothing is actually changing – adamantly, nothing – that works out to be a decent deal. Rotting giants fall hard, but sic semper tyrannosauris, as we have said all along. Here’s what’s what: Starting in 2006 or so, […]

“I just showed three houses this week, out in L******, and all of them had 2% co-brokerage fees. Learn to sell, listing agents” I read this post (paraphrased), from a former car salesman with a Florida real estate license, in a Facebook group the other day. The irony of it was too delicious to pass […]
Teri Lussier pointed this out to me last week, and I’ve been waiting since then for someone to plumb the implications. Ah, well, when there’s constabulary work to be done… Here’s the news: The state of California is making ZipRealty pay it agents minimum wage for their time. That’s huge. It’s just the thin edge […]
Q: “Oh, dear! An NAR committee I am very proud to brag about belonging to is composed of clueless idiots. Whatever shall I do?” A: Ahem. I swear I’m not making this shit up. Witness: “It’s time to do something different.” Jeesh… (H/T Linda Davis.)
This is me writing in June of 2007. Someone linked to it from Twitter yesterday, and I read it for the first time in years. The argument holds up — there has never been any attempt at rigorous refutation — but it’s even more interesting now that America has discovered what Sarah Palin and others […]
Let’s start with some music, just to set the mood: So: If you run in the wrong circles, these are the kind of “arguments” you can expect to hear about me: Greg Swann is mean. Greg Swann is rude. Greg Swann is vulgar. Greg Swann is angry. Greg Swann is cynical. Here is an argument […]
