    I work in a small town in Alabama, and attended the connect conference for the first time, last year in SF. It was the very best thing I could have ever done for myself & my business, for my whole approach to learning and improving my own business model here. To be immersed, physically, into the whole expererience, was truly phenomenal. I have many more miles to go, and am extremely disappointed to not be able to attend this year, but have already started saving for 2010. Attending every one is my ultimate goal! I'll be missing you all & will be tuned in to #ICFS. I am grateful for the continuos stream of inspiration and motivation for a better world of real estate!

    Teresa, I knew from the title that you'd be the author on this one, and, as always, enjoyed your writing. Your storytelling style is captivating (i.e. "engaging" but I am so tired of hearing this word that I've committed to using only synonyms from now on). This subject can't be talked about enough right now. It needs to be as frequent and recognizable as stop signs are on the roads. It will never be the 'same old story' because there will always be new readers & bloggers & speeding photofinderskeepers & plagiarizers needing to stop. Your pictures mash a thousand words and your words convey a high resolution picture. The world in public view, on public property, says "CHEESE!"

    By Mara HawksMay 4, 2009 - 4:04am

    Since I read about your switch to the boutique-type agency, I've been wondering about how much is involved with re-organizing online presence. It seems that many of the companies that take your listings, are really focused on the manipulation of the Realtor, not the consumer---although the front end picture seems to be presented as a strong attraction for the consumer. It keeps me wondering, too, what MLS is doing behind the scenes, while it appears on the front end that they are giving away lots of (highly paid for by Realtors) information for free. This topic will only get hotter, I'm sure, once it's better understood how many of our listed properties are going out to pasture. [BTW, I love the cow crossing...I just love cows and their stories and humor :-] all the best for the rest of your roundup.
