Nobody cares about you! Now that’s a bold statement, but it’s true most people only care about themselves and how they can solve their own problems.
Funny, just yesterday I was on one of my social sites where I am an admin and one of the questions posted by another admin was; “what can we the leadership do to help more people?” The response people came back with was “I only care about what you can do for me.” What a classic case and point.
Stop selling! and Start…

I don't have to tell you about the problems with our health care system. I know you know what is REALLY going on.
You know the statistics already.…

First-time homebuyers must close by Nov. 30 – contract not enough
WASHINGTON – April 24, 2009 – If first-time homebuyers wait until November

According to the National Association of Realtors, a “home is considered as
‘purchased’ when all…
