Our means of communication in our businesses have evolved rapidly over the past 30 or 40 years.

We’ve gone from verbal communications, handshakes, and written documents, to all various and sundry forms of technology.

So which of these forms of communication are best? Are we to fear new technologies? Maybe a better question - Are the old and new ways mutually exclusive?

Check out my latest blog post about how human connection in the age of technology is still important in your real estate process! 🏡

Too much cash can be too much of a liability these days. Either in deposit in a bank, or sitting idle and being devalued by high inflation.

Though that just makes investing in real estate, which is tangible, and of which you can influence the value, that much more important.

Put your money to work on your own property! You can do this by expanding your portfolio, expanding your home, or remodeling rentals to achieve higher rents.

I’ve been a real estate analyst for nearly 50 years. I have experienced “irrational exuberance” periods and more than one or two tough downturns, the worst, of course, being in the period from 2007–2012.

Maybe a little nerdy, but the well-known business school Sigmoid graph shown below, says a lot about our real estate markets.

Think about it, do values constantly go up or improve with time?
