A lot of Agents are waiting for a new home to come on the market and they show yours, and if they do not like it, they move on. So they had better price it right. What do you think?

I felt good about attending in a city that needs support from fellow Americans. We enjoyed the conference very much. My wife attended the management sessions, while I attended the Agent classes. The past day, we toured the entire city and observed the destruction. It takes so many years to build out from neighborhood to neighborhood. In my opinion, it will take at least 10 years for the city to return to most of it's original glory. Does anyone think any differently? After Karina, many families moved to Oklahoma City. I feel very badly about what happened to the Big Easy. How do we help rebuild the city, with some much damage?

In our industry that number is even higher with 77% of consumers going online, but we spend far less than 6%. There is an opportunity to reach the consumer online with the right message that’s untapped. Thats a great quote Rouda on internet ads: 34% of all media consumption is on the Internet, but only 6% of all ad spending. In our industry that number is even higher with 77% of consumers going online, but we spend far less than 6%. There is an opportunity to reach the consumer online with the right message that’s untapped.

Thats a great quote
