Oct. 26, 2006 - A Shameless Name Dropper

The wonder of it all my friends is that I never planned it this way. When I left The ERA office that I was affiliated with in the beginning of my real estate career the Broker there told me that my business was probably going to  fail. He offered to personally take me under his wing and teach me what it takes to be successful. Well Norb, I think I've done pretty good without that guidance. Thanks for the offer though.

Since changing offices I have been interviewed on the My Kind of Town radio program, I was featured in the Agent Snapshot of Chicago Agent magazine, and I was asked to review a book by June Fletcher (whom I forgot to give a link to, so here it is), who has a real estate column in The Wall Street Journal. My opinions and style have been mentioned on various real estate blogs throughout the land and I have successfully sold millions of dollars worth of real estate. Somewhere along the line I have become successful and knowledgeable enough that my opinion began to count.

After my post about June Fletcher's "House Poor" yesterday, I got an e-mail from my friend and neighbor Aimee DeBat (who was instrumental in introducing me to Chicago Agent Magazine). Aimee thought it was a small world because she has met June. That doesn't surprise me though, because Aimee's Dad is Publicist and Syndicated Real Estate Columnist Don DeBat. Aimee is a talented copy writer as well, and she has some really great layouts. How's that for shameless name dropping?

As always, if you have found yourself receiving my blog postings via e-mail, it is because I have either blogged about you personally, blogged about something I know is of interest to you, or I consider you to be a person of deep thinking and intellect and I would love to have you occasionally commenting on my blog. If you would like to be removed from the list simply send me an e-mail saying so.
