Would Ken or others be willing to take a peek at our blog and offer a critique? We used to do critiques in art school. We learned a lot very quickly this way.

Our company does residential remodeling in the metro Philadelphia area. Our business has cycles and issues similar to yours. We started blogging only recently.

Congratulations on your award Ken. Your blog is a good read and looks good too.

Ken ... thanks for this article ... and recommend that Realtor agents Deepen trust, Magnetize and fortify how you’re positively perceived, Evaluate and recreate what messages you whisper and yodel, Shun the lame language of Ad Speak and hug the Language of Intimacy, and Deliver thicker, juicier, irresistible services (remember, we live in an experience/theatre economy). Good stuff. Harrison

Another item to add to the list is to "consider" the purchase carefully along with the would-be buyers. As agents, though we have a fiduciary duty to our clients, we're not really supposed to step beyond the line of being an agent. Still, it can't hurt to discuss what Sexton is calling a "considered purchase" with a client, even if that means indicating that you DON'T think they should buy a new house at that time. Odd approach, I know...kind of "Jerry McGuire meets real estate brokerage." But hey, odd times call for odd measures and, really, I don't want to sell a house to someone who shouldn't be buying it. Of course, I'm not meeting too many people looking to jump into a real estate purchase headfirst lately anyway...but I digress.

I googled the quote above to see who deserves credit for it and there was no Author. So I hereby proclaim that Ken Brand Authored and owns that quote!

Good blog, things will change when perception of all parties involved changes.
