I love Elf. Great movie and arguably the best movie that Will Ferrell carried on his own. Wedding Crashers was great, as was Old School, but he wasn’t the star in those films. Anyway, I digress… I was thinking of that movie while viewing a competitor’s video where they took some major liberties with the [...]

Coldwell Banker Affordability Bracket
I love this time of year. It’s March Madness. Everyone’s filling out brackets, and so many college towns are brimming with anticipation.

Do You Trust your Brand?

What they knew and when they knew it is a big deal [...]
SciFi is Becoming a Real Estate Reality
Remember a few years ago when the “wired” home was a big selling point. It came ready with internet ports, multimedia stations, central hard drives in the basement and all the trimmings of tech goodness. Well, that’s so 2004. Welcome to a new decade where wireless rules and digital sharing of information in the home [...]
