What is a patriot?
On 9/11 you often hear talk about patriotism and supporting troops and first responders. Much of the time these things are synonymous. You are a patriot by supporting the government, military, and establishment. I would suggest a slightly different definition of a patriot.

Many people think that distinguishing one word from another, when the meanings are similar, is just semantics and the user (or corrector) is being petty or too picky. I would disagree. Let’s compare just a few words that have been watered down due to […]

Managing Expectations
The single most important job I have in real estate is to manage expectations. Set them where they should be and then either meet or, hopefully, exceed them.
