Make Sure Social Media Is In Fact Social !

Imagine a blog about Social Media??? There are only millions of them. In fact I am sure any of you reading this are tired of hearing about it and we all cringe at the thought of someone being classified as a "social media guru".

If you are thinking about putting your house on the ...

It's the terrain of the unremarkable-the realm of the safe middle ground. But while "average" is by its very definition nothing to brag about, it does have its place in our world. It shows us the big picture. It reminds us where we stand, right?  Well, to ...

How Will I Ever Find Real Estate Without The Newspaper ?

Recently many of the Brokers in PEI discussed issues within the PEI Real Estate industry and one main topic was the continued use of print media. In the 1980's the brokers got together to do a co operative tabloid real estate supplement within the PEI Newspaper "The Guardian".
