Local Experts. Incredible Interviews
Early in my management career I had a challenge. One of my employees had a very bad attitude. She criticized every decision I made with regards to growing our business.

We bought the tickets in the spring knowing we had an active summer planned and this would be the final epic event. Theresa and I over the last…
I’m an amazingly sensitive person, but not in a good way. Last year I had a client who is an investor. They bought a house, fixed it up, and asked me to market it and sell it. The house had a ton of activity and it went under contract fairly quickly for nearly full asking…
