Clint Miller: Friend, Mentor, and All Around Good Guy
Mourning the loss of a great man. Many of you may remember me talking about Clint Miller here or on Twitter and Facebook. A good friend, who I know through social media, Clint passed away on December 11, 2011 after a hard fought battle with cancer. Clint never once seemed daunted by the fight and [...]
Why do real estate agents blog?
Why do we do what we do? As I make my transition to my new role at Becker Properties, I’ve been encouraging agents to spend more time thinking about blogging (and social media). Asking them the question, “what do you want to get out of it?” As with all things, this set me on my [...]
“Hockey Night in San Antonio” at Freetail Brewing
Hockey Rules! Our good friends at Freetail Brewing have always been good to us, but after Game One of the Stanley Cup 2011 Finals (Boston Bruins vs. Vancouver Canucks) we have decided to salute them once again for their tireless efforts at being one of San Antonio’s best places to relax and have a cold [...]
Memorial Day and My Heroes
Thanks to my heroes. You may not recognize the three men (well two men, one boy) in the photo, but (from left to right) that’s me, my dad, and my brother. Despite the fact that I’m a lot younger in the photo, I remember this photo being taken. As it’s Memorial Day, I thought I’d [...]
My thoughts on yesterday’s news.
May 2, 2011 I had a busy day yesterday. In addition to my work, I had a lot on my mind as I read the news about the death of Osama bin Laden. I wanted to write something all day, but just couldn’t seem to find the words and now as I sit here, I’m [...]
24 seconds is all it takes.

The recent news coming from his wife (and him) has been nothing short of amazing and we’ve all been thankful to see his progress. None of us ever doubted for a moment that Clint would stay strong [...]

Up until yesterday, I had never heard of The Lones Group (much like Jay Thompson, I refuse to link to them). Some of you might not know Daniel, but he is know amongst real [...]
Making RErockstar.com easier on the eyes.
Condensing the format. I’ve tried to decide whether or not to make the front page of the blog more short and concise for you, the readers. Sometimes, blog posts get lost on the front page because of the length of the other posts that precede them. In an effort to make the front page more [...]
Happy Holidays – A Gift From RErockstar.com
Everyone Loves Presents. I wish I could be like Oprah and give everyone a brand new car, but I haven’t reached her heights (yet). In the giving spirit of the holiday season, I wanted to give you all a great gift, but didn’t know what size you wore. Plus, I know you’ll never wear the [...]
Moses Jewelers in Stone Oak
Hidden Gem in Stone Oak All puns aside, I recently stopped by Moses Jewelers off of Stone Oak Parkway in San Antonio (map) and was looking to get a few items appraised. I don’t do a lot of jewelry shopping (after being robbed I’ve sworn off ever buying expensive jewelry ever again), so on the [...]
