Happy Fourth of July San Antonio!
July 4, 2010
Happy Fourth of July San Antonio! I hope you’re all having fun; BBQing, on vacation, at the pool, watching the fireworks, marching in parades – whatever you may be doing. Growing up in Philadelphia, the 4th of July was always a grand event and I’ve spent many years down by the [...]
Comment Spam and RErockstar.com
I never liked Spam.
I’m no fan of spam, the food stuff or the internet stuff. Recently, I’ve been noticing comment spam is on the rise on RErockstar.com. As I moderate all comments (mainly to keep spam from deluging the site), this isn’t too big of a deal, but I have noticed something new.

An Update On Where I Am At.
Where am I going?
Despite not being able to practice real estate for awhile, I have actually enjoyed my brief time away from it. I miss it like crazy (I really enjoy the work), but the time has been used to focus on the issues I mentioned, enjoy some time with my family (and I’m [...]
A personal post from me to you.
I wanted to let you know.
Last week, April 30th, was the renewal date for my state-issued real estate license. I thought long and hard about it and having some current personal issues that I am trying to juggle along with real estate, I decided not to renew it. Your first thoughts are probably, [...]
A day off…well sort of.
Happy Birthday!
Today is my wife’s birthday, so I’m taking the day off. Well, sort of. Obviously, I’m here blogging, but don’t fret – she’s out hiking with a friend this morning. I have a few things to work on, but after that, I’m going to unplug and enjoy the day with her. [...]
The A-Ha Factor of Community in the Social Media World
Community is more than just a way to say “where I live.”
The idea of community was around long before social media was even possible. Whether it was local town hall meetings, early computer bulletin board systems, or nomadic tribes bonding together for safety and security; community has always existed. It’s a place and [...]
Conviction, a goal, and a lesson in community.
A little something isn’t always little.
The woman to the left is a Realtor® from Delaware (which by the way, I have a terrible tendency to spell Del-E-ware). Her name is Maya and I know her through Twitter and some common acquaintances and friends. I know a lot of agents across the country and [...]
New Features at RErockstar.com
New toys to play with.

New ways to share – You’ll easily notice the icons at the bottom of each post and [...]
Need a few laughs? Check your local home listings.
I shouldn’t be laughing.
Paging through listings of homes for sale should be a rather serious matter, but sadly, it’s occasionally very funny. My friend Gwen Banta, a real estate agent in Los Angeles, often showcases some of the “best of the worst” she finds in her local MLS (Multiple Listing Service) as well as [...]
