The most influential factor in selling a home is always price. Don't build 'wiggle room' into the asking price. There's a price war out there and you have to win it from the get-go.

If you want to have a creative culture, you can't get it by reading books. You get it by example.

If a house is priced appropriately, make a bid 10 percent below that amount.

So many people are good at starts and not so good at finishing.

A whopping 89 percent of buyers start their home search online. How your house looks online is the modern equivalent of 'curb appeal.' Rent a wide-angle lens and good lighting, get rid of your clutter and post at least eight great photos to win the beauty contest.

I have found, whether you have a tiny business or a big business, if you don't jump on something right away, it's like a bird flying by-it flies off.

I've never had a really creative idea sitting at my desk. All the big ideas that made a difference happened when I was playing outside.
