Since I wanted to be rich, I made real estate my vehicle to get there.If the internet had been around at that time or I was born a few years later, I probably would have gone into computers since that is a good way to become wealthy also.I'm glad I chose this business.

They do care about amenities (Internet, a deck w/ BBQ) and operating efficiency (limited budget).

About the only person I have heard of that says he is successful in "internet" only real estate is Larry Goins, who has written a book about it.

Social skills probably top the list, the ability to communicate effectively abstract consepts that apply to real estate dealings.

The relationship is professional, not social.

This is just like Social Security.

All that socialism has a price and I guess The Chosen One has chosen Eddie Ziv to pay the bill!

There is a website in which you can learn more about the business. www.cubicyard.usAlso there are internet groups that you can join and learn plenty of info.

Most MLS systems restrict real estate brokers and their agents, however, MLS access is becoming more open as internet sites offer the public the ability to view portions of MLS listings.

Josh,Just a guess, but I'm betting that the width of the menu system on the right hand side is set by this category: "Real Estate Technology and the Internet".I don't see the harm in having a line break before the word "and" there; it would make that sub-menu double in height - but so what.Or, shorten some of the wording, to something like this: "Real Estate Tech & the 'Net".Either of those would make the menu system narrower if my hunch is correct in how this is determined.
