Time to dust off your finest gowns and your bespoke-iest suits, because the Agents’ Choice Awards have arrived. Everyone says it’s an honor just to be nominated, but the only people who say that are the ones who go

Hey folks, it’s that time of year again where we bust out the calculators and the pocket protectors to bring the scoop on lending. Lenders are the ones that send me the best holiday presents, so I do my

Guess who’s back, back again. X is back, tell your friends. That song reference may have gone over some heads, but who cares, because due to high demand, I’M BACK! Dry those tears, because you’ll never be out of

Have you read the case study under “Keeping It Legal” in the cover story (page 13)? All I can say is that around the time in question, Mary did knit me a fabulous scarf. Forget it Diane, you can’t

I don’t try to be a party-hopping, schmoozing, agent in the biz. That’s just the card I was dealt. I can’t help that I’m fun. I can’t help that people invite me places, or that people want to give

I was a managing broker once. Don’t look so surprised, it’s clear I have a way with people and so I decided to give running an office a try. A week later, I realized that I actually have to

I’m an old school kind of Agent X. I like my Wu Tang Clan, Bob Dylan and my standard sales transactions. I resisted all that new fangled stuff like short sales and REOs for as long as I could.

Once again, I was shut out of the Agents’ Choice Awards. Neither Agent X nor my true identity were chosen as nominees. I tried to flood the system to win the MVP, but then I was informed that CA

Let’s be honest, the lending side of the industry is pretty much a snooze. However, I must say that lenders know how to party! Every time I go to an event I know that at least three or four

The powers that be insisted that I have a website and Facebook page. Here’s the thing, I already have both! I’m a high-profile agent in Northern Illinois, of COURSE I’m online everywhere, I just can’t show them to you
