Renegade Professional is a group and I subscribe to one of their newsletters. Is Attraction Marketing Effective? Try A New Approach! « Renegade Professional News This article speaks to selling the dream.

When I bought my house I represented myself. I paid full asking price.... Buying a home is an emotional thing, I shouldn't have represented myself, I wanted the house! A buyer's agent could have distanced me from the negotiations and might have worked out a better deal.

REALTORS® CONFERENCE & EXPO - videovote (The National Association of REALTORS®)

Why go to NARdiGras this year in New Orleans? See what these five winners of the video contest have to say in their home/video casts that could be titled, "Why I want to go to NARdiGras in 2010" REALTORS® CONFERENCE & EXPO - videovote (The National Association of REALTORS®)

Even with all of her enthusiasm, you know, she's wasting a her time, energy, and effort, by not targeting her market. I think the speakers at NARdiGras can help her with that. Don't you?
