Why Craigslist Needs to Raise Their Fees – at Least for Real Estate

By Patrick Healy May 18, 2012

So I have a lot of friends that are real estate professionals – and by professionals I MEAN professionals. These people pride themselves on their work and reputations which – I have learned – is really all you have in this business.  It really bothers me that, as a whole, real estate people are not highly regarded.

Disruptive Business: Avoid Becoming a Casualty of Progress

By Patrick Healy March 16, 2012

They say there’s such a thing as being too good at your job. Well, this is a post about just that. From time to time, there are companies that come around and are so good that they can destroy a market and/or even mess with other semi-related businesses. This isn’t necessarily a good or bad thing.
