Remembering LA Times reporter Dave Myers

The caller ID on my cell displayed the name of a friend of 30+ years who calls randomly, and I always answer. This time, the news was unfortunately sad.

I would have thought that we could have eliminated these challenges by now. After having completed my Sexual Harassment Prevention training myself just a couple of weeks ago, a program which is mandated by the state of California, it piqued my interest to find out how many states require sexual harassment prevention training. I was shocked to find out that only seven states (California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, New York, Washington) and the District of Columbia mandate sexual harassment training for some or all private sector employers and employees today.

Luxury Real Estate Begins with People and Ends with Brand

The DNA of a luxury brand is a set of characteristics and attributes that define its identity and set it apart from other brands. Luxury means that price does not matter; it’s more about aligning the customer with the treatment and lifestyle they want for themselves. Brands don’t do that; great agents do that.
