Traveling and a BofA Fail

I’m in Seoul right now and today when I tried to withdraw cash with my Debit Card this afternoon at a Citi Bank ATM, I got an error that said contact your financial institution. No way to get money in a foreign country. Great. So I called BofA from Skype on my iPhone (which is an awesome app by the way). The representative I spoke with said their system is down until 5 am and to try back after that so they could help me. Great.

Over the course of the month and a half I was traveling the US, I got to spend time with so many fantastic people from the real estate industry. I had to chance to stop by MRealty’s Portland … Continue reading

Facebook Got Hacked?

Take a look at this screen shot from Facebook.com a few minutes ago – http://img.skitch.com/20100414-s4b1u26n4tppxtb8u6khtkh23.jpg Not sure what the issue was, but seems like the site is back up now.

Are You An Agent Looking to Figure out Your Web & Social Media Presence?

Are you a real estate professional just jumping into the social media and online world, and looking for some help navigating the waters? If that’s you, THIS is the opportunity for you. Seriously. It’s a “Real Estate Web Marketing” package on ebay including over $9,000 in VALUE that includes products and services from a range of companies and individuals that can help you understand and utilize the web to grow your business. Starting bid is only $500. And the best part — though it will cost you money, all the proceeds benefit Mothers Fighting for Others (the charity I just blogged about the other day) and help build an orphanage in Kenya; none of the … Continue reading
