Veterans' Day * November 11, 2008
Veterans' Day is a day to HONOR our HEROES who put their lives on the line to protect our Nation.
Please join me in Thanking a Veteran during this day of remembrance and tribute.
It's the right thing to do, and not enough of us do this as often as we should.
To all who have served this greatest of Nations - I sincerely Thank YOU for your commitment and sacrifice - on behalf of myself and my family. -Tim Mancuso
If I knew how to place a 'poll' into this post, I would do so.
However, so far it's been a bit too hairy and I've resolved to get the question out there 'old school'.
Blackberry vs. Palm vs. iPhone - Which do you choose, and why?
Post your choice and your reason below as a comment, and let's see who the winner is.
FYI: rumor has it that the money is on Blackberry for this one. I personally was in another meeting just this week when that familiar 'default' Blackberry 'ring' was going and no less than 4 people reached for their curves (Blackberry curves, that is... ).
Personally, I haven't yet invested in the iPhone, my work phone is a Blackberry, and my personal favorite was always the Palm - although I haven't used nor seen one around for quite a while, and the last model I did check out (Centro) had such limited memory it was essentially pointless as a business / contact managing PDA device in the real world.
I look forward to hearing from the experts! (You!)
-Tim Mancuso
I just wanted to take a minute to remember all the agents that have 'left the business'.
Add to that all of the mortgage lenders, title reps, inspectors, appraisers, - you name it - that are no longer able to offer us their excellent services and assistance.
It's bittersweet to still be here working productively in the Real Estate - there are many many talented business people that simply can not afford to offer their services given this economy.
I know far too many people that have gone back to previous industries just to support their families, replace income lost by a laid-off spouse or family member, or have simply pulled way back in order to weather the current economic 'storms'.
It may sound odd, but I'm quite serious when I say that I miss my friends and associates from years back. Going through my rolodex (I know, I know, old-school...) and stacks of cards I see the faces and the brands of some of the most wonderful people you could ever hope to work with.
In Michigan for example, I personally estimate that as many as 2 out of 5 people in this industry (in my contact / referral lists) are no longer in the business.
That's a MASSIVE shift!
So here is to everyone - us, and them - let's remember that we are truly blessed to be working, and doubly blessed to be working in Real Estate serving the needs, goals, and dreams of our fellow countrymen (and women) every day.
Here here!

If you have NEVER seen the Linkedin Wizard, here is your chance! -You'll have to hurry though, he's only online for another hour or so - I think he's off at 8pm PT today.
Seriously! Check it out here and you'll FINALLY get to see the famous Wizard of Linkedin.com! Here's that link: Linkedin.com Wizard
Now, many people have mistakenly called your truly the 'wizard of Linkedin' in the past, however I always set them straight and tell them that I'm just an avid user and fan of Linkedin, and by no means a 'Wizard'.
By the way - if you'd like to connect with me there (on linkedin.com), I'd be glad to do what I can to help you grow
your business - here's my profile page: Join My Network on Linkedin
You'll probably have to wait until the wizard is gone to connect with me there - use my work email address (or whichever you may have for me) tmancuso
Well, that's it - I'm off to see the wizard....

I have been working with Realtors, Mortgage Lenders, Title Companies, and Technology Providers for over 10 years in the Real Estate marketplace. My industry experience includes Virtual Tours and Imaging, bamboo.com, iPIX, Homestore, Realtor.com, Top Producer, ImageMaker360, TMS Systems, IDX, VOW, ILD, MLS Data integration, Broker and Agent Website, Lead Capture, Lead Distribution, Lead Qualification, Lead Scrubbing, Call Center, Call Capture, Print and Online Marketing, Training, Coaching, Selling, Recruiting and everything in between.
I will be using this venue to showcase fellow Industry Experts, Professional Agents (I've worked with Thousands over the years), Innovators, Coaches, Trainers, and Advocates of the Industry.
Key industry highlights we are recently consulting and working with include: Mortgage Modification (Loan Mod) Companies, 1031 Exchange strategies, Short Sale systems and shortsales programs for REALTORS(r), Automated print and electronic marketing tools to reach out to today's savvy real estate consumer, all things imaging in real estate (virtual tours, video, streaming audio, podcasting, radio and cable opportunities and WiFiTV options), and also the emergence of diverse people groups and their impact on North American / US Real Estate markets and practices (diversity).
***************************************************************
I have served as Co-Founder and VP Global Sales for an International Real Estate Marketing Portal: MyREALTY.com, Inc. For more information on MyREALTY.com please visit the website:
I currently work as District Manager for LandAmerica Financial, Inc. in the Denver, CO metro market area.
Additionally, I continue to network and consult with my extensive sphere of startup, technologists, IT professionals, and top shelf marketers both within and outside of the Real Estate verticals.
Upcoming opportunities for expansion have a very positive outlook given the current economic environments worldwide. Companies and technologies today are valued at pennies on the dollar as compared to prior years - or even 9-12 months ago - opening up doors for acquisitions, mergers, and partnerships the likes of which we haven't seen since the bubble burst in the Valley 7 years ago.
If you need any assistance related to Real Estate, Mortgage, Loan Modifications, Short Sales, Title / Settlement Services, or Technology / Marketing - you are welcome to contact me at your convenience. My network of professionals has allowed me to assist countless Agents, Brokers, Loan Officers, Managers, Owners, Franchises, MLSs, Boards, and even local authorities over the years.
I am more than happy to assist in any way I can, and it brings me great satisfaction and joy to be able to leverage my experience and background to help others achieve their needs, wants, goals, and desires.
In my quote above, you'll find 3 key ingredients of my current company's recipe for success - LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc. is one of the finest real estate services companies worldwide. Their expertise and service levels on both the N. American and International fronts was a driving force in my alignment and employment with LandAmerica in Denver, CO.
My role in assisting in the successful implementation of LandAmerica's 'New Frontier' business model in the Denver, CO real estate market was both exciting and rewarding - and in fact, more fun that I've had in years. :-)
I am currently available for contract and project work, consultation, web and marketing strategies both on and offline.
