Auburn Alabama Area Real Estate Living

This photo was sent to me by Tristan Hawks (my son) who was doing a land study in the Mojave Desert.  The fact that this lizard was spotted and photographed, will prevent land development in this region, as this fringe-toed lizard is registered as an endangered species, native to this region near Coachella Valley. It's called fringe-toed because its feet appear to be fringed (you'll have to look closely).

Let's talk about an attention grabber--- BUG! Realty made a smashing debut during the INMAN Connect days last month, getting well-deserved press with their innovative marketing approach for real estate as they intoduced their mobile office! Fututistic? Ahead of it's time? NOT BY MUCH if you've been listening, if you're tuned in to the marketplace turning into all things mobile, then you'll grasp the brilliance of this moveable BUG! on wheels for deals in real estate. Isn't this the kind of creative genius needed for our times?  Innovation & excitement filled the hall with cutting-edge vendors, but the BUG! REALTY corner was spotted everywhere--- on the bridge, in the streets, in the hands of many who donned their bright, red carry bags (oh so cute!). In another magical moment of my conference week, I was lucky enough to drive one of these simple, beautiful bugs down the coast, from San Francisco to my final destination near San Diego, in an adventurous effort to get at least one of their fleet back home from the show. It was so much fun, and, I quickly learned, was a quick conversation starter for other agents & curious buyers on the road. I'd made some wonderful BUG! friends---Allen McKay, Chris Siow, Kirk Gregor & his brilliant assistant, Marketing & Media dynamo, Jana Perry --- all Riders on the Storm of Real Estate) that banded together when founder, president & CEO Kevin Seney developed the idea of a "brickless business" In his own PRESSED words, Kevin explains: "
