Anna Porter's blog

Mark Fleming, CoreLogic's Chief Economist, is not ready to break out the champagne and ticker tape but he sees some signs that 2012 could be the year that the housing market turns around--or rather, turns a corner...in a positive direction.

Received this wonderful note from Claudia Wicks, friend, colleague and former owner of Base RE Classes which are now part of PorterWorks since Claudia retired:

Claudia Wicks - Instructor Lifetime Achievement Award - 12.2.2011

I just wanted to say thank you for all of the response I have received. I am truly honored.

Okay. Unless you've been living under a rock (in which case you aren't doing much business anyway!) you have to have noticed a lot of talk about "green"--green building, green living, green products, etc.  It's now hard to imagine life before green.  But it should be clear that green is the direction every sector is heading so you've got two choices.
