About No Agent Needed: The Hottest Tips, Tricks, and Hacks from Rockstar Real Estate Investors That Anyone Can Use to Sell Their Properties Fast and for Top Dollar without a Real Estate Agent by Matt Theriault

Have you been pondering the idea of selling a property? Thinking about how you might be able to sell it fast while maximizing the profit doing it yourself? How difficult could it be? Like, it’s not rocket science, right? LOL! Nope, it’s not. However, experience selling “for sale by owner (fsbo)” has its benefits.

With today’s technology and advancement, transacting real estate can be pretty simple. There are many different services available, whether marketing services, fulfillment services, or transaction services that can empower the average person to sell their house in a relatively short period of time for a top of the market price—so much so that a private seller such as yourself could potentially reach a detrimental level of “over” confidence in the process. Technology is great and it has its place and value, but it’s still a “people business” and the number of people involved in a real estate transaction can introduce a seemingly countless number of variables that all the technology in the world couldn’t ever expect to prepare you for.

About Point and Shoot for Your Life by Robin Murphy

Point and Shoot for Your life by Robin Murphy is a tale of mystery and suspense. Hannah Mills, local photographer, is struggling for work and to pay her rent. Great-Aunt Dorothy comes to the rescue from beyond the grave after she leaves Hannah a First Phase Indian Chief Navajo blanket, a very rare item worth at least a million dollars. That kind of money would set Hannah up for life. But, before she can take it to auction, her niece is kidnapped and a ransom demanded – the blanket. Hannah has to go to France to get her niece back, but she has no money to get there until she robs a bank. Arrested for the crime as she makes the drop in Paris, Hannah isn’t going quietly and she drags FBI agent Finn MacNally along with her for the ride. Can they find Mandy before it’s too late? Can they really win a fight against the biggest Russian human and drug trafficking ring or will their luck run out at the last minute?

Point and Shoot for Your Life by Robin Murphy is a funny book. A mixture of humor, murder, mystery, suspense and romance, it has all the ingredients of a rollicking good read and it delivered all it promised. I found myself laughing, cringing, and holding my breath at different points during the story as I hung on for the ride. This is a book with no let-up; it starts on a high and just keeps on going, action all the way. The plot was very clever, brilliantly written, and the characters really fitted the bill. This is a story that will leave you breathless and, by the time the end arrives, worn out and ready to let go. Really great story, well-written and good fun to read. Would love to see more of this.

King Alfred of Great Britain believes a king should rule his country rather than merely enjoy the good life in the palace.

Army private Jimmy deals with the fallout to the common man of the sweeping changes wrought upon his country, as a civil war breaks out between the King’s supporters and everyone else.

But could even a wise King have foreseen the international opposition to his plan as he incurs the wrath of the mighty US president?

A incredible saga of global proportions which will grip you until the last page.

About Beyond The Technology Traps by Mark P. Dangelo

Financial Services and Banking Organizations (#FSBO’s) are ill-prepared to compete effectively in markets dominated by virtualization, social purpose and rapid innovation—they are architected and regulated for an out-of-date consumer narrative.

#FSBO’s are remnants of banking cultures that demanded a customer “come to see us” for services, rather than today’s reality of “how can we serve you.” For decades, traditional #FSBO’s failed to adapt to consumer behaviors and technological advances, which rendered their business models and service approaches obsolete. As a new generation of startups (e.g., FinTech) rise to serve all market segments—affluent, underbanked, Millennials, Gen X & Y—those dogmatic financial brands hiding behind regulators and protectionist barriers will fail. Yet, gratuitous technology deployment won’t singularly solve #FSBO’s core challenges as they wrestle with consumers and regulators.

In Beyond the Technology Traps, Mark and Rick, using their over 60 years of experience, explore the challenges facing #FSBO’s now and in the future, adhering to Mark Twain’s saying of “What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know. It’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so.” For #FSBO’s and their tweeting CEO’s, they need a holistic set of principles and frameworks to adapt—or they will perish.

Mark Twain stated, “What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know. It’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so.” Today, this is where Financial Services and Banking Organizations (#FSBO’s) find themselves. Stated differently and more bluntly, a friend of ours, in reference to #FSBO’s said, “No one is really doing anything that is innovative unless they are ‘forced’ to by the market—it a fear of eminent death.” Why? There are too many traps. Too much can go wrong and end a career.

There are many #FSBO leaders who cling to axioms that have long since expired—unable or unwilling to see the vast changes taking place from consumers to technology to widespread commoditization all within one of the most regulated industries in the world. It should be noted right up front, this is a primary reason why we have shied away from the term “banks” in favor of #FSBO, as to achieve the latter definition, and one which we believe will dominate traditional banking, will demand material changes to business models, methods of delivery, markets, personnel, and of course, technology.

Before the Great Recession of 2008, we knew the breadth and depth of #FSBO staff and partners surrounding all aspects of financial products and services would create a new utopia of leverage and profits. Before the recession, we knew investments would appreciate with little downside risks. Before the recession, we knew the safeness and soundness of the financial systems—global and domestic—were unshakable and would never come into question. Before the recession, we knew many things for sure—but that is what got our stoic #FSBO’s into trouble, and in the process taking the Davos celebrities off a cliff of their own making.

It was a revisiting of this popular Mark Twain (i.e., Samuel Langhorne Clemens) quote that ushered in the spark for this book and became its theme for looking at #FSBO’s and their operations in a world that was no longer of their design. For you see, their design (and operating beliefs) changed little from the mid-1960’s even with progressive adjustments in technology, processes and regulations. What was substantially missed was the consumer changes and attitudes toward #FSBO’s especially as empowerment in purchasing, social interactions and brand voice rose beyond the brick and mortar of the once valued branch.

When this book was just a series of collaborative emails and texts between two people, the idea that an iterative book series could be created about changing #FSBO business models seemed at best, far-fetched. Many said, even a few individuals in their 80’s, that non-fictional textbooks are dead—passed into history like Myspace, the flip phone, Invader Zim, and a single purpose mobile app. In short, it was something no one would ever read.

It appeared, when we started this effort with a Tweeting POTUS in the Oval Office, our success at creating a concise, easy read, deep-dive set of constructive analysis and potential high-level recommendations for #FSBO’s was not advisable. We noted that there were vast numbers of daily articles, short bursts, and non-vetted blogs that filled content needs at the push of a button or a voice request (and now 2-way video) via Alexa.

However, when dealing with highly complex and uncertain regulations along with an evolving customer base, which consistently ranks #FSBO’s at the bottom when compared to other industries, we asked the obvious question, “Why are #FSBO’s, nearly a decade after the Great Recession, not resonating with any of the generational demographics below the aging Baby Boomers?” Indeed, research to answer this subject yielded many more questions surrounding market disintermediation, commoditization of offerings, regulatory challenges, digitization complexity, personnel and operating structures and additional topics summarized in the following Introduction.

We also constructed the content of this book in a collaborative and iterative process—we wrote only after reviewing numerous topical questions, orchestrated and taped conversations, and finally developed visual diagrams and tables to wrap complex points into understandable concepts.

What resulted at the end of this atypical build process was a tightly coupled starting point for a book, which reflects our nearly 60 years of “operating without a net.” You will find the general text conversational, as if two industry personnel were having a working lunch trying to determine what’s next, why is our current state waning, where are the opportunities, and what should we be doing to prepare ourselves and the enterprises for which we work?

Additionally, this book was not designed to be another War and Peace—we worked to create less than 80,000 words. Whereas, many business books create deep dives into topics ranging from the use of cloud computing to settlements to organizational processes, we chose to construct this conversational artifact (which is how we wrote it as a P2P dialogue) to be broad and cohesive. The reason was simple—too often writers and researchers concentrate on details without ever framing the drivers and wide-ranging changes taking place across #FSBO’s.

This is not to say that we don’t provide solutions, or at the very least, the next steps #FSBO’s must take if they hope to evolve and meet the needs of this new market. We take stock of the situation along many operational lines in the first half of the book, and then look for solutions to the identified problems in the second.

And for those readers who crave more, and to demonstrate that what we are saying has efficacy for the emerging #FSBO’s beyond the traditional B&M (brick and mortar), we have made use of “call-out” boxes throughout the chapters to reinforce our points, offer a different perspective, or to provide “A Deeper Dive” into a supporting theme. These callouts can be skipped for a less involved and faster reading of the text, but we feel they offer the best opportunity to touch on the more complex and necessary challenges that organizations will be required to undertake.

It’s worth noting, that while many business, economic and strategy books dive right into the need for technology to transform or morph a #FSBO, we believe that these taxonomies of discrete solutions are just a means to an end. This book is not singularly about technology or the next “killer app” that will make your institution “the best”. There are enough of those to start a library like self-help themes or diet books. This book is not about the latest fads—it is a holistic and lasting series of principles and frameworks that cut across today’s innovations allowing for continual adaptation rather than a flash-in-the-pan or advocating a technology trap.

There are many a failed institution or initiative that have superior technological innovations and market facing benefits—but they failed for lack of an understanding how they served the business, and not how the business served them. It’s not to say we won’t discuss these topics in callout boxes or in the main text itself, but these popular themes—cloud delivery, machine learning, distributed ledger, cryptocurrencies, and even predatory #FSBO’s (i.e., FinTech)—are not the answer, they are part of the solution, not an end state to be reached and a box checked off.

Lastly, at the end of each of the ten chapters, you will find suggested priorities or challenges that most #FSBO’s should consider—think of it as important take-aways. Each of the illustrative priorities, ranked from one to three, are addressed using the “four-V’s” mentioned in the introduction and referenced throughout the chapters. A more complete discussion of the four-V’s can be found in Appendix B. Like the call-out boxes, these lists are provided for those seeking a path-forward and potential scope boundary for various programs-of-work.

By providing a stake-in-the-ground with this book, we set a holistic framework through which #FSBO’s can respond to the marketplace revolution brought forth by regulations, FinTech, private secondary markets, and younger consumer segments more focused on social responsibility than profits or brands. After having spent our entire careers in #FSBO technology, c-level management, and back-office environments, we recognize the need moving forward beyond the technology utopias envisioned by architects and solution providers into a world that will be highly transitory especially when it comes to consumer technology.

To promote a little bit of levity, each section will be preceded with a cartoon about the contents to follow. After all, if we can’t jest about our challenges we just might succumb to the massive amount of movement taking place through all channels of provisioning and delivery. As this initial scene portrays, it will take considerable deliberations and hard work to achieve our strategy shifts as, we are sorry to say, we don’t live in a magical world.

And stating the obvious, but to be clear to you as a reader seeking directions, not all the answers are in this discussion—no matter how much we edit. We have provided the foundations and frameworks to move forward, while avoiding common traps, but the totality of and complexity of the #FSBO world is vast, and no single prescription will cure all ills.

About Welcome to Parkview

“Welcome To Parkview” reads the rusted sign along the outskirts of town. The tarnishing letters seem inviting, yet foreboding and mysterious. Is passing through such a wise idea?

The final destination may be more dangerous than the trip itself—an unapologetic journey through a town that thrives on sex, violence, and the macabre. A place built on deceit and temptation. A spot forever cursed with soulless transients, unforgiving lovers, and merciless vampires who hide in the shadows beyond.

The façade is peeled back just enough for you to see past its surface. There’s but a glimpse of the darkness that put Parkview on the map. Then you realize that nothing here is a coincidence. In Parkview, it may be best to keep buried secrets quiet.

In Parkview, even truth can be a deception.

About The Wolf and the Rain

An anarchic city. A soldier with an ugly past. The missing girl she won’t give up on.

Global warming has divided the continent. In the drought-stricken South where the populace is as barren as the land, an authoritarian government promises comfort if not freedom. To the north is anarchy. Devastated again and again by hurricanes and tremors, wildfires and flooding, everything is broken and nothing is ever rebuilt.

Samarra, a southern soldier, has fled to the Barrow, a northern city where the only things growing faster than the city’s piles of garbage are extremist cults and violent gangs. Her sole objective is survival: to stay hidden and stay safe.

With jobs in short supply, Samarra counts herself lucky to find work with the Vauns, one of the Barrow’s most powerful and dangerous families. As she learns to navigate the beauty, the horror, and the magic of the lawless city, she finds herself living in the shadow of a missing woman—the beautiful and mysterious Raina, who worked for the Vauns before her. When the trail, long thought cold, heats up, Samarra must decide whether her newly gained chance at freedom is worth sacrificing for a ghost.
