It puts us in a bad spot when we have to transfer funds. We need to be more prudent...Maybe we were just reaching for the sky in this first year.

Most of the time people leave to follow leaders. Coldwell Banker became too corporate. Pacific Union became too corporate. A lot of agents go into real estate because they can be independent contractors and they are trying to get away from the corporate feel.

We had to continue to recoup our legal costs; it was a return on investments.

It's bad. But I'll never forget Hurricane Andrew. I lost my house. I lost everything except my life.

Right now, I don't know the status of my home, but my daughter is still there and she lost everything.

It's looking less and less haunted all the time.

We're being killed with these legal costs. This is supposed to carry us to the end of this year.

The more we learn about the situation when you look at the obesity rates, it's very important that this is being pulled together and we're working forward as fast as we can to implement the policy.

I don't think we thought it was as serious as it was at first, but by Sunday we knew it was time for us to get out of there.
