We’re currently in the process of leasing a commercial property in Baltimore, Maryland and I got to thinking about the various roles that are played throughout even a fairly simple transaction. We own a commercial building in a very nice area of downtown Baltimore and we’ve listed it with a leading broker in the area. […]

The answer is no. You should have had to address that question in writing at some point prior to your interview and you should have answered it honestly at that point. That is to say, you should say yes, but you should certainly save your explanation (and it better be a good one) for the […]

We’ve talked about it many times, trying to weigh the value of your time versus how much money you’re making. Are you wealthier making 40K per year working 30 hours per week or making 80K working 60 hours per week? It’s an ongoing struggle for most of us, desperately trying to find a balance that […]

Some people refer to manual labor or general labor jobs as unskilled labor. And I’m not sure that’s ever really accurate.
