    The Broker List Blog

    How many apps do you have on your phone? And how many do you use on a regular basis? Or how many television services are you subscribed to? Netflix? Hulu? Cable?

The latest example is, of course, Fake News On Facebook; who would have thought that connecting everyone via social media would lead to wildly divergent narratives of (so-called) reality? And yet here we are. But if you think social media is messy and weird … just wait until we get self-driving cars. This isn’t a non sequitur, I promise: you can now buy an entire house from Amazon.com for $36,000, p…

  • What New York can deliver Amazon

    Crains New York – Everything Real Estate

    Real estate execs and business leaders say they are confident New York will be on Amazon's short list after bids for its second headquarters are submitted this week.

    Indianapolis Business Journal – Latest News

And for the past 20 years, he has followed his passion quickly from one job to the next.
