Quotes of the Day

As more and more time is spent on the negotiations, it becomes increasingly hard for the seller to dump the deal. If all the extras or problems are brought out at the beginning, it's so easy for the seller to just say "No!" The more time invested in a deal, the more each party has to lose if it doesn't go through. Any time spent considering the deal always increases the chances of getting the other party to say, "Yes!" [2006] - Robert Irwin

If you don't have a buyer broker relationship in writing, the listing broker has the primary duty to the vendor, and the broker whom you otherwise use is technically a sub-agent of the listing broker. In both these scenarios, the agents legally represent the interests of the vendor. [2006] - Douglas Gray

Building and repairing relationships are long-term investments. [2004] - Stephen R. Covey

Even a relatively low amount of animal protein in the diet could raise a hormone called insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Because IGF-1 signaling plays a key role in tumor growth, reducing IGF-1 levels by dietary methods is now considered by most scientists studying this subject to be effective cancer-prevention measure. When we strive to consume most of our protein from plants, we solve the IGF-1 issue and help prevent both cancer and diabetes. [2013] - Joel Fuhrman

When you eat and drink, your stomach naturally expands to make room for what you’ve just ingested, which can increase pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and lead to a relaxing of this important muscle. Once this muscle relaxes, the doorway to refluxed acid has been precariously left open. One way to prevent the gastric distention that occurs after you eat from placing too much pressure on the LES is to simply go for a walk after meals. A post-dinner walk has been linked to reduced risk of stomach cancer. To help ensure that this walk prevents rather than provokes refluxed acid, it’s best to stick to a leisurely pace, which should be decidedly slower than the brisk or vigorous one you will aim for during exercise. [2017] - Jonathan Aviv
