When it comes to the Westminster Dog Show of the blogosphere world, Tyler Talk a lot is definitely top dog.
Coming off its current win at the Carnival of Real Estate, not including December’s 2007’s win, being Posh’d and having our “Staging Your New Jersey Home” post singled out for use in one of their month’s issue’s of 411 Real Estate Place, is just a few of the prizes that keeps Tyler barking to write more.
My only objective in giving Tyler a voice was to create “Buzz” around my home town of Colts Neck, New Jersey and among potential home buyers, sellers and other referring Keller Williams agents from around the country.
My mission was to better prepare homeowners to handle the current real estate market by writing about such topics as:
- Increasing Property Value
- How to Reduce Days on Market
- Current Market Reports
Plus give consumers the freedom to ask a question if something was on their minds. I am often heard telling my clients “No question is a dumb question”, but I have to smile because my most frequently asked question is, “Is Tyler A Real Dog?”….. With an overflowing pantry of dog bones, I think that alone should be proof enough of Tyler’s existence.
Thank you to all for your kind words and comments. I am sincerely humbled by it all.

Synergy, Seth Godin and The New Jersey Realtor
February 15th, 2008 Categories: Keller Williams Events
You may be wondering what a Best – Selling author and marketing genius like Seth Godin might have in common with a realtor from Colts Neck New Jersey, correct?
Well…..It’s a long story, and if you know me, you know that my stories usually are but I will try to make this short and painless.
Seth Godin was scheduled to deliver the keynote address in Atlanta Georgia for the Keller Williams Realty yearly convention known to all as “Family Reunion”
I was more than excited to say the least to hear Seth speak. I surely did not want to miss the author of 9 best selling books teach me how to set myself apart from the real estate pack and propel myself to “SUPER STARDOM”, well more SUPER than I already am but I digress.
I was staying on the 30th floor at the Westin hotel in Atlanta. On Tuesday February 12th, I awoke at 5:30am to find that there was NO HOT water in my hotel room. Somehow the power had gone out in part of the hotel. Not only were the boilers not working, the elevators were not working either. I was extremely upset, more so because I didn’t want to miss seeing Seth. I paced back and forth in my hotel room trying to come up with a solution to my problem. Surely Seth would give his speech to more than 8,000 Keller Williams agents and I would be the only one to miss him. Leaving without taking a shower was absolutely NOT an option for me!
Synergy is a funny thing. The stars must have been aligned on this particular day because little did I know that on the 67th floor of the same hotel, Seth Godin himself was facing the same predicament.
What are the chances that two people unknown to one another would be staying at the same facility and find themselves facing the same exact situation?
Ok, Ok, there might be a mathematical equation that proves that the chances are not that slim but far off enough to make my point compelling.
While Mr. Godin was concerned about how he would deliver his speech, I was concerned about how I was going to hear him give that speech.

. You will be able to visit his blog and read for yourself what transpired that fateful day.
I on the other hand did what any great and resourceful real estate agent would do. I requested a bucket, poured cold water through the coffee machine (no coffee filter of course!) collected enough burning hot water (approximately 45 mins) to combine with the cold water and was able to take a shower, get ready, walk down the 30 flights of stairs and still make it on time to see Seth Godin live and in person.
It was completely worth every ounce of effort that was put forth on my part to be able to witness this amazing Icon on that fateful day.
Synergy, Seth Godin and Sarah Bandy a real estate consultant from New Jersey, just may be kindred spirits….just maybe

February 14th is right around the corner. Ah….yes Valentine’s Day. The holiday celebrated around the country and usually celebrated in pairs.
With many different types of gifts exchanged with loved ones, from flowers to candy, I went on a quest to find a Real Estate related gift.
Would it be possible to combine Real Estate, Love, and a major holiday all in one?
While driving through beautiful Spring Lake New Jersey the answer was clear!
The Breakers Hotel was the perfect choice to enjoy a Valentine’s Day getaway.
From February 8th to the 18th you could take advantage of their Special Edition : “Romance In Spring Lake Hotel Package”.
The Breakers is the ONLY ocean front Resort Hotel in Spring Lake and would make the perfect Valentine’s Day Gift.
If you have been thinking about relocating to Spring Lake New Jersey, buying a New Home or simply looking into purchasing a Summer Rental, than do not hesitate to contact Sarah @ The Bandy Group.
And Remember:
The Best and Most Beautiful Things in The World Cannot be Seen or Even Touched. They Must Be Felt With the Heart.

Hi! I'm Tyler.
I'm always sitting under my Mom's desk as she does her Real Estate work.
No one knows who I am so I thought I'd create this blog and introduce myself.
I am a 4 year old Pomeranian. I share my home with my sister Tinkerbell, who happens to be a 3 year old T.Cup Pomeranian.
T.Cup is just a fancy term for “midget”. Tinkerbell is 3lbs; full grown; I know, I know, how cute, right?
I live in Colts Neck New Jersey and my mom is Sarah Bandy, a Real Estate agent who works for Better Homes Realty, the Colts Neck office.
Please check in often as I will be blogging all about the upcoming news and life underneath my Mom's desk! Plus Sarah herself and some contributing writers will also be hanging around to talk Real Estate. Hope to hear from you soon.
BARK BARK!
