<description><![CDATA[Considering basic service characteristics of intangibility, inseparability, perishability, and difficulty of standardization, I am consistently impressed by the way Disney handles their approach to service. Disney builds a brand image not only with the positioning and differentiation of their many hotels and restaurants, but also through their employees. All employees are considered Cast Members; an important and integral part of the Disney Show of service beyond expectations.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One could argue that investing in real estate today is really risky. But all investing involves risk.  I challenge you to name a time when investing in any business involved no risk. The same thing goes for real estate.  The real question is: How do we minimize risks and maximize value and potential profits? Maybe all the talk about a "down real estate market" has scared you away from even considering buying investment real estate?  Consider that many investors today are making a fortune in the current real estate market, as others have done in past down markets. Donald Trump probably laughs when someone mentions the current real estate "crisis." One man's crisis is another billionaire's long-awaited opportunity.  Forget the home flippers and consider small-deal commercial property.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[More and more women today are showing commercial and industrial property to potential leasing prospects.  The very nature of vacant or semi-vacant warehouse and industrial property often makes it either remote or physically separated from occupied office space. The separation from other people can pose a threat, particularly to commercial real estate agents.  Although this is true for both male and female agents, the biggest risk appears to be for the ladies. Following in this article are Seven Safety Tips from my own experience and adapted from the National Association of Realtors. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Friends of mine who own a hotel in Orlando, Florida are originally from the African country of Kenya.  They are all Americans now but still visit Kenya, each year or so.  Their glowing descriptions of the country and the natural beauty, as well as their personal invitations to stay with them, have made me seriously consider travel to Kenya. Earlier today, however, my day dreaming ended when I received an email alert about travel to this part of Africa from the U.S. State Department. You too should always stay alert to current political situations in any country you may be planning to visit. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is going through a 500-unit growth spurt. And the 16 year old Walt Disney Company owned time share firm is getting a more sophisticated and grownup look.  The expansion includes plans to add 50 two bedroom Disney Vacation Club time share suites in Anaheim, California, as part of a 250 room 2009 expansion of the Disney Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. The DVC brand graphics shift is because, oddly enough, Mickey Mouse was not always a best friend when it came to time share sales. Reportedly, buyers cannot always make the connection between the animated icon and a real estate transaction.  ]]></description>
