The Law of Nature: Connect With Spirit, Achieve New Growth

Every time I have been inside the Jessup Correctional Institution to speak, I have always felt moved by the spirit. Yes, the guys who I am speaking to have committed crimes, and the general consensus on the outside is to not care about what happens to them. They’ve sealed their fates. They did the crime, now they must do the time. But when I’m there, I feel a sensation, one that leads me to conclude that these guys can connect with spirit.

Being Liked or Being Respected? What Your Preference Says About You

Blog, Personal Philosophy / Rob Commodari

It feels good to be liked, but there’s a difference between being liked and being respected. If it’s a choice between the two, which would you rather be? I believe the correct answer is respected. You see, you can be liked, but not respected, but if you’re respected, the odds are good that you’ll be liked.

Less Is More in Home Staging, and in Life

Personal Philosophy, Psychology of Real Estate / Rob Commodari

I have been in real estate for 15 years now and I enjoy going on listing appointments. When I do go on a listing appointment, one of the first points I make to all of my sellers is this: buyers are always looking for space. They are looking for space on the floors, the walls,

Building Your Connections Is Like Tilling Tomatoes

Psychology of Real Estate / Rob Commodari

One day, while watering my garden I got to thinking how preparing and growing vegetables is similar to growing your connections in business. Sounds crazy but it’s an apt metaphor. Indulge me as I tell you about my recent horticultural endeavors to explain what I mean. Three years ago I took up gardening as a hobby. I had had an itch

Seasons of Change: From Real Estate Referrals to Personal Advocate

Blog, Personal Philosophy / Rob Commodari

This spring, I watched proudly as my daughter graduated from St. Ursula School. She had been attending the K-8 school since kindergarten, and was leaving as an eighth grade graduate on her way to experience the next phase of her journey, in high school. There’s sadness to the end of this season of our daughter’s life,

Some call it a rite of passage. I call it a blessing or simply wonderful. You bring your children up in a world of unknowns and try to do the best you can. From the time your kids are born to when they walk for the first time, ride a bike, go off to school, grow into

Inspiration and Transformation as Taught by Bruce Springsteen

Blog, Personal Philosophy / Rob Commodari

Growing up, I was never much of a Bruce Springsteen fan. I had nothing against him; I just wasn’t a fan of much of his music. I knew a few songs, “Born in the USA,” “Glory Days,” and a few others. About two months ago when tickets went on sale for his concert at the

Several years ago when I gave my first public speech to a crowd of 650 people, I recorded it and gave it to my business coach, a very gifted public speaker, to evaluate how I performed and what I could do better. After I sent it to him, a few months went by before I

The Good and The Bad of the Baltimore Housing Market

Baltimore Trends, Blog / Rob Commodari
