If you’re like me, you may have come across a few Grammarly ads and commercials over the past few months. Grammarly, touts itself as the ‘The World’s Best Grammar Checker’. The question is, do real estate professionals need Grammarly?

What is Grammarly?

Grammarly is an advanced grammar checker more powerful than the spelling and grammar check found on Microsoft Word. Beyond spelling and basic grammar, Grammarly identifies confused prepositions, wordiness, plagiarism, overuse of passive voice and much more.

We are excited to share that Lone Wolf has been named to the Branham300 list of Canada’s leading Information and Communication Technology (ICT) companies for the seventh consecutive year!

Sitting at 105, Lone Wolf is up 68 spots up from our initial appearance on the list in 2011.

In April, we launched a new brand! While this refresh was more than just a facelift and included a renewed commitment to an unbeatable client experience, it presented a great time to modernize our look and really make a statement about the new direction we are heading as a company. First you’re hearing of this new direction? Check out this video.

When you build your website or are creating a billboard advertisement, designers will request vector images. But what is a vector image, and why do we want one?

Designers prefer working with vector images  because vectors are extremely versatile and able to be resized. In other words, vector images will allow your logo, headshots and advertisements look good no matter what size they are!

Always add value is the personal mantra of the wildly successful everywhere and one of the guiding principles by which happy and accomplished people live their lives.

I am a proponent of the idea that real estate professionals provide a valuable service that is ultimately immune to technological disruption. However, this isn’t to say that modern agents aren’t at risk unless they can define the value that they are providing.

We develop rules because they keep us safe. Some rules are explicit (do not steal) while others are implicit (bathe regularly).

The safety we get from rules has some benefits. For example, rules can lower stress and speed things up. However, staying safe by following rules is not in any way creative. Pull out a thesaurus and you’ll see that safe is synonymous with ‘guarded’ while creative is synonymous with 'inspired' and 'original'.
