THE POWER IS NOW: Time, Value, Expertise, and the Future of Real Estate⏳

There is one exception to everything I am about to say about time—and that exception is God. God is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. God is not subject to time; time is subject to Him. God does not move through hours, days, or years. God does not age. God does […]

Update — November 13, 2025: The federal government reopened late last night when the President signed a stopgap funding package ending the record 43-day shutdown.
