@Jay Hinrichs It's flattering to be mentioned by you in a post.  

Eric- we all bow down to your greatness... prallen, I think you have it backwards… You are supposed to flatter someone first before you bash them.

I was flattered but had no idea what to do for her or how to fit.

I am always very flattered when a salesperson takes the time to know my needs as a consumer.

Thanks...My observation Wow, I'm not sure any of that made sense, but being described as a combination of an economics textbook, various past Presidents, an imported cigar, and a current Presidential contender is quite flattering...I'm not sure I deserve it, but thank you, sir!

If it was a flattering article about a company, he would sell the stock.

You are painting the most flattering picture of yourself. 

         The way you worded that question was very flattering @Jacob Hinojos, but keep in mind I am fairly new in real estate.

@Luc BoironThat's flattering, but neither warranted or earned ... no matter how you measure it.Funny thing is I would probably put your father and big brother on my shortlist of those who are "best" at sharing what they do: I've gotten my money's worth out of their highly priced textbook.A list of the most successful would have to include the late David Azrieli, Bob Gaglardi and the Bronfman brothers.My list of "flashiest" - both in their successes and failures - would include the Reichmann brothers (O&Y and Canary Warf ring any bells?).  

While it's flattering, we always decline because we have heard horror stories from other business people about partnering with family and friends.
