I have always been a fan of using drip email marketing to drive clients to REALTOR’s® websites. It is arguably to most cost effective direct marketing tool that many agents have available. There are however, a number of things to keep in mind to make sure that your email communications are welcoming customers toward you and not driving them away. If you are just sending out updates and data you may not be getting the results that you are looking for and may even be hindering the sales process. In contrast, a carefully crafted email message with the proper call to … (1 comments)
Yesterday in our sales meeting, a new topic was brought up: CLUE reports. I say new, because though I have read about CLUE reports on-line for a while, they are not commonly used in real estate transactions in Michigan.
My recent post of 10/12/06 WHY DOES ANYONE TAKE THE ADVICE OF THE PRINT MEDIA, ANYWAY, prompted a reply from a mortgage lender that he agreed with the media that home buyers should NOT get referrals for their mortgage loan from their buyer's agent. A further suggestion was that home buyers should get advice about whom to finance their Maryland or Virginia home purchase from a "financial advisor, a stockbroker, financial planner, accountant, etc."GET A MORTGAGE LENDER RECOMMENDATION FROM A FINANCIAL ADVISOR, FINANCIAL PLANNER,STOCKBROKER OR ACCOUNTANT??Perhaps home buyers in California where the lender is located have a relationship with a financial … (33 comments)
This is a photo taken today of the newest and only track homes under construction in Seven Hills, LaVita. This is going to be a very interesting product unlike we've seen in most areas of Las Vegas. The Builder is KB and the floor plans range from 4500sf to 9000sf, very large for a track builder. But you had better get in line because there are only 33 lots! The finish quality should be fantastic, there is even an option to add an elevator. This particular parcel has been sitting for some time but now is under-construction and will have breathtaking views … (0 comments)
I'd like to hear from members about Realtor Expos that they've attended - specifically the good ones. Do you attend your local realtor expo if they have one or do you only attend state/nation expos/conferences?

Below is an aritcle which appeared in today's Inman News discussing Blogging in Real Estate. Active Rain subscribers are ahead of the game! I take no credit for this article, I simply found it. I'd be interested in hearing some feedback....
When you enter the Lake Las Vegas Resort master-planned community, the road takes you along the lush green fairways of The Falls Golf Course. Just ahead, one right turn transports you from championship golf to an old-world Italian lakeside location - MonteLago Village.
When I was a little girl my Father used to play the Piano. He taught me the following song. This song stuck with me. I have kept it in my heart for many, many years. Although, I have lost that sweet angelic voice I once had, I can still hum and remember every word to this song. I am sharing it with you because I think you will enjoy it and be inspired by it. Some of you may have heard this song before and have not heard it in many years. The 70's were a long time ago. So, hum along with me as … (14 comments)
I have been enjoying this banter about fiduciary capacity in the real estate transaction as it related to lending. Clearly, this has been a fun "academic discussion" for me today and probably a pain in the patootie for many other posters in the Active Rain Real Estate Community.
When you are out with buyers and it starts raining extremely hard to you try to get out of the car and run to the door? Today I had to meet an agent at one of my listings that came back on the market. On the way over it started to really come down. When I arrived at the home I was able to get out under the carport without getting soaked. The agent said she wanted to cancel the appointment because of the rain storm. I have to tell you it got me thinking is it rude to walk into … (0 comments)
