Continuing Education Legislation Introduced - 10:40 PM
NJAR®, working with Senate Majority Leader Steven Sweeney (D3) and Assembly Majority Leader Bonnie Watson Coleman (D15), introduced bare bones legislation this week that would mandate continuing education (CE) for real estate brokers, broker-salespersons and salespersons. A3099 and S2068, which are only meant to be placeholders for more comprehensive legislation, were introduced at NJAR®'s request following the June 10, 2008, NJAR® Board of Directors vote to strongly support state-mandated continuing education for real estate licensees. NJAR® will work over the summer to develop a comprehensive bill, incorporating the NJAR® CE Task Force recommendations, that will replace the current bill language so … (0 comments)

Ludlow VT Real Estate: American Dream Alive And Well - 05:23 PM
The so-called "American Dream" has, in the past, been an ideal goal for people which almost always included owning real estate.  Due to the recent slowing of the real estate market, however, home ownership is often seen as more of a nightmare than a dream.   But it doesn't have to be that way!  Even in a slower economy, purchasing Ludlow VT real estate can still be a step toward achieving your own "American Dream!"

Explaining blogging - blog topics - 08:49 PM
This afternoon Tami and I met with the owners of a downtown St Petersburg condo in Bayfront Towers and were talking about internet marketing strategies. They knew what blogging was, in general terms, but didn't understand how that would relate to marketing a property. I was explaining that it's not the same as just saying you have a 3 bedroom condo priced at x, etc - it's about finding points to blog about.
For example, I'd blog about the raised platform in their master bedroom, in the bay window, where they have two comfortable chairs looking out at a magnificent water … (11 comments)

New Orleans Homes and Condos, We have our own color schemes? - 08:06 PM
    This is part of a recent article on colors of homes in the New Orleans area and how unique many of the homes and condos are.  I have added some of my photos to give you some ideas of the variety.  Historic New Orleans is blessed to have many such neighborhoods.  Sometimes change is not good.  We should be glad to have such a colorful city. New Orleans Condo Trends Blog for more

Advertising Design Cliches you Don't Want to Make - 05:30 PM
In a previous life before coming to work for Rob, I worked for Ad Agencies, and on the Marketing and Sales side of Condo Projects. These past experiences taught me a LOT about what NOT to do when designing an advertisement.
Rule #1: Just because you are printing in Colour, doesn't mean you have to cover every square inch of paper in ink.
Yes, I know that it costs more to print in colour than it does to print in Grayscale. However, if you are adding colour just for the sake of adding colour "since you're paying for it anyway", you … (3 comments)

Testimonials Kick A$$! - 08:36 PM
This one goes beyond just referrals.  While it's a wonderful thing to have a former client refer somebody to you, it's even better when prospective clients can read or hear experiences from those folks ... and then talk to that person who has already done business with you.  Then, they reach out.  Then, it's a bit more comfortable to know they know a person who can and will look out for their best interests.
At the end of the day, that's what matters to any consumer or person. (Consumers, aren't we all:-)
I've delivered more 'Bad' news than I care to share recently.  That's reality though.  I'm sorry, … (50 comments)
