Numbers, numbers and more numbers. You NEED to know them. - 11:53 AM
 
If you’ve been in the business for as long as I have (26+ years) and was not a “numbers” kind of realtor it is very hard to adopt a new train of thought. You have to understand, believe and know that you run a business. It is yours and you need to know it. If you have goals and you’re trying to reach them you need to know how to get there. It took my Broker (Michael Balsitis) to speak that into me and I’m seeing the change(s) already.

In Defense of the Lost Art of the Real Estate Flier - 09:11 PM
The real estate flier that you put in the flyer box is your friend.  It is worth the effort...
Nowadays, there are plenty of homes without them, mainly due to the fact that a lot of REO agents don't want to mess with a flyer. Also, I see some agents do not keep the box full, perhaps because the house is vacant so the owner does not fill it up (it is not the owner's JOB!) so nobody is maintaining that aspect of the listing.
Before flyers go away due to QR codes and mobile search, take advantage of them...I particularly like … (2 comments)

The Fed's present program of exchanging its short-term debt for long-term debt (Operation Twist) is slated to expire at month's end, and it is not clear what, if anything, might replace it.
