hampton: Community of Phoebus, Hampton, VA. (Localism) - 12/17/08 11:29 AM
Phoebus
The community of Phoebus is a historic waterfront neighborhood in Hampton that is currently undergoing a revitalization effort in its historic district. Tax credits are being offered to promote business investment and restore historic buildings to their former glory. Due largely to these efforts Phoebus is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmark Register. It sits across Mill Creek from Fort Monroe and its easy accessibility to the Chesapeake Bay and Hampton Roads Harbor make it a prime location for fishing and boating. Phoebus still retains that small town atmosphere that is … (5 comments)

hampton: New Direct Mail Advertising Campaign-REALTORS advice especially welcome! - 08/28/08 03:28 PM
This week I just sent out several hundred direct mail 4x6 postcards I designed and printed on heavy weight stock. I am trying this marketing approach, after reading both the pro's and con's online, to gauge REALTOR response and decide if I want to continue or move in another direction. What I am really looking for is advice from REALTORS and others if they got this post card in the mail at their Brokerage if it would go immediately in the trash bin or would it generate any interest to visit the website?
Below is the front of the card:

Agents who use the Internet and Virtual Tours have to show half as many homes to each buyer, and spend one third of the time with each buyer before a purchase is made. You'll spend less time with each buyer, less time traveling, less money on promotion and open house supplies, and have a ready-made closing gift to give to the buyer.

Reserve your time for the most productive appointments.How many hours have you spent taxiing shoppers from one listing to another that you knew from the beginning wouldn't interest them?

While a virtual tour will never be a substitute for a personal walkthrough, it is an essential first step for helping a buyer hone in on the listings that fit their needs and taste, and with B. … (2 comments)

hampton: Phoebus Virginia Heron - 08/02/08 05:27 PM
While on a photography excursion to the quaint waterfront section of Hampton, known as Phoebus, I came across and shot a Heron I haven't seen in this area as often as I see the abundant Blue Herons and Great Egrets. The Heron I shot was a Yellow-crowned night heron, below is a juvenile bird:
I also shot this adult bird across Mill Creek in a tree:
