carol culkin: When it comes to marketing real estate, social media should not be an option - 10/16/11 11:35 PM
Google me, Google my competition. If they cannot promote themselves nearly as well online, then chances are they have not embraced technology enough to be promoting their listings effectively. Many agents still shy away from social media. I have had other brokers and colleagues tease me about being on Facebook too much. Imagine that.
Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin - I'm everywhere, all the time. It doesn't mean I am sitting around with too much time on my hands and not working out in the field. No, not the case. Most of the time I'm updating my Facebook status or tweeting from my smart phone while briefly stopping throughout my … (6 comments)

carol culkin: Where In The World Is Carol Culkin....???!! - 05/13/10 11:39 PM
I know, I know ....I have been lost in (cyber) space. MIA. Had to come in out of the rain for a while ...Yes, I've been gone from the Active Rain network for a bit too long. Sorry to disappoint my regular readers and blog buddies. So, did I keep you guessing?
Sorry, but I needed to focus on other STUFF for a little while. I actually tried returning several days ago but apparently it was in the aftermath of a storm. Every time I tried to log on to Active Rain I saw the lightening. And, as if that weren't … (8 comments)

carol culkin: Sellers: Do You Understand The Mindset Of Employee Relocation? - 10/16/09 11:35 AM
Dear Carol, I look forward to my house hunting trip this upcoming weekend. I'll be in town for three full days but much of my time will be spent meeting with directors of the new division I will begin working for next month. Therefore, I have limited time to view property ....
I have selected these 10 listings as my top choices for my price range......
Sellers - Do you understand the mindset of a buyer who is moving to your area due to a corporate relocation? Maybe you are also selling your own home to relocate to a new town for a new job. All the more reason … (5 comments)

carol culkin: Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County And A Community That Is Up & Coming - 06/05/09 08:03 AM
I must admit, I was not too impressed with Poughkeepsie when I first moved to the Hudson Valley from a large Metropolitan city in the Midwest. That was 10 years ago. How things have changed. Could it be that this town sort of grew on me, or is it the transformation that has taken place over time which makes me like this place more? Okay, maybe it's a little bit of both.
Perhaps I was a bit shallow back then too. As I remember, I was first disappointed because there wasn't a Starbucks and yet Dunkin Donuts was everywhere. Eventually, Starbucks found Poughkeepsie and the neighboring towns … (4 comments)

carol culkin: Dutchess County - Purchase Offers Are UP 27% From This Time Last Year! - 05/06/09 01:21 AM
Think it's a buyer's market in Dutchess County? Think again. Here's the late breaking news from The Mid-Hudson Multiple Listing Service. The numbers released today show that purchase offers are up 27% from this time last year. The average number of days on the market is down by 7 days from March 2008. This is another subtle indicator that the local market is picking up.
Buyers who have been waiting might now be finding themselves very disappointed. While prices have fallen considerably and interest rates are at an all time low, the market has started to shift a little and some agents are even reporting … (5 comments)

carol culkin: I Have An Impostor! - 04/20/09 08:26 PM
Will The Real Carol Culkin Please Stand Up! Anybody my age or older, might remember that this was a line from an old TV game show - To Tell The Truth.
As the game is played, there's a panel of four judges who have to identify the noteworthy REAL person of whom the name belongs. Of three contestants, one has some small claim to fame, while the other two are impostors. As all three contestants are interviewed, the two imposters tell lies to stump the panel, while the real person has sworn "to tell the truth."
Now, I personally have no claim to fame. I am just an active Realtor relying on the Internet to … (17 comments)

carol culkin: Buyers: Don't Underestimate Your Time Frame! - 05/21/08 10:17 PM
When planning to purchase a home to coincide with a particular date such as the expiration of a lease, or the sale of another home - it is important that a buyer understands the importance of a well thought out time frame. Just how long the home buying process might take depends on many factors.
A home buyer should consult with a real estate agent to determine what the average time frame is for the locale. A buyer cannot assume when moving from a state where the typical home sale closes in 4 weeks that it is the same way all over the country.
First time home buyers often make the mistake of underestimating … (5 comments)

carol culkin: From State To State - Real Estate Is A Different Game! - 04/12/08 12:05 AM
I specialize in relocation and feel it's important to mention - the process of a Real Estate transaction differs from state to state. So many agents do not know this. So many buyers and sellers need to be educated to this fact. A transaction in Ohio can close in 4 -6 weeks, while a transaction in NY can take 7-9 weeks (attorney state).
Always use caution when planning to simultaneously coordinate two transactions involving two different states. There should always be a back up plan.
