Home Value

Callie Sinkinson, e-PRO, ABR (Cutler Real Estate) — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 13:12:37 -0600

Home Owners!

Are you considering refinancing your loan (great rates today)/ having your Real Estate Taxes reviewed/or looking at a short sale? Getting a market analysis from your Realtor is the first step! It can be known as a BPO or a CMA and it can help you determine your equity or loss/gain in your home.

You do not need to list your home to get one either! It is a great tool and having one done each year is not a bad idea. Best of all it is a free service!

Check out this article from Rismedia for some explanations of times you might need to get a CMA.

Twitter Tuesday

Callie Sinkinson, e-PRO, ABR (Cutler Real Estate) — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 14:32:24 -0600

Today I listened to a radio program on the internet…so cool…it was with http://BlogTalkRadio.com and the guest speaker was Rick Abbot @TheDigitalLife.net. You can tell I am a tech JUNKIE:-)

Twitter is fantastic and if you haven’t tried it you must….talk about connecting with people….I am talking about connecting with the universe! Obama and I are connected, as well as several celebs…quite a few people out there have a couple of MILLION friends. The knowledge base from all of these connections is phenomenal and growing daily.

If you love blogging or FaceBook you must try out Twitter. I seem to be having an issue with this blog and am unable to add my widget so I will post it here for all to see. By all means let’s connect :-)

Home Buyers Help

Callie Sinkinson, e-PRO, ABR (Cutler Real Estate) — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 10:31:26 -0600

With all the new technology, today's home buyers have many options for getting the information they need to make their purchase. I can offer two more innovative ways to help buyers! One is a phone number I can give buyers to call from their cell phone to get info on ANY MLS listed home they happen to drive by or hear about! Ask me how.... The other is an online tool that allows them to search the MLS and save their choices!! Buyers will have a portal with a password and login given to only them....WOW! These tools make buying a home so easy in today's market....with rates where they are..It is time to buy!

Active Rain Blogging-BreakOut

Callie Sinkinson, e-PRO, ABR (Cutler Real Estate) — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 09:27:44 -0500

                    Yesterday I attended a wonderful Webinar, hosted by NoBloggerLeftBehind.com. If you are a blogger and have not been to the site or attended the program, you are really missing the boat! The session on Thursday was about Active Rain, which I really needed. Active Rain has always felt too busy for me...like a convention or large store....with 97,290 members it can be overwhelming! Now I have a different opinion and know how it can help my business.

       We had Joeann Fossland, Master Certified Coach with Frances Flynn Thorsen, Managing Editor of RealTown.com and award winning Blog Coach running the show. In attendance with me were Pam Dent, from Charlottesville Virginia ( I used to live there), Monica Macnamara ,from Ocean City Maryland, Margaret Rome, from Baltimore Maryland (lived there too), Peg Silloway from IBlogForYou.com and I am sure there were more listening. Pam and I were in a NoBlogger eight week program together. Monica is the RealTown/Inman Connect Blog Contest Grand Prize Winner is going to the Inman Connect Conference as a prize ( congratulations Monica). Margaret, an award-winning dynamo, has been very successful with her ActiveRain blog and was the great speaker...she is even publishing a book in November!

     We talked about listing posts, tag, comments, and more. One of the most important tips was to use the listing posts to help your seller see how global we can be. It is always fun to learn new ways to market yourself and your business. I will post a link to the Webinar when I get it so you can see what I am talking about. There is so much to learn, everyday there is a new tech tool for us to use. Do you love it as much as I am?
