Avon Lake: Yesterday! - 07/29/09 12:27 AM
Avon Lake: Yesterday!
          As a producer with Avon Lake Cable Television, it has been my pleasure to host several interviews of many of Avon Lake's long time residents, and in the process of these interviews I have learned much about Avon Lake: Yesterday!  The Avon Library and our cable station have begun recording history segments to help our residents learn about what it was like "back then".
            There are so many residents that have spent most of their lives in Avon Lake.  So many have stories of school days, farming the land, swimming at the beach at the end of … (1 comments)

Tools of a Real Estate Professional - 07/15/09 03:24 PM
 
Now that you are thinking, what tools do they need? 
First (before we even start our class work) we need to secure a brokerage company to accept our state real estate license once we have passed the written test.  Is that company a member of the National and State Association of Realtors?  Does that company allow you to practice real estate without accepting the National Association of Realtors Code of Ethics.  That in my opinion is the first tool every licensed agent should have.  The code provides the guidelines for our dealings with the public and our peers.

Why hire a Certified Residential Specialist? - 07/03/09 03:43 PM
If you needed heart surgery would you hire a foot doctor to work on you?  If you were hit by a car would you want an artist to handle your legal case?  Then why would you hire a Realtor with not national designation to represent you when you sell or buy real estate?
A CRS is a highly trained professional in the real estate industry.  A CRS is a firm believer in spending money to train themselves to represent their clients' needs.  A CRS is someone who attends training in other states to network with top Realtors and learn how they … (0 comments)
