I need advice to get my custom domain name and outside blog indexed and ranked well

Mike Frazier, Dyersburg Tn Real Estate (Carousel Realty of Dyer County) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:24:54 -0600

Over the last 2-3 weeks I have been working on a new outside blog and about 10 days ago bought a custom domain name to permanently point to it. It took me over a week to figure out the Cnames and Anames.

Now that I finally finished the DNS work I need to get the website picked up by Google.

I have several links to it from my other sitesand did submit it to google and several blog directories.

What else would you recommend that I do? I picked the domain name with the plan to get on the first pageof google with that search term. I appreciate any and all advice. Here's the link to my site.

Destin church on the beach!

Mike Frazier, Dyersburg Tn Real Estate (Carousel Realty of Dyer County) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 10:48:51 -0500

My family made a business trip/vacation to Destin,Florida lat week and we always visit this great small church there. On Sunday morning the preacher announced that we would have evening services on the beach at Beasley Park in Ft. Walton.

We were also asked to bring a picnic supper. We met more of the people at the church and enjoyed the fellowship. After eating under the pavilion, we all moved to the beach for the singing and lesson.

After singing several contemporary worship songs, Brad the preacher spoke a few minutes. He informed us that we were sitting on the only beach in the area that used to be a "black only" beach. He said that with tears in his eyes and said he regrets where this nation once was in regards to integration.

If you are planning on visiting in the Destin area, let me know and I will give you the name and address of this church. Also, we just purchased a condo right on the beach and I will make you a great deal on renting it. Click here to check availabily for this unit.

Government is wasting millions of dollars with government backed mortgage foreclosures!

Mike Frazier, Dyersburg Tn Real Estate (Carousel Realty of Dyer County) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:45:21 -0500

About 2 months ago, Fannie Mae changed their policy so that only owner occupants could purchase their foreclosures during the first 6 weeks of the listing. Of course Hud has this in place already for their foreclosures,

I am sure that Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae will soon follow suit.

However, this is for naught since the listing agent nor the potential selling agents are allowed to turn on any utilities prior to the offer or closing.

How many potential homeowners are willing to purchase a property without knowing if everything is in working order? I know that for Hud properties we are given an inspection report but I have found some many things wrong that were not addressed in those reports.

Freddie Mac in conjuction with HomeSteps is offering potential homeowners a 2 year home warranty if they purchase. But, they are not allowed to inspect property with utilities on.

I am the primary listing agent for Wells Fargo foreclosures in my area. One of the first things I am asked to do is have all utilities turned on. Owner occupants are buying some of these properties and at a higher price than investors are willing to pay.

Two weeks ago, I showed an owner occupant a Freddie Mac foreclosure and the first thing my client told me was lets make an offer subject to a home inspection. I told him we could do that but could not turn on the utilities. He then told me what good is a home inspection without utilities on? I agreed with him so he thought a few days about the 2 year home warranty that would go with the sale. While he was thinking, an investor negotiated a successful contract. Do you think that investor paid close to what the house is worth? I don't think so! The government is giving away "our" money to investors!

Whats the answer?

Give those government foreclosure listings to several "local" seasoned Realtors.
Require those local Realtors to turn on all utilities.
Stay with the first 6 weeks(owner occupant only).

Dyersburg foreclosure market is starting to turn!

Mike Frazier, Dyersburg Tn Real Estate (Carousel Realty of Dyer County) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 17:55:37 -0500

Today I went to show a Fannie Mae foreclosure but the listing agent told me he has a contract as of last night. I then asked him about another Fannie Mae foreclosure and he told me that one also has a contract above the list price.

My client was wanting to make an offer on the house this morning and before we found out the deal was done they asked me how much to offer. I told them that they need to offer about $5000 over the list price.But, we were too little too late.

We are still seeing many Dyersburg foreclosures but the sales prices on the lower priced ones are starting to creep up and the higher priced ones(for the most part) have already gone up.

So folks, no more low ball offers for Dyersburg foreclosures. Our economy is recovering and home prices stabilizing.

There still some deals out there but you just have to be the first one there. Call me or my staff to get there first for Dyersburg foreclosures or Dyersburg real estate.

Does your website supplier compete with your website?

Mike Frazier, Dyersburg Tn Real Estate (Carousel Realty of Dyer County) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 10:21:52 -0500

Over the last several years I have been content with homes.com as my website designer and host. I now have two websites with them.

Yesterday I got a call from someone at my website host wanting to help me redevelop one of my websites to make it more "sticky".

My first website is www.mikefrazier4homes.com. I have been doing pretty well seo'ing my website but notice that homes.com comes up higher for some search terms and basically they are just offering a mls search from a feed they take from me or the other homes.com customer here . I did write a blog post making our mls available to anyone and it came up higher on Google than my website host for search term Dyersburg MLS Search.

How can I benefit from someone making my site more "sticky" when my host is offering to let anyone search the entire Dyersburg MLS without registering? I know that other sites like Trula also offer our MLS searches.

Frankly, I believe my best bet is to continue blogging and offering more detailed information. I know that Google loves fresh content so I will continue down that road on my blogs.

Any advice would be appreciated! BTW, my other homes site is www.dyersburgrealestate.info

Jobs in the Dyersburg,Tn area!

Mike Frazier, Dyersburg Tn Real Estate (Carousel Realty of Dyer County) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 10:50:24 -0500

The economy here in Dyersburg has been very slow for the last few months but appears to be waking up.

Many of the plants have survived by lay-offs but now some of those have started calling back laid off workers.

Onw of my renters at Twin Oaks apartments is a "big cheeze" at a plant across the river in Hickman,Arkansas and he just told me his plant is now hiring. He works for Kender Morgan which is a company that is contracted to load barges on the Mississippi river for Nucore Steel. He did tell me they are hiring through a temporary agency in Blytheville,Arkansas called Dawson Temporary Services. Sorry I do not have their number.

Nucore Steel is doing much better but not sure about them hiring right now. Another plant close to Nucore Steel that has been hiring is Roll Coater. They take roll sheets of steel from Nucore and apply a paint covering on one side. I have talked to some who have just gotten hired at that plant.

I have also been seeing want ads in the local paper for jobs in the Jimmy Dean plant in Newbern.

Another plant here in Dyersburg that has been increasing production in last few weeks is the Quebecor World Color Plant. I have renters working there.

I have yet another renter(another big cheeze) working at the Eaton Plant in Newbern. He just told me they are getting ready to call back quite a few laid off workers as their business is definitely picking back up.

If you are considering a move to the Dyersburg area, we offer long term or short term rentals for you and your family.

Jobs Update: I closed the sale on a house today and the buyer told me Briggs & Stratton were going to start up hiring again in short order. Briggs in located in Newbern,Tennessee on Highway 77.

Jobs update 10/29/09: Tenaris(steel tubing and pipe) in Armorel,Arkansas(near Nucore Steel and Blytheville,Ark) is now hiring according to someone there at the plant. I also understand another plant close by to Tenaris and Nucore is also hiring. That plant is called IPSCO(make round steel tubing).

Wordless Wednesday(from 40 years ago)

Mike Frazier, Dyersburg Tn Real Estate (Carousel Realty of Dyer County) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:51:33 -0500

Just found this picture at home from long ago so thought I would share it with my friends.

The lake we were fishing in is now part of "the Farms golf and country club" which is a very nice area of Dyersburg,Tn to live in and really the only place we still have new construction in this down economy. Those houses average $200,000 and up. I just closed one yesterday for $214,000.

That is me on the right. Still great fish to be caught today!

My friend is scared of Realtors in general-Self Dealing?

Mike Frazier, Dyersburg Tn Real Estate (Carousel Realty of Dyer County) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:59:35 -0500

I have a friend whom I confided in that I was buying an investment property in another state and using a Realtor. He told me he was thinking of doing the same but was worried that all the Realtors there were "self dealing"!

In my opinion, the sub prime meltdown has sent the self dealing real estate agents(refuse to call them Realtors) scurrying away chasing the money in other professions.

Because there were not a lot of Activerain Realtors in the area I am purchasing in, I spent 6 months looking for the right Realtor and know I made the right choice. In my case, I relayed the actual experience I have had with this Realtor and made sure my friend understood that my Realtor is very professional and not self dealing! I since have invited Scott Etter to the Rain and he is just now getting his feet wet here.

Actually, it is pretty easy to get a feel for the character of an Activerain professional by:

look at the groups he or she is a member of
See if they are active on Activerain
Read their blog posts
Read the comments they leave on others posts
Look for someone with the same passion, ethics and professionalism you or I aspire to

What do you think? Are there still "self dealing" real estate agents in your town or city?

Swindler uses my office to cheat my business associates

Mike Frazier, Dyersburg Tn Real Estate (Carousel Realty of Dyer County) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 09:52:00 -0500

Jim Frazier dba Advertising Associates came to my office over a year ago offering to give me new presentation folders on which he solds ads.

What he did was use one of my offices to call businesses (some of them I recommended) and ask for a time to come by and discuss an advertising campaign.

He would then meet with the business person and make the pitch for a nice ad on Mike Frazier and Carousel Realty's presentation folders. He said the ad is only $300(upfront) to cover the cost of printing,etc.

By my count he talked 15 business people into this scheme. He told them the ads would come out in 6 weeks and now it has been over 9 months or so.

He also claims to be very conservative and supportive of the tea party movement.

Please remember this name and the scheme he uses to make his living.

The local police are trying to locate him right now!

If people will just Google him I am sure this post will be very visible for some time to come. Blogging just might catch this guy! Maybe include his name in your comments:)

Dyersburg Tn area new HUD foreclosures!

Mike Frazier, Dyersburg Tn Real Estate (Carousel Realty of Dyer County) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:51:05 -0500

A couple of weeks ago I blogged about a new HUD foreclosure at 2650 Jones Road. Here is a link to that Dyersburg HUD foreclosure post in case you missed it.

There is another fantastic Dyersburg HUD foreclosure buying opportunity at 710 Burges Chapel Road. Priced at only $125,000 this foreclosure should go fast. I personally sold this home to a couple back in 2006 and they got a FHA loan to purchase this home for a sales price of $165,000.

This is a beautiful home with ceramic tile, hardwood, fireplace, built in bookcases, a lake(not on property)right behind the house, big front porch, storm room inside the house, attached carport and a detached 3 car garage.

Let me remind everyone that I sell many of the HUD foreclosures here in my area and would love to assist anyone in purchasing a HUD foreclosure in the Dyersburg area.

This Dyersburg HUD foreclosure is a great opportunity for someone to get the home of their dreams. Here is a link to this Dyersburg HUD listing.

Staff meeting/lunch at Lakeview Dining Room-Reelfoot Lake

Mike Frazier, Dyersburg Tn Real Estate (Carousel Realty of Dyer County) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 14:42:37 -0500

Today for lunch, the Carousel Realty team went to Reelfoot Lake to eat at Lakeview Dining Room.

For months, my trainer, Jackie Keeling has been telling my team that he was going to take us to Lakeview Dining Room at Reelfoot Lake for lunch. Many of us have been telling Jackie that this is our favorite place to eat at Reelfoot Lake. Two of my team members(Realtors) and also my personal assistant were not able to attend today's luncheon..

Reelfoot Lake was formed in the 1800's by an earthquake that allowed the Mississippi River to actually flow backward and overflow into this area.

Today, Reelfoot Lake is a very popular tourist destination and a great place to hunt and fish. I deer hunted there last year and just went there a couple of weeks ago fishing. Down below will be pictures of the team eating lunch at Lakeview and pictures I took while inside the restaurant.

By the way, I had a fried chicken plate(like always) and it was great. The others ate catfish plates.

The Dyersburg Dyer county fair came to Dyersburg on labor day and extends through Saturday the 12th of September. The fair is always during the first "full" week of September.

There is so much to do and see at the fair. My daughters entered vegetables from our garden, crafts that they personally made and also cooked several desserts and entered them as well. I even entered some of my vegetables and we all got ribbons and money for our entries.

Last night we attended the magic show with Brian Staron who got his first start in magic by performing here in a talent competition. Brian is now employed at Disney World as a full time magician and entertainer.

Today, the school systems are out for fair day. I have been about three times this week and shot a few pictures with my blackberry and those are down below.

Buying a condo in Destin,Florida with a fantastic Realtor!

Mike Frazier, Dyersburg Tn Real Estate (Carousel Realty of Dyer County) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 16:49:33 -0500

Over the last several years, my family and I have vacationed on the emerald coast of Florida. We have always stayed at the Pelican Beach Resort in Destin. This is a beautiful resort in the heart of Destin and located only about a mile from the Destin airport where we fly in, tie down the plane and get a rental car.It is located directly on the beach with an unobstructed view of the gulf.

About 8 years ago we started watching the property values of the DestinPelican Beach Resortcondos start climbing through the roof. My wife said she sure wanted to buy one of those Destin condosbut I told her that one of these days the prices will drop and drop they did. The prices peaked in 2006 and have been on a steady decline up until recently. Now, the Pelican Beach Resort condosare slowly starting back up.

About 9 months ago I contacted a prominent Destin real estate firm about my future plans to buy a condo in Destin but more specifically at the Pelican Beach Resort. I was connected with one of the broker's team members who stated she would be happy to assist me. I told her of my plan to be down there the next week on a family vacation. I also told her I would like to meet with her or if she wasn't available then meet with her broker.

A couple of days into the vacation, I called my new agent and she told me she should be able to meet with me the next day and I told her that would be fine and I looked forward to meeting her. I also told her if she could not make it, have her broker meet with me. For the next 3 days of our vacation, I never heard from her or her broker.

After an exhaustive search online I finally found a great Destin Realtornamed Scott Etter. Here is the information from his websitethat I would like to share with you:

";I learned early on that Customer Service is ‘Key’, and what separates mediocre from superior. Going that extra mile to show a customer that you fully understand their needs and that you are willing to help them through every step of the process – it is this philosophy and mindset that I’ve carried over into Real Estate and why I choose to work with Prudential Coastal Properties. Working with such incredible cutting edge technology and a talented team of experienced Realtors, utilizing all our best attributes to assist each other and to ensure that our customers receive the best and most complete service.";

My wife and I hired Scott Etter about 3-4 months ago and have been very happy with our choice. I am a Realtor here in West Tennessee and I looked for a Realtor in Destinwith the same drive and skills that I aspire for myself and for my team members in my real estate company.

Not only does Scott send us new listings of Destin real estate condos for sale but he also went the extra mile shooting videos of condos for us. Here is oneof those videos of unit 1004 at the Pelican Beach Resort. Here is a secondvideo he shot.

One week ago Scott Etter helped us negotiate a fantastic buy on Pelican Beach condo unit 1004 and we are closing in about 30 days.

If you are contemplating purchasing a second home or condo in the Destin,Floridaarea, give Scott Etter a call at 850-533-6300. You will be glad you did!

Update 10/16/2009

We closed on unit 1004 last Friday and have been remodeling it for the last week. Our 1 br 2 ba condo is on the rental program and ready for your family! Call me to book this beautiful condo for your family vacation. Here are 3 pictures of the remodeling job!

Dyersburg real estate market starting to move again because economy is recovering

Mike Frazier, Dyersburg Tn Real Estate (Carousel Realty of Dyer County) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 15:17:58 -0500

We are seeing signs here in Dyersburg,Tennessee of a market recovery. Included in this recovery are jobs! Actually, many of the factories here in the Dyersburg area are calling back workers who were laid off over the last several months.

The steel mills just across the river from Dyersburg are also rehiring workers and also hiring new employees as well. I have two friends who just got hired at two of those mills.

Yes, the Dyersburg real estate market is definitely on the road back up and it is about time! Our phones here at Carousel Realty are really ringing and most of my agents are showing properties and writing contracts.

It sure is good to be selling real estate again and also good to see many laid off going back to work!

Terrible time getting my domain name transferred!

Mike Frazier, Dyersburg Tn Real Estate (Carousel Realty of Dyer County) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:23:42 -0500

A couple of months ago BellSouth(who hosts one of my websites) merged with ATT. After that happened we started getting e-mails asking us to point our domain name to the ATT servers. this is easier to say than do!

I tried to contact my domain reseller(domain-authority) to get them to assist me with the technical side of this. I tried calling, faxing and e-mailing but they never would call me back.

The other day I contacted Enom who then sent domain-authority a notice to contact me and if they did not within 48 hours then Enom could help me. I am now in the Enom help me stage and still spinning my wheels.

I am sure I will get past this too and when I do then I will have to transfer that domain to someone else.

Does anyone have a suggestion on who to host my domain name once I get it unlocked? I am considering Godaddy!

I have to get all this done pretty quickly because I am sure they are ready to drop the BellSouth servers and I do not want to lose the presence of my website and especially do not want to lose the e-mail accounts I have set up.

Dyersburg handicap accessible apartment!

Mike Frazier, Dyersburg Tn Real Estate (Carousel Realty of Dyer County) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 14:11:51 -0500

About a year ago, one of my tenants at Laurenwood apartments got disabled during an accident(slipped on ice while getting down from his tractor trailer truck). He lived upstairs at Laurenwood but after the accident he spent a couple of weeks in the hospital.

Since he had been a longtime renter we worked on an empty downstairs apartment to make it handicap accessible. About 1 month later a factory called looking for a Dyersburg handicap accessible apartment so we made the apartment across the hall handicap accessible. They had an employee just get injured at work who needed lots of rehab and a handicap accessible apartment.

Nice Dyersburg Hud Foreclosure with acreage!

Every once and a while a very nice Dyersburg HUD foreclosure comes along in the $200,000 price range. Here is a foreclosure on 2.9 acres and priced at only $175,000.

This Dyersburg area foreclosure was built in 1993 and features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. This home has a detached 3 car garage.

There is apparantly very little damage as HUD is escrowing only $750 for repairs if you purchase this home with a FHA 203K loan.

If you will click on the picture, it will take you to the actual listing and more pictures and information. I sell many HUD foreclosures and would be glad to show you this home and even sell you this Dyersburg HUD foreclosure.
