There are a few rules you will want to follow, and a good virtual assistant should know what they are. As a Virtual Assistant myself, I can let you in on a little … (6 comments)

Ninjas with Blazers- A Modern Family Perspective on the Real Estate Industry - 11/19/10 12:41 PM
If there are any Modern Family fans out there, this post is for you! If you’ve never watched this show, the basic premise is a blend of stories about three different families who are all related in some way, and who find themselves in true to life situations that are accentuated with humor by each unique character. My favorite character is Phil who plays the role of father, husband, real estate agent and all around “cool-guy.” Phil’s character recently hit a slump in his real estate career, which seemed to ring all too true with, not only with agents, but with … (4 comments)

The holiday season is a time that’s full of fun, family, and, of course, shopping! While this is possibly the most fun time of the year, it’s also one of the most stressful.

Even online-shopping can be stressful as you can’t always read reviews of the products you’re purchasing or see how many people really like what you’re planning … (0 comments)

Picture This! A Simple Way to Boost Your Real Estate Image - 11/05/10 05:19 PM
Whether we like it or not, “image” in the real estate industry is a factor. Now, in some cases this can be the stereotypical glamorous agents we see on real estate reality shows. However, the vast majority of agents aren’t confused for models and wouldn’t think of pursuing an acting career. So, this poses the question: How can the average agent enhance their image in the industry? The answer? A unique, professional and memorable headshot. It’s seem easy... maybe a little too easy, but how you present yourself speaks volumes about how you present your business. People notice. Recently, Stacey Harmon … (7 comments)

Niche Marketing: Make Them An Offer They Can’t Refuse - 11/05/10 08:25 AM
RealSupport recently made a postcard for one of their clients in the Indianapolis area. The postcard was marketed towards a very specific demographic - waterfront homeowners whose listings had expired. You see, Randy Worrell’s entire business revolves around waterfront homes in Indianapolis. His definition of waterfront is not restricted to homes on lakes - he considers homes on reservoirs, ponds, rivers, and deeded boat docks all to fall under his realm of expertise. Many of you cringe at the thought of taking on such a specific market. Your immediate reaction is - But that excludes me from so many potential buyers … (3 comments)
